Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to Infotainment is limited to the passenger com-
partment.
To connect a telephone with Infotainment, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing process depends on the number of already connected telephones
or by using the SIM card inserted in the external module (Columbus)
» page 166 .
Depending on the Infotainment type, up to 20 external devices can be paired
with the device. After reaching the maximum number, the pairing of the next
external device will replace that of the device that has not been used for the
longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired tel-
ephones and make the connection.
WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to Infotainment only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of an accident!1)
In some countries, the function may not be available.

CAUTION
■
When inserting a SIM card of the incorrect size, there is a risk of damage to
Infotainment.■
Avoid using a an adapter for the SIM card as the SIM card may fall out while
driving due to vehicle vibrations - There is a risk of damage to the external

The Bluetooth ®
profile RSAP (remote transmission of SIM data) also allows, in
contrast to Bluetooth ®
profile HFP the use of data services of the connected
telephone (if this profile is supported by the telephone and data services are
enabled in this telephone) » page 175.
The use of Bluetooth ®

sible to block or release the connection using an rSAP profile in the telephone.
If a SIM card is inserted in the external module, it is not possible to connect the
telephone to Infotainment using the rSAP profile.

Hotspot (WLAN) and data connection
Hotspot (WLAN)
Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen.
WLAN can be used to connect to the Internet, to playback audio files in the menu media (if the connected external device allows this) or for operating In-
fotainment using an application in the external device (e.g. ŠKODA Media
Command).
The requirement for the WLAN function is the ignition is switched on. After
switching on the ignition, the last-used WLAN connection appears.
It is possible to connect up to 8 external devices on the Infotainment hotspot and at the same time to connect Infotainment to the hotspot of other external
devices.
If there is a SIM card with activated data service in the external module of Info-
tainment Columbus or there is a connection to the telephone via Blue-
tooth ®
profile RSAP, the external device cannot be connected to the hotspot.

Android Auto
Introduction to the subject
The Android Autoconnection can be set up under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
Infotainment is switched on.
The external device to be connected is switched on.
Some applications require the data connection in the connected external de-
vice to be turned on.
If Infotainment connected to an external device via Android Auto then all the
telephones currently connected, as well as the Bluetooth ®
Players are discon-
nected.
The external device to be connected will automatically establish a new tele-
phone connection via Bluetooth ®
as a main telephone. Connecting an addition-
al telephone using the telephone services of the SIM card inserted in the ex-
ternal module is not possible over the duration of the connection. A possible
data connection using the SIM card inserted in the external module remains
operational » page 175.
An external device connected using Android Auto cannot be used as an audio
source in the menu Media.
If route guidance is taking place at this moment in Infotainment, then there is
the option to start the route guidance in the Android Auto application. This is
also true reciprocally.
A list of external devices, regions and applications that the Android Autocon-
nection supports can be found on the Google website. Functionality is not
