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.

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.
