SmartGate is a system which transmits vehicle data via Wi-Fi.
The ŠKODA applications installed in a connected communications device (e.g.
phone, tablet, notebook) 1)
offer the possibility to further process the received
data.
Available applications and further information can be found on the ŠKODA
website.
