responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in such a way that you are in full control of your vehi-
cle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!

To connect a telephone with the device, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing procedure is dependent on the number of telephones already con-
nected, whether using the inserted SIM card in the external module or via the
telephone using the profile rSAP » page 37, Possible connection types .
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require coupling. It is enough to find the telephone that has been coupled in the list of coupled
telephones and make the connection.
If a SIM card is located in the external module with activated telephone serv-
ices, then only one telephone can be connected with the device. Depending on
the telephone used only those telephone contact lists and text messages
(SMS) are available.
If a device is connected to the device using Apple CarPlay, then a connection
using Bluetooth ®
is possible.
Note
■ The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the pas-
senger compartment.■
The maximum number of paired telephones is 20. Pairing a new telephone
after reaching the maximum number causes the telephone that has not been
paired for the longest time to be automatically replaced.
conditions for coupling
The telephone can be coupled with the device under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function of the device » page 16 and the telephone is
switched on.
The visibility of the device » page 16 and the telephone is switched on.
The telephone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal of the device.
The telephone is compatible with the device.
There is no device connected to the device using Apple CarPlay.
The pairing can be initiated from the device or from the telephone.
During the pairing and connecting process the device can demand the confir-
mation by the Bluetooth ®
profile (e.g., enable contact import, enable the test
messaging or the connection of an audio player or similar). The telephone dis-
play should be monitored to acknowledge any possible request.
Please refer to the compatibility of telephones as well as updates which are
available for the Bluetooth ®
device, and are available on the following ŠKODA
Internet pages.

Some applications require that the data connection in the connected device is
turned on.
By establishing the Android Auto ™
connection all existing Bluetooth ®
connec-
tions are terminated to the device and a Bluetooth ®
connection using the
Android Auto ™
is established to the device.
A device connected using Android Auto ™
cannot be used as an audio source in
the menu Media.
If route guidance is active at this moment in the device, then this is terminated
by starting the route guidance in the Android Auto ™
application. This is also
true reciprocally.
A list of devices and applications that the Android Auto ™
connection supports
can be found on the Google website.

During the first connection establishment it is necessary to confirm the con-
nection request in the device screen and to confirm the connection approval
and the device to be connected.
During the connection establishment a device request can also occur requiring

GPS satellite signal
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for route
guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-
nels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions using
some on-vehicle sensors (such as speed sensor or steering angle sensor).
The unit offers the possibility to show in the split screen display the following
Position » Fig. 44 on page 61 information about the current geographical po-
sition of the vehicle and the satellite signal.
Geographical longitude
Geographical latitude
Elevation
Number of received/available satellites
To view the information on the longitude and latitude of the current vehicle
position display requires the reception of GPS signals from at least three satel-
lites.
To view the elevation information of the current vehicle position display re-
quires the reception of GPS signals from at least five satellites.
