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.

The SmartLink function offers the possibility to display and operate certified
applications of a connected device (such as a telephone) in the device screen.
Depending on the connected device some applications can be started using
the voice activation, via the device screen, using the operating elements on
the device or using the buttons on the multi-function steering wheel.
The voice control of the connected device can be activated by pressing and
holding the button 
or by pressing and holding the symbol key
 on the
multifunction steering wheel.
For reasons of safety, the operation of some applications while driving is limi-
ted or not possible.
Using the applications in the connected device it is possible to use the naviga-
tion, to make a call, to listed to music or similar things.
The SmartLinkFunction supports the following connection types.
› Android Auto ™
› Apple CarPlay
› MirrorLink ™
The device allows only one active connection.
CAUTION■ ŠKODA is not responsible for damage to the unit or to the vehicle by the use
of faulty or incorrectly programmed applications in the connected device.■
Due to the low charging current from the USB input, intensive use of the
SmartLink function can lead to the discharge of the battery of the connected
device.
■
To establish the connection, it is necessary that the date and time values in
the device are set correctly. If the setting of the date and time values are
based on the GPS signal, then a connection may not be possible with bad sig-
nal reception. If there is sufficient signal reception, the synchronization of the
device with the GPS signal may take up to ten minutes.
Note
■ We recommend that you use extension cords from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.■
The device saves the last 10 connected devices.
■
With some connected devices, it is necessary that the connected device is
“unlocked” over the entire duration of the connection for trouble-free func-
tioning of the SmartLink function.
