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 the
device using an application in the external device (e.g. ŠKODA Media Command).

ter switching on the ignition, the last-used WLAN connection appears.
It is possible to connect up to 8 external devices to 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 services in the external module of In-
fotainment Columbus or there is a connection to the phone via Bluetooth ®
profile RSAP, a connection cannot be established to the external device hot-
spot.

Using the applications in the connected external device, you can use naviga-
tion to make a call and to listen to music.
For reasons of safety, the operation of some applications while driving is not
possible or only limited.
Depending on the model of the connected external device, some applications
can be started using voice activation, via the Infotainment screen, using the

■ During the connection process, information messages may be displayed on
the Infotainment screen, and in the phone display. These messages must be
observed and confirmed if necessary (e.g. Release of data transfer, enabling
the contact import, release of text messages).■
We recommend that you use extension cords from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.
