SmartLink
Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero.
Fig. 195
Information on SmartLink on the
ŠKODA websites
Read in the QR code » Fig. 195orenter the following address in the web brows-
er to open the website with information on the SmartLink system.
http://go.skoda.eu/connectivity-smartlink
SmartLink offers the option to display certified applications on an external de-
vice equipped with a USB device on the Infotainment screen and to operate
them.
SmartLink supports the following communication systems. ▶ Android Auto
▶ Apple CarPlay
▶ MirrorLink ®
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
operating elements on Infotainment, or using the buttons on the multi-func-
tion steering wheel.
The voice control of the connected external device can be activated by holding
the button 
or holding the button
 on the multifunction steering wheel.
CAUTIONTo establish the connection, it is necessary that the date and time in Infotain-
ment are set correctly. If the date and time setting is based on the GPS signal,
then problems may arise with establishing a connection with a poor GPS signal
reception.
Note
■ 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.
■
With some connected devices, it is necessary that the connected external
device is unlocked over the entire duration of the connection for trouble-free
functioning of the SmartLink function“”.

external device is connected again.
If the connection was terminated by disconnecting the cable from the USB
port, then the last active connection is shown in the main menu when the ex-
ternal device is reconnected.
Android Auto
Introduction to the subject
The Android Auto- connection can be set up under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
Infotainment is switched on.
The external device to be connected is switched on.
Some applications require the data connection in the connected external de-
vice to be turned on.
If Infotainment is connected to an external device via Android Auto then all the
phones currently connected, as well as the Bluetooth ®
players are disconnec-
ted.
The external device to be connected will automatically establish a telephone
connection via Bluetooth ®
as a main phone. Connecting an additional tele-
phone and using telephone services of the SIM card in the external module are
not possible for the duration of the connection. A possible data connection us-
ing the SIM card inserted in the external module remains operational
» page 164 .
An external device connected using Android Auto cannot be used as an audio source in the menu Media.
If route guidance is taking place at this moment in Infotainment, then there is
the option to start the route guidance in the Android Auto application. This is
also true reciprocally.
A list of devices and applications that the Android Autoconnection supports
can be found on the Google websites. Functionality is not guaranteed outside
of the supported regions.
