Hotspot (WLAN) and data connection
Hotspot (WLAN)
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).
The requirement for the WLAN function is that the ignition is switched on. Af-
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.
