SmartLink
Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
Fig. 54
QR code with reference to the
ŠKODA websites
Read in the QR code » Fig. 54using the respective application on your external
device orenter the following address in the web browser to open the website
with information on the SmartLink communication system.
http://go.skoda.eu/connectivity-smartlink
SmartLink offers the ability to display certified applications on an external de-
vice equipped with a USB device on the device screen and to operate them.
SmartLink supports the following communication systems. ▶ Android Auto ™
▶ Apple CarPlay ™
▶ MirrorLink ®
Using the applications in the connected external device it is possible to use
the navigation, to make a call, to listen to music.
For reasons of safety, the operation of some applications while driving is limi-
ted or not possible.
Depending on model of the connected external device, some applications can
be started using the voice activation, via the device screen, using the operat-
ing elements on the device or using the buttons on the multi-function 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.
CAUTION■
Depending on the type of the connected external device and the frequency
of use, the charging current may not be sufficient to charge the battery of the
connected device.■
To establish the connection, it is necessary that the date and time in the de-
vice 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 device screen, and in the phone display. These messages must be ob-
served 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“”.
