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 In-
fotainment using an application in the external device (e.g. ŠKODA Media
Command).
The requirement for the WLAN function is the ignition is switched on. After
switching on the ignition, the last-used WLAN connection appears.
It is possible to connect up to 8 external devices on 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 service in the external module of Info-
tainment Columbus or there is a connection to the telephone via Blue-
tooth ®
profile RSAP, the external device cannot be connected to the hotspot.

SmartLink
Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero.
Fig. 217
Information on SmartLink on the
ŠKODA websites
Read in the QR code » Fig. 217orenter the following address in the web brows-
er to open the website with information on the SmartLink communication sys-
tem.
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 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 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 not
possible or only limited.
Depending on model of the connected external device, some applications can
be started using the 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.
CAUTION
To establish the connection, it is necessary for the date and time in Infotain-
ment to be set correctly. If the date and time setting is based on the GPS sig-
nal, 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 telephone 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 for the connected external de-
vice to be unlocked over the entire duration of the connection for trouble-free
functioning of the SmartLink function“”.

phone connection via Bluetooth ®
as a main telephone. Connecting an addition-
al telephone using the telephone services of the SIM card inserted in the ex-
ternal module is not possible over the duration of the connection. A possible
data connection using the SIM card inserted in the external module remains
