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“”.

Android Auto
Introduction to the subject
The Android Autoconnection 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 connected to an external device via Android Auto then all the
telephones currently connected, as well as the Bluetooth ®
Players are discon-
nected.
The external device to be connected will automatically establish a new tele-
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
operational » page 175.
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 external devices, regions and applications that the Android Autocon-
nection supports can be found on the Google website. Functionality is not
guaranteed outside of the supported regions.
