Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the passen-
ger compartment.
To connect a telephone with the device, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The coupling procedure depends on the number of telephones that are already
connected » page 31, Possible connection types .
Up to 20 external devices can be paired with the device. After reaching the
maximum number, the pairing of the next external device will replace that of
the device that has not been used for the longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require coupling.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been coupled in the list of coupled
phones and make the connection.
WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to the device only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of accident!

Hotspot (WLAN) and data connection
Hotspot (WLAN)
Introduction to the subject
Applies to Amundsen (does not apply to Yeti).
WLAN can be used to connect to the Internet, to playback audio files in the menu media or for operating the device 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 device hotspot and at
the same time to connect the device to the Hotspot of other external devices.

Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
Fig. 42
Information on SmartLink on the
ŠKODA websites
Read in the QR code » Fig. 42using 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“”.
