ing connection types:

Mobile devices can be used to install applications

that allow you to view additional information on the

Infotainment screen, or to operate the Infotainment

system.

Android Auto

MirrorLink

Due to the variety of applications, as well as their on-

going development, the available applications may

not function on all mobile devices. ŠKODA AUTO as-

sumes no liability for their proper functioning.

Mobile devices can be connected to the Infotain-

ment via USB cable or Wi-Fi, as long as the mobile
