Pairing and connecting

Introduction to the subject

To connect a telephone to the Infotainment system, the two devices must be

paired via Bluetooth

®

.

Depending on the Infotainment model, up to 20 external devices can be paired

with the device. After the maximum number is reached, the pairing of the next

external device will replace that of the device that has not been used for the

longest period of time.
Connection to an already paired telephone is established automatically after

the ignition is switched on. Or, it is sufficient to search for the phone in the list

of paired devices.
The range of the telephone connection to the Infotainment system is limited

to the passenger compartment.

Infotainment

Navigation

Introductory information

Navigation - function sequence

Applies to Infotainment Amundsen.

Route guidance is started as follows.

›

Find/enter a new destination or select one of the stored destinations.

›

Confirm the route calculation in the destination details or, if necessary, adjust

the route options.

›

Select the preferred route type, if this is requested by the Infotainment sys-

tem.

A route is calculated and route guidance starts.
The route guidance is provided by means of graphical driving recommenda-

tions and navigation announcements.
There is an option to add additional destinations during route guidance, or to

adapt the route.
If a traffic radio station is available, information concerning traffic delays is

evaluated by the Infotainment system and, if necessary, an alternative route is

offered.
If you deviate from the route, then a new route is calculated.

GPS satellite signal

Infotainment uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for

route guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-

nels, parking garages, etc.), the Infotainment system navigates only with re-

strictions, with the aid of vehicle sensors.
The Infotainment system offers the possibility off showing the following infor-

mation on the current geographical position of the vehicle and the satellite sig-

nal in the Position

Navigation data

Navigation data source

The navigation data is stored on an Original SD Card.
In order to ensure the function of the navigation, the Original SD card, with the

navigation data, must be inserted in the respective slot in the external module

» page 90

.

If the original SD card is damaged or lost, a new original SD card can be pur-

chased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
With a Non-original SD Card, navigation does not work.

Determining the version of the navigation data

›

In the main Navigation menu, tap the function surface  → Version information .

Updating the navigation data

We recommend that you update the navigation data on a regular basis.
The Infotainment can give incorrect driving recommendations if the road con-

dition or the traffic situation does not match the navigation data. This can lead

to route guidance being carried out using a different route or proposing a

change of direction in a one-way street. Therefore, observe the respective

traffic signs while driving, which always have priority over the driving recom-

mendations.
The information on updating the navigation data can be obtained from a

ŠKODA partner or on the following ŠKODA websites.
