Android Auto - Skoda A7 Octavia Owner's Manual

CAUTION
To establish the connection, it is necessary that the date and time in Infotain-
ment 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 Infotainment screen, and in the phone 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 Acces-
■
sories.
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.
