SmartGate is a system that transmits certain driving data (such as fuel con-
sumption, speed or similar) via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.
The ŠKODA applications installed in a supported external device (e.g. tele-
phone, tablet) give the option to further transmit the received data.
Some ŠKODA applications can be displayed on the Infotainment screen using a
SmartLinkconnection» page 165.
