Both the systems offer wireless SmartLink technology that enables smartphone integration. From the Ambition variant onwards, users can access a comprehensive range of mySKODA Connect mobile online services and also, download a navigation function for the premium infotainment system from Skoda Play App. The mySKODA Connect will help with details such as – vehicle information, driving data (including statistics on completed journeys with actual costs), route tracking and the estimated time of arrival, provided the offline navigation function has been downloaded from the SKODA Play app store.

The Active variant gets a seven-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth functionality for hands-free phone calls.

The MySKODA Connect app will also help in displaying vehicle locations in real-time or a walking route to where it is parked. A smartphone can be used to find the petrol station or ask for a vehicle health report, as the device will automatically store important data every time the ignition is turned off. The owners can also opt to receive speeding notifications if the vehicle is outside the specified area or may have been stolen. The system is also capable of contacting the helpline in case of an accident and will also send out an SMS with the vehicle location to the emergency contact.
