Carplay and Android Auto are connected by SmartLink...not Smartgate. WLAN and Hotspots are also not depending on Smartgate. If you have Smartgate (which is an optional extra) you would find a wifi in your car named "SmartgateXXXXX" where the Xs are numbers from you VIN number. Smartgate would allow you to connect to a few Skoda Apps and read data from your car. I installed it...and must admit that I am not really using it at all.

And the view to the home of the smartgate from the backseat

Í installed my Smartgate myself and it is very unhandy to get to under the drivers seat. To install the unit and wiring we had to remove the drivers seat, the trim on the footstep of the driver side, the footrest, the knee airbag and a warm air channel under the steering wheel.....and still it was one hell of a task to install the wiring. If you just need to unplug the Smartgate unit you would probably need to take out the drivers seat and you will find the unit behind the Canton amplifier. You may be able to get to it woth out taking out the seat but you would need to be extremely flexible :). In the picture you will see my car iwth out the front seat with a red marking where the Smartgate unit lives beneath the carpet.

The danish reseller also found it in a brochure....but they didn't know anything about it. I guess I will just forget about it and hope for a firmware upgrade

....and one of the local resellers tells me that Media Command is only for Columbus Infotainment? Anybody using it on the newest Amundsen? A lot of confusing opposing messages from Skoda and their resellers. Whish someone official could be more specific.

I have now communicated a little with the danish Skoda-importer. They tell me it is not possible to activate Media Command when the car has been delivered. Is this true or are they just trying to avoid to help me?

Hi guys, I just installed a Smartgate in my new Superb III Combi MY17 with Amundsen 8". Almost everything is working well and most apps are easily connected. But "Motorsound" App and "Media Command" App dos not seems to work. I can easily live without the motorsound app which is litlle pathetic to be honest, but the media command app was one of the reasons to install the SMartgate. I simply won't connect to my Amundsen on neither Smartgate wifi or the hotspot I have setup on the car. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? BTW: Installing af Smartgate is a h.... of a job.
