Hi Leinad, Post your update soon using navigation for Andriod or Apple phone... mirrorlink is wast . i believe new RAPID releesed by end of december is with SmartLink. this supports most of the andriod, Apple phones.

Sujeeth, Leinad, doubt anyone from Skoda will respond as they are primarily box selling guys (they don’t know what is inside ) and not interested to listen to you at all… if you call Skoda support number they simply say contact dealer/ workshop... dealer is slightly better than Skoda but he too do trial and errors. Final conclusion that you can’t expect service & support from Skoda. I feel overall issues with complete system (skoda, dealer setup and process). May be we can send a note to Sr. officials of Skoda india. Looks to be no participation in this forum by Skoda. Best wishes to all. Thanks.

I feel Skoda should do anything to make this working than giving some excuse. Are we here to R&D on mirrorlink ? no, we just want to use google map apps.

Yes, i fully agree with you "mirrorlink" is useless connectivity software chose by skoda. I took my car two months before but this was loaded with mirrorlink , sales guys not informed about this availability of Smartlink ( not sure if is done purposefully ). I hope link Smartlink software can be upgraded with current infotainment system. let us wait for an update from Skoda.

During my visit to Skoda showroom sales person informed me that we can navigation apps Auto Andriod can be used but the only thing to be noted it supported for specific phones only. I trusted with sales team and booked CAR but later they were not able to show demo with supported mobiles..... this is a big frustration with Skoda... the team should have informed us before. I love the SKODA RAPID but because of this navigation feature is made me put down or rather unhappy. Today's world i could have gone to some other brand CAR. My question? what is fun is having so-called Mirrorlink connectivity which is not useful to anyone in the world? If you go to mirrorlink site all apps are half baked , non of the apps works fully. In Skoda, product browser says navigation or other apps supported... as I experienced infotainment system max we use for Radio, phone and USB. I strongly suggest to SKODA that either fix of mirrorlink support of popular applications or replace mirror link any other connectivity software. Skoda cannot walk away with simply dumping some useless "mirrorlink". connectivity software. The best part is that none of the SKODA team aware of this mirrorlink in details, but simply everyone talk about infotainment system ( supports all ). i hope by posting the issue someone will act on the same. Hopping with some solutions

Mirror link seems to be fine. But the only issue I notice that none of the papular apps doesn't work. Andriod Auto or Google map doesn't work.

No response from anyone...

New Rapid i am using. i am unable to configure mirrorlink . I have referred mirrorlink.com and purchased new Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) ,, this too not helping. Looks to be i am using proper apps. I would like to know what are the Andriod apps to be used with SKODA RAPID with Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017).
