SmartLink - MY16 SE Spaceback - Hardware or firmeware ?

 

Just realised missed a trick with not adding Smartlink on the SB.

 

To enable this, is it a hardware update or can it be done via software ?

 

Thanks -

 

 

 

As SmartLink is standard on everything except the S, I assume you mean SmartGate?

It's a little box not much bigger than a matchbox which, if I remember right, plugs into a socket under the driver's seat.

No tools needed and no software needed in the vehicle. It's accessed by your phone/tablet by downloading Škoda's free app.

Can the box be purchased after the fact?

My opinion is that EUR200 is too much. As suggested, get an ELM327 adapter from ebay for EUR15 and do the same things and more.

Thanks eyegr,

In was looking at smart link / mirror link rather than smart gate.

Ie.. The one which links up mobile phone display

If you have a postFL car, it is a software thing. However, it seems that you must buy a license for SmartLink (which includes licenses from Apple, Android etc) and VW AG can only install this license at the factory. I believe that soon it will be given as a dealer option also. Rather expensive (~EUR200), but an option.
