may 2015 columbus -

what do i have to do to get mirror link and skoda connect? - website says "The VIN you entered has no ŠKODA Connect services."

Take it to a dealer who will charge you around £135 for enabling it is the only way I'm afraid.

Skoda connect is only for the facelift cars built this year afaik.

Jerbear is right, smartlink can be enabled by a dealer. 

Whether it's worth it on a columbus? You already have nav, bluetooth or sd card for music. 

I think that May 2015 is going to be MIB1 and most likely it cannot be enabled...

...but confirm with your dealer.

MirrorLink it pathetic - only a handful of apps support it and it is very slow in operation.

 

Android Auto seems a bit better and, when they get Waze as an option for Navigation, it will be quite cool.
