Hello,

I have never had a smartphone so never used the `Title tech`.

I've had the car for nearly 2 years so I may be changing soon.

A prospective buyer will probable want to know if it has it. 

So, does anyone know for sure if my car has it or alternatively is there something in/on the car that will tell me?

 

Many thanks for any help.

The owners manual should tell you if it was possible to connect mobile phones that way, and if so how you would go about it. So if you look for the appropriate settings in the menu system you should get the answer I think.

Thank you so much for the suggestion.

I've trawled through the manual and through the car menus all to no avail. 

Hopefully a prospective buyer will be savvy enough to know one way or the other.

You have a marked advantage over us. You at least know what car you drive...

Hello, `Rustynuts`.

You wont remember but you have helped me out in the past for which I thank you again now.

Now, I've been told that the reason you don't know what car I'm referring to might be because you are using a smartphone and therefore you cannot see my details to the left.

If that is the case I'm sorry. I have never had a smartphone so am unaware of their shortcomings.

My car is a 19 Reg Superb 1.5 TSI DSG.

Have a lovely day.

Regards

Mike.

I would expect a '19 plate car to have Smartlink+ with both AndroidAuto and Apple CarPlay enabled...

 

If you press the 'App' button on the radio, both should be shown and it'll ask you to connect a device.

Hello, `Langers`,

Thank you for your reply.

Just been out to the car to check. 

Under the `Radio` button I have `DAB`, `Station List`, `Manual` (whatever that is!), `View` and `Settings` but no `App` button.

There are loads of other buttons which mean little to me but I pressed them anyway. At one stage I did see mention `Mirrorlink` so maybe I do have it!

Thanks again.

Regards

Mike.

It wont be within the 'Radio' sub-menu.

 

Do you have a 'Home' or 'Menu' button on the headunit?  (see below top left).  If so hit one of those and you should get something like the image below that shows 'Smartlink' (top row third from left)...

 

 

If you then hit the 'Smartlink' button you should get something like the following if you have Android Auto / Carplay / Mirrorlink:

 

 

I had assumed you would have a Bolero/Amundsen which look sorta like this with a physical 'App' button:

 

If instead you have a Columbus, it'll look like this:

If you press 'Menu' there should be a 'Smartlink' option which will show a screen like this:

Thank you, Langers.

Yeah it is Columbus that I have.

Just checked and pushing the `Smarklink` button brings up another screen with two options.

`Scandisc` or `Mirrorlink`.

No mention of Apple or Android.

So I'm going to assume that `Mirrorlink` and Apple / Android` are one in the same.

Thank you again.
