Tablets, bluetooth and the infotainment

Featured Replies

Today I was using my tablet for navigation (no, I don't have the Skoda navigation package) and tried connecting the tablet to the infotainment system via Bluetooth.  It worked reasonably well, in so far as the audio came through the car speakers and the media / radio was muted when the navigation tablet wanted to say something.  But is there a way to get the tablet display also piped through to the infotainment system?  When I first connected the Bluetooth the tablet suggested downloading an app - I could not do that as I only allow the app store to use wifi, not the 4G.  I didn't note which app was suggested, and now I've looked they all seem to just access the driving data which I am not interested in.

I believe an iPad can be used for CarPlay, using USB cable connection. I haven’t tried it but did read about it online a week or two back.

 

If it works for an iPad, I wouldn’t be surprised if Android Auto works with tablets too.

If you use Waze and Android Auto,there should be a problem and you go into Android Auto and tweak the settings it should work correctly.

 

You can then choose what appears on the infotainment screen on the right hand side.

 

For me it's messaging, calls and something else
