Hi everyone,

I wanted to share some details about my infotainment unit and ask for your insights. I'm a software developer and currently exploring how to enable MirrorLink on my Škoda system – but I’ve hit a roadblock: it seems I need access to the green engineering menu first.

📟 My Unit Info:

Version: MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P7130L

MU version:8395

Menu Access: I currently have access to the Engineering Testmode (accessible through hidden menus).

💻 My Goal:

I’m hoping to unlock or activate MirrorLink so I can test and use smartphone integration features more freely. From what I’ve read, enabling MirrorLink

❓My Question:

Is there a way to enable:

The green engineering menu

The MirrorLink feature

WITHOUT using OBDeleven, VCDS, or VCP?

Thanks in advance,

You need a way to access the infotainment and change a flag that allows you to enter the GEM.

So AFAIK, no. You need to access the car's OBD. I did it with veepeak obd2 dongle and carscanner app on android.

That's about 30 quid on amazon and you'll be able to read other faults if it happens to your car and also mod some functionalities.

Obd11 is probably more user friendly but also more expensive.

Do you mean the Development mode?

GEM = green engineering menu
