Hi everyone,

First time here in a while, and the family has just acquired its 11th Skoda - my son has this morning picked up a beautiful 2023 Scala Monte Carlo on Moon White Metallic. It's gorgeous 😍.

Everything is great and his Apple Carplay works fine using a USB cable. Would / should wireless be available as well? Nothing obvious, and we've tried turning WLAN off and one- it's quite complex.

Any insight welcome. Thanks in advance.

Android Auto works wirelessly out of the box in my (second hand) 2021 SE L, so I'd be surprised if CarPlay shouldn't do the same in a newer, more highly-specced car.

Import Car?

Our 2025 Monte Carlo Edition has wireless Car Play / Android Auto, had to pair it with Bluetooth first to initiate the setup.

It can depend on the infotainment model fitted and probably the software version.

Both our previous Skoda's used the cable method but I bought an aawireless adaptor to allow Android Auto to work wirelessly.

Thanks for all the replies. It's definitely not an import and it also does precede the current "edition" model (a mark 2?)

No joy with wireless CarPlay yet, so my son has contacted Skoda support. Let's see what they have to say ...

Wireless Carplay / Android Auto is an optional feature. It may not be activated on your device. Activation costs approximately 80 euros. Contact your dealer.

Thanks again for all the responses. We finally contacted the right bit of Skoda - "Digital Support" which I think is actually over in CZ. They have said the Amundsen doesn't feature wireless CarPlay and it can't be added. Local dealer has also said the same. Although there do seem to be options with coding and using tools like OBDEleven, I think we'll probably just get a little adapter dongle for one of the USB C ports, much like we have in our older Karoq. Feels less hassle, cheaper and "safer" than running any risk of bricking the infotainment system.
