Skoda 000051409F Surfstick Carstick LTE Connect, only for Amundsen navigation system (Gen. 2)

Product Information

For example when navigating, you can have the map in front of the driver and the directions on the centre screen, or you can have the map on the centre screen and the directions in front of the driver, it's very slick indeed and especially helpful if you're driving solo to somewhere new. I'm also showing mobile speed cameras but have no idea how that works as surely this doesn't work in real time? So i need to get a 'carstick' I presume, but then that would use up my USB port, may as well us my phone as the hot spot in the first place! You can tether it when you plug it in to the USB port (with hotspot on and discoverable) and it will connect and continue working after you unplug.

I regard the built-in display as very dangerous because I have to look down and take my eyes completely off the road. The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA. This is much safer as I can glance at the TomTom whilst keeping the road ahead within my field of vision. I'm driving the vRS to work tomorrow so I'll carry on experimenting to try and confirm these methods. I was under the impression that Car Net would be the equivalent of my old Tom Tom, which gave excellent live traffic updates for the road I was driving along.In conclusion to help you further I would have to check if Guide and Inform work without physical connection by USB. Which mostly works OK, but it does require me to drive about to settle on a decent 4G signal, which isn't always that easy if I am in the middle of the countryside or whatever. I thought I would share my experience of fully learning the infotainment system in my 67 plate GTi, which I bought in November. However I have used this dongle in other devices and it has worked fine so the supplier said it must be the car's USB connection. I have a new Skoda Octavia purchased in September 2017 which has an Amundsden Sat Nav installed and in the handbook it refers to a USB Car Stick which I thought was just a standard dongle in which you put a data SIM card to allow connection to the Internet from the car without using your phone.

Considering that the antenna for these frequencies is tiny I can't see how the vehicle body would make any difference, I think you would find that any MiFi unit would work just as well and give you 4G, albeit without any integration. I think tethering via cable will also work as at some point yesterday, the globe was white but it didn't say WLAN next to it, and it still worked (this was with hotspotting turned off, because I was also using car play to try and get the OneSkoda app working, but more of that on a different thread. compared to my phone there is always a better signal showing on the carstick, but for some reasomn it only shows the 3G signal not 4G but never had a problem with it . If you don't have the discovery nav you can still just use the mini wi-fi router to create a network without having to go through the head unit. I knew that the car relied on an external WiFi source for the Skoda Connected to work on the latest Amundsen.For some reason I believe the car stick arrangement does not work in this country doe to network differences, although I'm unsure of the details. With car play (or Android auto) you lose functionality on the instrument panel in front of the driver. Yes - iPhone is mobile Wi-fi router when connected via its Personal Hotspot to DNS as a wi-fi client. I gave up with the Skoda Car stick did not appear to work that well and I could not connect my phone to it.

I hope this will help anyone else with this Issue: I have a 2017 Octavia Combi 230VRS with Amundsen media player and Infotainment online.The Car Stick is supposed to plug into the USB port by gear stick and will then share the connection with the head unit and allow for the car to become a Wi-fi hotspot. There was some uncertainty about whether you can tether the Virgin sim, but I've had 3 devices at once connected to it and had no connection issues, but it is painfully slow for browsing and streaming is almost impossible. I've tried various servers, always the same speed results, crap on Carstick and great on the Huawei. The difference to any other dongle is that the car stick uses the van or something in it as an attenanae so the cellular signal is stronger and more reliable . As an aside I tried a Samsung Galaxy for two years and at first it was ok but battery life and other irritations made me jump back to Apple with great relief.
