Needle sweep on Virtual Cockpit
I did it on my Superb II with analoque dials. Read somewhere it could be possible on digital. Not sure, keep digging.

Manual 4x4 Se. Any good without snow mode?
If you have off road option on your car, this is way better in snowy conditions than the snow mode itself. It also looses up all the driving aids and keeps revs higher to react immediately with gas pedal if needed.

Wireless Android Auto - Looking for Recommendation
As I already said, my AAW of the very first patch made works fine about 5 or 6 years already. And it still gets updates.

Yes, t Yes, that's the case, at least on mine and seems on yours too. Go for AAWireless. It's made in China, but developed and produced by a Swiss guy as a startup. Works flawlessly.

Tail Lights
When I activated the eyelashes I did also the taillights with daylights always on. Not sure it helps you, but you can just investigate further here. Also, not sure OBD11 can do everything. It misses a lot of functions. I coded with VCDS. But suit yourself. "Eyelashes" light up with daytime running lights STG 09 (Central Electrical) access authorization 31347 Adaptation Light 16BLK SLB35BLK SL KC9 Light function C17 Set to "daytime running light" Dimming value of CD 16 Set to "127" Luminaire 17TFL RLK SRB3TFL R BLK SR KC3 Light function C17 Set to "daytime running light" Dimming value CD 17 Set to "127” Taillights with LED daytime running lights STG 09 (Central Electrical) access authorization 31347 Adaptation Without license lighting in daytime running lights Light 23SL HLC10 Light functionC 23 Set to "daytime running light" Dimming value CD23 Set it to the same value as shown in the dimming value AB23 With license plate lighting and front light at daytime running lights STG 09 (Central Electrical) Adaptation Exterior light_front (before daytime running lights) continuous light activates additional light New value "active"

Battery change EFB or EFB+?
If you have a possibility to check the errors, do it. Mine is like a virgin girl, every time you disconnect the battery it needs to erase the fault codes, otherwise some functions like blind spot etc will not work properly.

Battery change EFB or EFB+?
I have written before here, but last year I replaced the battery with Exide. Battery guy coded the car with Exide dongle. Did not charge to full, lots of problems. Recoded myself with VCDS. Same story. Went to dealers, they recoded with ODIS (into some strange coding, never heard before of) and everything works fine since.

Battery change EFB or EFB+?
What I have read before in the net, that you still have to recode because the Battery Management System includes in calculations also the age and potential wear of the existing battery and charges accordingly.
-
Battery change EFB or EFB+?
Yes, you do. Otherwise the car wouldn't charge it to full. It knows it's 70 ah, but in fact it's larger. Actually you have to recode the battery even when swapping to exactly the same model / producer.

Wireless Android Auto - Looking for Recommendation
We don't know it yet. My Ottocast is fully packed, it's basically an Android mini computer. Mini Cube seems to be wireless dongle for AA only. Could work like any other. Let us know, when arrives.
-
Wireless Android Auto - Looking for Recommendation
Don't. I use Ottocast only for watching TV sometimes when wife is shopping or WRC+ during driving with friends. Ottocast uses Carplay protocol to connect to the headunit. AA becomes not a natural part of the infotainment, but as an app inside the app. More worse - your phone will connect to the car only via Ottocast and that's a mess.

What is normal Oil operating temperature range Skoda Kodiaq 2L 4x4 110KW 150BHP
110c is normal. Higher, don't know, haven't kept an eye on this.
-
Wireless Android Auto - Looking for Recommendation
It's just a bluetooth bridge between your phone and the headunit. No GPS. Better adapters have a price tag too. I have also a Ottocast P3 for 350 euros. I has all the whistles, but still no GPS.

Probably even better, meanings of the startup time. Mine takes about 20 sec. Still getting updates (install according app to your phone).

I have AAWireless first edition. Works perfectly.

Which MIB unit is fitted to my Kodiaq?
MIB 1 is a very old one, from 2013 as I read. You have definitely MIB 2,5 Columbus.

Broken door grab handle
I believe it can be fixed. Mine lasted a year or so, just got tired to deal with it.
-
Broken door grab handle
I managed to repair it first too with some screws. But at the end of the day it did not work out and I replaced thye whole cardboard. Cost something around 600 euros.

I am doing long runs - Central Europe and back, constantly.

Rear wiper blade replacement. 2023 Kodiaq VRS.
AP26 and AP21 are front wipers. Pre facelift models fit Bosch Rear A331H, but I've read somewhere, that facelift models have a different one. Not sure about this though.

So far: few flywheels one front spring both front drive axles (it is easier to change and almost the same price than only the ball joint) few sets of brake disks back camera Probably some stuff else, but cannot remember anything major.

Glow Plug Control Module J179
Bought this one for 61 euros: https://spareto.com/products/metzger-relay-glow-plug-system/0884010 It had number 457 on the back instead of 527 as original, but works just fine, no more faults anymore.
