You might want to add which year you have or at least if it's a pre-facelift or facelift model. Anyways, youtube suggests: Or:

Updating Amundsen Nav II Maps
@sneznymuz give it time, they've just released maps for the other headunits so I'd expect them in the next few weeks. As for the dates, they've always been wrong. Looking back at my VCDS scans: - ECE1 2019/20 --- 1115 (released end 2018) - ECE AS 2020 --- 1310 (released mid 2019) - ECE AS 20/21 --- 1430 (released end 2019) Based on that, the CW45 2019 maps have always been shown as 2020/21 and are not the same as the ECE 2020 maps you currently have installed.

Series 2 Octavia Scout TDI Turbo replacement CFHC engine :(
You have a slightly different ECU in your CFHC. Stock flash files for 03L 906 018 DA include 9815, 9977, 9978 and 9979. Skoda might take you to 9979 but I'd be more tempted to find a tuner or VCP/ODIS user to try and rollback to 9815 assuming the fix isn't madatory in Australia. If the former will do it for free, I'd try that first as a zero cost/low risk option. A genuine hex-v2 is probably your best bet and there are a list of distributors here: https://www.ross-tech.com/distributors.php Not too sure what's would be helpful to log but if you or your mechanic needed a base line it's something I can try and help with

Columbus Sales & Repair.
I think 8207 are known as V8 from around 2014/2015? Some sites claim the latest Aus/NZ version is V13 although they are pretty expensive and I expect a dealer may be even more.

How to change the displayed unit for additional TPMS?
It feels like you haven't coded it in correctly yet as I would expect that menu option to change the units. Probably worth adding an autoscan and adaption maps for the TPMS and 5F modules. I'm not sure if many people here will know the answer so assuming you have a genuine VCDS lead, I'd post the question on rosstech forum too :)

Octavia MK2 FL VRS LED DRL not dimming & blinding others during night time
Bit of terminology (specific to the MK2 FL vRS): - DRL will be the LED bars at full brightness - sidelights will be the LED bars at reduced brightness - dipped beam or low beam are 'normal' night time driving lights (provided by the xenons) - main beam or high beam or full beam are only for use when theres no oncoming traffic (provided by the halogen H1's) People use different names for the low/high beam settings which is why things often get confused. Your headlight switch probably has: - off - auto (depending on equipment level) - sidelights - dipped headlights If the DRL isn't dropping in brightness when you turn the light switch into the sidelight or dipped beam position, something is wrong.

XENON LIGHTS WITH AFS II
That's probably good enough. Obviously it's best to pop to a garage with headlight alignment tools as there is nothing to say they are currently correct

XENON LIGHTS WITH AFS II
@Phil-E - Stock behaviour is AFSI only but AFSII can be activated in most cases. From when I did it:

Octavia MK2 FL VRS LED DRL not dimming & blinding others during night time
I was more interested to see the coding as well as any errors that might be there. There are a few things that might upset the DRL but it's a good start to compare your coding to other similar cars to start. If that doesn't show any clear clues, then it's very likely to be byte 18 that's been messed with :)

Octavia MK2 FL VRS LED DRL not dimming & blinding others during night time
You might want to post a full autoscan from VCDS so we can check for any obvious causes. It's quite possible someone has messed with byte 18 and screwed the lighting config. If so, VCDS won't help and you'll need VCP or ODIS-e to restore the stock config.

Is someone using "counteract tire balancing beads" pearls in their tires? Experiences?
I don't use them nor would I. If there were any better than normal balancing or did help fuel usage, I'd expect to see tyre fitters or car makers using them. If they are happy to try and sell me nitrogen to fill my tyres, throwing a few glass beads in seems like easy profit! Everything on the testing page is in relation to trucks too :/

Electric folding wing mirrors retrofit (now with puddle lights when folded)
Just completed the above on my MK2 FL Elegnace and wanted to add what I'd learnt. Early FL Elegances came with electric folding as standard but this appears to have changed in around 2010. This means that my MY12 was missing them... It did however have puddle lighting and therefore the correct door modules to support folding mirrors: Address 42: Door Elect, Driver - Part No SW: 1T0 959 701 AA Address 52: Door Elect, Pass. - Part No SW: 1T0 959 702 S If your FL Octavia has the above modules all you need is wing mirrors (with electric motors) and a mirror switch with the folding position. A passenger side mirror came up on eBay with a memory module for reverse dip. Fitting was easy enough: - Remove door card (maybe four screws?) - Remove trim behind the mirror - Disconnect mirror loom and undo one screw to release the mirror from the door - Fit new mirror! - Recode the door module for folding mirrors (if reverse dip is also being fitted, the BCM also needs coding) - Check it works (VCDS output test) - Reassemble the door Sourcing a drivers side mirror was proving much harder and the dealer price is ~£240. Fortunately, Eddie-NL came to the rescue as he had a spare LHD passenger mirror (with motor) which is the same side as a RHD drivers mirror that I needed. This presented it's own problems as the angles are different to accommodate the differing drivers positions in RHD or LHD cars. Stripping both mirrors down and removing the circlips showed a simple solution. The base which attach the mirror to the car set the angle so by swapping the LHD base with the RHD base from my car all was good. I've attached a couple of pictures to show the differences between passenger/drivers bases and motorised/manual folding mechanisms. Just as a word of warning, removing the circlips can be quite a task, even more so on the manual version as the spring fitted is much stronger. With the help of a vice and patience it is possible to get them out and back in again. Fitting the drivers side was pretty much the same as the passengers side with a couple of extra screws. To get it working from the remote I needed to redo the min/max limits for all windows and fold/unfold the mirrors a couple of times with the engine running. The final issue was that the puddle lights did not illuminate when the mirrors were folded (worked normally when unfolded).Turns out this is part of the door mirror EEPROM and can be changed via ODIS-e or VCP (not VCDS). It's a ten minute job to reprogram the two door modules and now I have puddle lights regardless of mirror position. I have no idea what the stock behaviour is so if anyone with factory fitted electric folding mirrors with puddle lights can let me know the stock behaviour that would be great! Bases: Mirror castings:
