Digital Speedometer on Skoda Rapid 2017
I'm not familiar with Rapid spec but there are two likely scenarios: - it's a base spec model without a multifunction display fitted so there are no buttons to control it - the stalks or steering wheel have been incorrectly replaced by a previous owner for buttonless versions I assume your display matches that on the right: You might be able to replace the stalks with the button variety but it'll likely need coding and possibly a new steering wheel controller.

Perhaps try contacting the manufactures of the AA BT convertors you're using. They might be able to help debug your issue

Sinosmart Rear view camera swing+
Please note it is a 5J0...A vs 5E0...B so may not be the same as your unit. That won't help if there is no video input on your headunit. Instead, you'd need something like this which can output directly to the screen: https://www.car-interface.com/vendita/en/interfaces-a-v-video-skoda/1552-video-interface-for-skoda-with-mib2-entry-radio-swing.html Even is that is compatible, given the price, you'd be much better retrofitting a new unit with camera support. That being said, your headunit *might* have the video chip based on this post on drive2 https://www.drive2.ru/c/581210093853345170/ The best/quickest way to check is to open your glovebox unit up and verify manually if the chip exists.

Sinosmart Rear view camera swing+
There are multiple versions of the Swing, some with video chips and some without. That camera and many others will work if the Swing has a video chip: I'm not sure if the 5E0 035 871 A has a video chip but you could check yourself by opening it up. Otherwise, Pab might know.

Sinosmart Rear view camera swing+
It depends if there is a video chip installed: https://www.drive2.ru/l/541345925398790379/ @pab567 might know which 5E0 035 871 versions are RVC compatible

SD card
That sounds like you have a Columbus. If so, I think you can perform the update with a 64GB USB stick or SD card. It doesn't need to be a Skoda specific card and the maps will be copied to the unit during the update. A 32GB might even be large enough Latest version is here:

Display driving data “since start”
Go to "Driving data" then "Overview" and by clicking the right roller, that should change from since start, since refuelling or long term.

@deepshegde - please spend some time and figure out how to perform a backup/export of all the adaption channels from 5F. If you can provide that, we might be able to see something that's wrong...

Update to HBA issue
I can only imagine Skoda are getting confused between high beam assist and matrix headlights.... I've never heard of high beam assist needing a specific headlight, all it does is turn the high/main beam on and off
-
Update to HBA issue
Based on your other threads, you have lane assist. Therefore, the camera is capable of high beam assist, it should just need activating. You don't need anything from Kufatec, you need to find someone local with VCDS or OBDeleven who can check what control modules you have and recode them. In this forum is both a map and a list of members who have VCDS. Based on you mentioning Cornwall, @PetrolDave is probably one of the closest to you...

Coolant light on 3m after service
Just for reference, this is all covered in the owners manual. If you have got one, you can download a copy from: https://manual.skoda-auto.com/210/en-GB/models That's not strictly true. The owners manual clearly states: "If water other than distilled (demineralised) water is used, then have the coolant replaced by a specialist garage - there is a risk of engine damage". If you haven't got distilled water, I'd still with my earlier recommendation of pre-mixed G12 evo from any VAG group dealer. Relevant section from a 2018 version:

Reversing Camera Retrofit
Indeed 😞 In this instance, it would appear 'vehicle specific' just means it will fit in the boot lid hole... Personally, I'm not a fan of the Chinese 'magic' kits like the Sinosmart. I don't trust anything that's recoding modules automatically and some folk have had issues with similar kits failing quite quickly. I would always recommend a genuine highline kit from a reputable seller. Yes it'll need coding but done right, it'll be identical to a factory installed kit. For example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003578483619.html Have a look at this thread for some ideas and pros/cons etc:

Coolant light on 3m after service
Yes! If it is loosing coolant then it'll likely overheat and possibly cause permanent engine damage... Coolant tank is circled below. Might be worth ringing local Skoda/Seat/VW/Audi dealers to see if anyone has some premixed G12 evo you can buy today.
-
Coolant light on 3m after service
The coolant light should never come on. Check the coolant level and top up with correctly mixed G12 Evo as required, if the level drops again you likely have a leak. When the AC is on it will dehumidify the air which aids in demisting 👍

Tracking & alignment
Plenty of places will do free alignment checks so it might be worth it for piece of mind.

Tracking & alignment
It depends if you have a rear beam or multi-link suspension at the rear Given the OP has a 4x4, that'll mean they get multi-link and the full range of adjustments.

Reversing Camera Retrofit
The link is for your order so only you can access it Still, at a guess you bought this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175161616367 If so, it'll probably work but.... - you will need to find someone with VCDS or similar to recode your car - the headunit doesn't have an RCA plug so you'll either need an adaptor or to chop it off to put the correct pins/connector on - it should be powered off the reverse lights but it'll likely have interference without a relay kit I'm also not sure what video format a MIB2 headunit expects, maybe someone else can confirm if it's correct.

High beam assist
I'd probably look for a local member and see if they can take a look first: - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/224376-vcds-owners-map/ - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262215-list-of-vcds-owners-previously-known-as-vag-com-vcp-owners/ Might help to find someone.

High beam assist
You mention you have lane assist in which case, someone with VCDS or similar can probably enable it for you. Without seeing an autoscan an adaption map from 09, it's hard to given any specifics

How to: Retrofit Virtual Cockpit
Pretty sure the first four adaption channels I mentioned should get the VC options to display on the headunit. At least it did for me

Infotainment Amundson to MIB2.5 any regrets
The following screens all run at the same resolution: - Amundsen MIB2 with buttons - Amundsen MIB2.5 with glass screen - Columbus MIB2 The only screen which is a higher resolution is the 9.2" MIB2.5 Columbus which requires a MIB2.5 Columbus to make it work. I've had no issues with scratching the glass screen on the MIB2.5 in my Octavia (factory fitted).

Digital Dash Customisation
At least on the generation the topic was started about, it should be easy. If I remember correctly... Select any view which allows you to select the middle, for example classic and go to "Driving data" then "Overview" which should look something like this: By clicking the right (?) roller, that should change from since start, since refuelling or long term. When you return to your favourite view, it should show the same data

Nice... The best option would be to reconnect your old cluster or power it up on a test bench to get the coding/adaptions. Otherwise, you can compare against some other Superb clusters coding and adaptions maps: - 2018 1.4 TSi: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/14800/ - 2018 2.0 TDi: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/13792/ Hopefully one is close enough to fix your issues - just make sure you note everything that you change
