Airbag warning light on dash
It's not specific to "new" Skoda's, it's been the case for 15 or more years... My old MK2 Octavia would have done exactly the same when unplugging the airbag switch I'm not aware of any other method apart from removing the battery. Given the explosives in the airbag system, you should really be removing the battery and giving the system time to discharge before touching any airbag system related component...

Airbag warning light on dash
Removing the airbag switch with the battery connected will flag a fault. You'll need VCDS or similar diagnostic equipment to clear the fault code and which in turn will turn off the airbag light

Feeling unsafe in my octavia
I only recall this being mentioned once previously: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/511878-octavia-iii-randomly-braking-on-the-highway/ No clear resolution but the the last assumption was the brake disc drying system was causing it. Might be worth finding a local VCDS user to perform an autoscan and possibly turn it down or even off. It looks like there is a measuring block stating when it last activated so that's worth checking assuming you can replicate the problem on a rainy day @L_W hasn't been online for a while but hopefully they'll receive a notification I've mentioned them and let us know if they resolved it. edit: BDD is configured in 03 - ABS, adaption channel: IDE04456-Brake disk drying Mine is set to medium from factory. Likely related measuring blocks in 03 - ABS: IDE04456-IDE04775 Brake disk drying-Odometer reading of last activation IDE04456-MAS03095 Brake disk drying-Function status

Park assist retrofit possibility?
I believe you would need: - 4x extra sensors - a replacement parking controller - an extra button for self parking - wiring looms for all the above - factory wiring diagram to check the wiring looms are correctly fitted I'm not 100% but you might also need new rear wheel speed sensors but it'll depend whats fitted. This appears to be a kit for LHD models: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004523206436.html I assume a RHD would just need a different self-park button...

Installing Satnav
He basically said, if there is a 'Nav' button on the display, then it should have satnav fitted from factory. Obviously there is a chance someone has replaced the screen given it's a second hand car. If you can provide your cars VIN number, he'll check the build data to confirm if it should have satnav fitted or not What happens when you press the nav button?

Nephew broke light switch - based on a ticktock
It's the front and rear fogs. They are activated by pulling the switch out rather than anticlockwise. I'm sure your yeti has at least rear fog lamps which are also turned on by pulling the switch out 👍

Nephew broke light switch - based on a ticktock
Assuming it's not completely broken.... It's a push in and slight turn to the right, it'll then lock and pull out. Much like this around the 20s mark:

Amundsen MIB2 Firmware Update
The upgrade will have likely removed whatever component protection patch was installed. Downgrading is unlikely to help... You need to reapply a component protection patch along with any FEC unlocks etc required Might be worth speaking to whoever you got the headunit from, I'm not sure if it can be done remotely by @pab567 or not.

Infotainment Update
Skoda don't give out software updates and the latest maps will only update the maps. However, if you add your headunit details to this thread https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/477657-amundsen-mib2-firmware-update/ I'm sure someone will provide you with the latest 0480 update. Yup, you can enable the GEM (Green Engineering Menu) with VCDS/ODBeleven etc. There is no hardware support for wireless AA or CarPlay on this generation. A 3rd party adapter is the only option I'm afraid 😞

O2 vRS - Xenon Headlights from LHD to RHD Any adjustments ?
The shield is fixed - it cannot create a straight cut-off pattern. The halogen version has a moveable shield to flatten the cut off but this does not exist on the xenon version. You can see the fixed shield circled in red below.

O2 vRS - Xenon Headlights from LHD to RHD Any adjustments ?
At least on the FL MK2, LHD and RHD xenon's have different shields to create the cut off pattern, it's not possible to change this without taking the headlight apart to replace it....

Handbrake switch
Might be worth spending a few quid (€7 + tax) to get the workshop manuals from Skoda? Official source is https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/erwin/showHome.do

Poor cornering
No such issues with my '18 vRS. It has plenty of grip and feedback... I'd suggest having the tracking and suspension checked for anything obvious. Other than that, what tyres and pressures are you running?

Original Coding rear lights
Maybe start by posting an autoscan and an adaptation map from the bcm (09).

Repair or replace steering wheel buttons
As @ApertureS mentions, it probably just needs cleaning - I had to do mine recently. Not a hard job
-
Recovered Stolen car… now it gets hard..
That means the remote fob has been correctly paired with the car. It doesn't mean the immobiliser has been programmed correctly to start the engine

Is this roof bar fit close enough or nowhere near.
I'd suggest checking for a brand and seeing if they offer a foot pack for your car

TMC traffic events no longer being received...firmware update required?
I assume that's just a compiled version of this: https://github.com/lprot/MIB-Tools/blob/master/nds2sqlite.py If so, it's unable to convert Maps\V12\maps\00\nds\PRODUCT\E3\TI.NDS or Maps\V12\maps\00\nds\PRODUCT\E3\OVERALL.NDS stating "Coversion failed. The file is encrypted!". The PRODUCT.NDS and ROOT.NDS in the parent directories converted though

GENUINE SKODA AMUNDSEN 2nd MIB SAT NAVIGATION SD CARD UK
Although the Columbus can use any SD card, the Amundsen will only accept genuine cards or cards with the CID modified to match a genuine one

TMC traffic events no longer being received...firmware update required?
Had a very quick compare of the V12 and V18 maps, I think the important file is: - Maps\V12\maps\00\nds\PRODUCT\E3\TI.NDS That's because: - It's the only obvious file that got significantly smaller rather than larger - The E3 directory is only present in map packs including the UK - TI could easily stand for Traffic Information Unfortunately, based on info from the SEAT forums, it's not simple to replace files in the E* directories as they are protected by encrypted NDS files.

V12 from this thread: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/480367-amundsen-mib2-map-updates/ Seems VAG have deleted them from their servers which isn't too surprising.

TMC traffic events no longer being received...firmware update required?
As mentioned above, it's the older maps I'm hoping to find I tend to update to the latest version as soon as you announce them
-
TMC traffic events no longer being received...firmware update required?
Anyone got a link for the older MIB2 std (Amundsen) maps? Or can upload/send me a copy? Hoping it's just one DB that'll need moving over...

Rear interior plastic at seats
It should be easy enough to remove it, find the part number and replace it Snippets from the workshop manual are below, it mentions replacing the rear seat clips but I don't think I did when I removed this panel to run a rear view camera cable.
