2017 Scout Sat Nav
I've never tried the onboard nav but a firmware update might help. Add a picture of your SW train to this thread and I'm sure someone will provide an update if appliable:

Update Posible?
There is probably a software update for your headunit, you can do this yourself once you have the update file. I'd suggest adding a picture of the SW train to this thread: And someone will drop you a PM with the latest version. As for other modules, there might be a few updates but there don't tend to be many. You'd need someone with the correct tools and files to do this for you. It might be worth having a VCDS autoscan or similar done to show any fault codes that maybe related

No power steering - Potential new rack??
I'm not convinced basic settings will fix this @J.R. These are indicative of a failed module: B200FF0 - INTERNAL FAILURE B2000F1 - ECU INTERNAL FAILURE This is likely a sympathy code due to the failed module: B1168F2 - STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR, NO INITIALIZATION I'd be grabbing a wiring diagram and confirming all power/ground connections are good and able to carry current. There are also plenty of update files for steering racks so there might be a TSB/TPI relating to your specific part number with an update with may help.

Changing lighter for usb connector
Just use an adaptor? They are cheap and easy to install/replace... For example: - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07XM7YGQ5 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09PDYY3C6 I'm sure a Spanish reseller will have something similar.

Octavia 3 FL high beam (H7 lamp) regulation
Yup, this is all the 05.2020 manual mentions: Certainly looking at various headlights on eBay, there are only two obvious white adjusters that I can see:

Octavia 3 FL high beam (H7 lamp) regulation
The S and SE look to get halogen headlights with LED DRL. SE L and upwards seem to get LED headlights 👍 Please read the previous comments again - it seems the low and high beam share the same adjustment screws so there is no separate adjustment for the high beam... There is certainly no mention of a separate high beam adjustment in the manuals I have.

Android head unit + Canton
On a MK3 Octavia, the audio connection between the headunit and canton amp uses MOST-bus. MOST-bus is based on fibre optics so it's pulses of light down plastic tubes The Android headunit will probably have high and low level outputs but I've never seen one with MOST-bus. You would need a 3rd party adaptor, for example this rather expensive convertor: https://www.kufatec.com/en/volkswagen/vw-golf/golf-7-5q/headunit-replacement-adapter-with-most-amplifier-dynaudio-canton-for-vw-golf-7-skoda-octavia-5e-41333

5Q0035840C Fault code 7237 U111100 "Function restriction due to missing message" - how to resolve it?
I have a genuine VCDS HEX-V2 and a cloned VAS5054a with both ODIS-s and ODIS-e. VCDS covers about 99% of my use. It's easier to search for error codes online and tends to give better information, there is also support from Rosstech and their community of users. I only use ODIS for things VCDS can't do, namely flashing updates, uploading parameter sets, accessing EEPROMS or calibration of certain modules. A genuine HEX-V2 3-VIN is around £225 but there must be some folk in Austria with genuine versions. I'm not sure if we get many on this forum...

Automatic light sensor!
That looks like it's still communicating so you should be able to get the original part number and coding from a saved autoscan. Just as a random example from a Golf: You can then recode the replacement after fitting

5Q0035840C Fault code 7237 U111100 "Function restriction due to missing message" - how to resolve it?
At a guess, something is mis-coded or another module is sad. Unfortunately the ODIS output isn't particularly google friendly - I'd suggest finding someone local with VCDS to take a look. For reference, the OP asked the same on drive2, adding a link in case it gets solved there first: https://www.drive2.ru/l/630192237359150475/

Boot close handle
At a guess - it might be this: https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/5e5827895a9b9-boot-handle-24644.html No sure if you have an estate or hatchback? I think that's for an estate but I'm not sure.

What model
Good question, quite a few options based on the info in your profile: - Model: Fabia octavia Nov 2013 1.6 tdi - Year: 2013 Given you've posted in the Octavia section, I assume it's an Octavia you're asking about? Looking at your old posts, you mention the VIN TMBKG7NE6E0070269 which would be a pre-FL MK3 Octavia,

Are H8 fog light bulbs the same as the ones used on headlights?
A H8 is a H8 regardless of which function it's used for If you look at the high k rated halogen bulbs, they tend to have a blue filter on the lens which reduces light output. Even with the filter, a 'blue' halogen doesn't come close to a xenon or LED in colour temperature. Instead, I would suggest grabbing a quality osram/philips bulb with a minimum of blue tinting and ignore all the 'brighter' 'whiter' 'X% further' claims...

Automatic light sensor!
The coding will probably be slightly different between models but you might find it works well enough without. Can you add your VCDS autoscan showing the codes and what modules are fitted?

Changing to auto-dip rear view mirror and moving it up windscreen
Heh yeah it's not cheap for such a small thing. If it's metal, there are a few adhesives that claim to be suitable for bonding glass/metal rear view mounts. Google certainly suggested a few!

CONNECTIVITY AND SATNAV FOR SKODA YETI OUTDOOR 2.0 CR SE BUSINESS 2015
The service history states it's a Yeti Outdoor SE and a 2015 brochure shows that model had a Bolero as standard. It appears to be ULEZ compliant based on the reg and descried as "Black SKODA YETI OUTDOOR SE TDI SCR". This is feeling like a listing mistake by the dealer. You can probably reject the car but I've no idea how hard that would be and you'd need to find a replacement...

CONNECTIVITY AND SATNAV FOR SKODA YETI OUTDOOR 2.0 CR SE BUSINESS 2015
Given the OP has said their headunit is asking for a Smartlink activation code, then it'll be a MIB style Bolero or Amundsen. It's easy to tell them apart: - the Bolero has one SD card slot to the left of the screen - the Amundsen has two SD card slots, one to each side If its the latter, then it'll just need an appropriate Skoda/VW SD card and I'd be pushing the dealer to provide it. The maps can be downloaded directly from Skoda

Seized Glow Plug - Cylinder 4
I didn't even try and remove them prior to the plusgas. Given the horror stories and that I wasn't in a rush, it didn't seem worth it. Car had ~120k miles and was 6 years old when I did it, plenty of time for them to have gotten stuck

Seized Glow Plug - Cylinder 4
When I did my glow plugs, I applied plusgas twice a day for about a week in advance. Both at night when the engine was cool and after a journey so the engine was hot. All four came out without issue 👍 They may have been free enough but it's certainly a low cost exercise to see if it helps.
