ABS long code needed
If it's a Skoda dealer, then they should be able to use ODIS to recode the module automagically using the VAG online servers to generate the code. Replacing the module won't help unless it's actually faulty... It would still need coding as above too It might be possible to create a code for it but we would need a full unedited autoscan to get an idea of how the car is configured etc.

Fuse size question front 12V socket
At a guess, it'll be a standard or mini blade fuse... Couple of images that might help:

Antifreeze/coolant?
If the car had no coolant/antifreeze then it would over heat very very quickly and destroy the engine.... If you want to check the level, then look at the coolant tank, circled in red below:

Please help with a very frustrating intermittent fault
It'll depend on the fault code. Most modules in the car won't automatically clear a fault code when it's been resolved. Instead, it will stay but flagged as either intermittent or inactive. For example, a dealer updated the software for my steering rack under warranty. After the update, I had faults in 6 different modules caused by the lack of comms with the steering rack during the update. All were shown as "Intermittent - Not Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear". If there's a fault code linked to this issue, I'd be very surprised if most scan tools didn't show it. Where are you in the world, might be worth asking a local VCDS owner to do a quick scan after it's occurred

Auto lights high beam assist useless
As PetrolDave mentions, lowline (address 20) and highline (address 5F) camera's are completely different so it's not a simple replacement. Just to add some more context... Lowline (J844): Highline (R242): The highline version typically needs a replacement windscreen as the mount it very different: They have different connectors, the highline has a heater and may require a second CAN-bus connection depending on equipment Not a plug and play change I'm afraid...

Air filter **** up
Indeed, the last letter can be revision but it's used to denote different parts too. I certainly wouldn't rely on 'bigger letter means the same but newer' as some folk suggest At least in this case, it's just an air filter so it's not a massively expensive mistake to make...

Air filter **** up
They have different part numbers, why would you expect them to be the same...? 😕 I'd send the wrong one back and buy the correct part 👍

Updating Columbus Maps with no SD slot! 2021 Superb (Scout)
Pretty sure you have a MK4 so map updates are over the air now I'll ask a mod to move your thread. edit: Sorry, MIB3 rather than MIB2/2.5. Still, maps are now OTA as I mentioned

Trip to france
The only reason you can't fit chains is a lack of inner clearance so they might hit various suspension components. Take a look at the Konig K-Summit chains K34 as they will fit 235/40 R19's and don't need any inner clearance There might be some other brands that offer something similar too...

Auto lights high beam assist useless
It's not the same sensor... Take a look at this: The part in red is the rain light sensor (RLS), this is used for auto wipers and auto low/dipped beams. Your Superb probably has this... The part in yellow is the high beam assist camera and is used for auto high/main beams, your Superb doesn't have this

From Swing To Columbus
Part of your problem is that the Swing is an 'all in one' unit, whereas, the Bolero, Amundsen and Columbus are all split in to the 'display' and 'brain', the latter is located above the glovebox. You'll need to extend the wiring from behind the screen to the glovebox and add a few extra wires to power/drive the display. You'll probably also need a new trim piece in around the glovebox too. Here's an example of the kind of wiring you'll need, other (cheaper?) sellers are available and this may not fit your car: https://eurozonetuning.com/products/quadralock-wiring-harness-for-discover-pro-retrofit To get it working properly, you'll need CP matching (a dealer can do this) and also the FeC/SWaP codes adding (a dealer cannot do this) so you'll need to look for hacked units where CP has been removed and all features have been activated. Might be worth asking @pab567 to see what he's got in stock

That's because it was never a factory option and no superb left the factory with the correct hardware for auto high beams 😉 It is possible to retrofit a high beam assist camera but the rain light sensor is not capable of hba...

Plate Rear light coding via vcds
Welcome Why on earth would you want the number plate lights to blink with the indicators? It makes it look like the car has massive electrical issues! Anyway, as always, I'd suggest you start by posting a full autoscan from VCDS and an adaption map from 09...

ACC calibration procedure with VCDS
The large top section with the black and white circles is for the visual lane assist camera. The lower white section is basically a metal plate, that's used for the ACC radar systems They just happen to be on the same rig.

ACC calibration procedure with VCDS
The calibration target looks like this, it's the bottom white bit that's used for ACC: I don't think it's a simple process though, this page might help: https://www.audi4ever.com/blog/eintrag/25254-acc-calibration-adaptive-cruise-control-a4-a5-q5-distronic/ Assuming your VCDS is genuine, it might be worth asking Rosstech with an autoscan of your vehicle Random youtube clip for a 3rd party tool:

Wiring diagram for a 2015 Octavia RS with Harman MIB II Main Unit
No obvious source for a remote wire, the headunit isn't linked to the switched ignition so you might get 'booms' occasionally. If you're lucky, the amp might be able to turn on/off when it detects signa. If not, there are plenty of high to low level adaptors which create a remote signal when they detect audio.

Wiring diagram for a 2015 Octavia RS with Harman MIB II Main Unit
It's a standard Skoda/VW spec 52 pin quadlock so the pinout will be similar to this image: What wires are you trying to find? As you have Canton fitted, all the speakers will be connected to the Canton amp (under a front seat?) rather via the quadlock. Audio is transfer from the headunit to the amp via the optical MOST fibre which is why the speaker connections are empty in your picture There is no 'remote' cable either as the amp will be CAN-bus controlled.

Coding for Retrofit mirrors
I think it's a full kit. The main wire will go between the rear view mirror and both doors. The two smaller wires will go inside the door between the door loom connector and door controller. I think you get some instructions from Kufatec once you've bought it.

Diagnostic error message
I don't think the CAN gateway was inactive... If it was you wouldn't be able to read any codes from it and the car would have loads of waring lights/errors showing. It's more likely to be an intermittent fault so when the scan was done, it saying the fault has happened previously but is currently fine. Therefore it's reporting the fault as 'inactive'. I think VCDS would report this as: 66052 - Infotainment CAN Bus (SAE Bus E) U0065 00 [008] - Performance [Globaler Timeout CAN-Infotainment] Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear Which suggests a module on the infotainment CAN bus wasn't happy for some reason, that could be a wiring issue, loose connector or even a failing module. I'd probably clear the code and see if it comes back
