Tyre size for Skoda Octavia L&H 2011 model
For 7Jx17” rims, the correct tyre should be 225/45 R17 91W. As for the tyre brand and model, everyone will have their own opinion and it'll depend on your driving style... I expect any decent branded tyres will be fine. As you're in the North, you might want to consider all-season tyres such as crossclimates. You'll lose some Summer performance but they'll be better in Winter

This is probably an old topic. SD card for my vehicle
The part number looks to be a MIB1 Bolero so no smartlink or Android Auto support. If we see a picture of the satnav interface we'll have a better idea what's fitted

Myskoda App
At least for me, it used to be available via AndroidAuto but then Skoda did some big changes/updates to unify their apps and it's never worked since... I'm hoping a future update fixes it as the Skoda app is useless at the moment.

OBD Eleven Fault code U101900 and weird date stamp
Some ECU's don't really have the concept of a timestamp so it's often wrong.

Yup, that looks like a Bolero as it only has one SD card slot. A navigation unit would have two SD card slots. As I mentioned earlier, there is a good chance it's an aftermarket satnav that's been fitted Possibly something like a Kenwood GVN-MIB1 as that would keep the original display and only take over for nav functions.

Replace Head Unit With Larger Screen
On a 2018 car, I think you have a MIB2.5 Bolero so the logical option would be a MIB2.5 Amundsen to keep your screen. The MIB2.5 Columbus would need a new larger screen. You will also need to deal with component protection, FeC/SWaP codes and coding the replacement unit. Have you checked the map coverage for Albania as I believe there is only partial coverage of that region. I would suggest contacting @pab567 and see what your options are.

Aftermarket wiring
If you use that argument, every single wire would be the same colour which is certainly not the case...

Amundsen MIB1.

Aftermarket wiring
Madness, maybe the Yeti designers just gave up when they got to the tailgate wiring Looks like the OE numbers are 5L6971147 A/B/C (depending on year) and the ones I found pictures of are indeed white wiring. I'll have to hunt down a WD for the Yeti next time I'm on erwin to see if it matches...

Aftermarket wiring
Really? The wiring diagrams specify both size and colour for every wire in the car and are updated for each model year. As of yet, I've not seen a discrepancy and certainly never seen a bunch of identical coloured wires like the OP's picture.

Pretty sure the 5E0035842A part number is for a Bolero which doesn't support satnav. I wonder if there is some aftermarket nav kit fitted. Any chance of a picture showing the interface once it's in satnav mode?
-

The PO probably changed the screen at some point. Any chance of taking the second picture again, it's so blurry it's unreadable

VCDS options on Superb III
Just to add to @Ivan8192 post, if you have 'auto' ambient lighting modes where it changes colour based on driving mode, you should also check and update the "Ambientelicht Zuordnung der Farbe zum Fahrprofil-Fahrprofil" adaption channels too Other than that, you might need to set a WSC and importer and equipment number on this screen if you haven't already.

Importing 2011 Yeti from Europe - any guidance on the speedometer and foglights?
Exactly that As I say, I'd check the icon layout matches your existing facia as they can change over the years. I've use a cheap CH341a (£5-10) to read/write cluster EEPROMs with great success. With a testclip, it can be done without removing the chip from the PCB although it can be tricky to get a good contact. More than happy to take a look if I'm about when you're next over

Erm... Both are from this thread Might be worth seeing the the OP's old KPH facia's are correct for your Yeti by checking the warning icon layout. If so, you might be able to sort both at the same time

Reverse camera install help
Might be contacting the seller, I'm not sure if the sinosmart cameras support coding or not. They are a bit weird as they seem to automatically recode other modules when they are fitted which scares me... When I fitted my OEM one, I had to apply the following changes so it could be worth checking them if you have access to VCDS/OBDeleven: Coding was super easy: - Address 19, add 6C to the installation list - Address 10, coding, tick byte 2 bit 4 - Address 5F, adaptions, change Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-VPS_0x0B to "activated" - Address 5F, adaptions, change Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-VPS_0x0B_msg_bus to "Infotainment data bus"

Reverse camera install help
Parking sensor button should look like this: I'm not sure how the Chinese (I think that's what you have?) cameras decide to turn on/off.

Reverse camera install help
If you have front+rear sensors, hitting the parking sensor button should turn the camera on. At least it does with my OEM highline version

Installing subwoofer & Amp on 2021 Skoda Octavia
I can't find any pictures or info about 5E3035874 on google. Guess you need to remove it and see what you're dealing with Might be worth buying some time to access https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/erwin/ as that's the official source for workshop manuals. It should help you find out where it's likely to be and how to remove any trim to get access.

Light upgrade
I've no idea on costs, it's not something I've looked into on a MK3 as I already have LED front and rear on my vRS. Just did a cursory google for you, check before you buy anything and I expect other suppliers are available. For the rears, I'm not 100%, but I think you'll need adaptors something like these which are ~€70. You can probably make some for less: - hatchback: https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/tail-lights-3/led-tail-light-adapters-from-octavia/ - estate: https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/tail-lights-3/led-tail-light-adapters-from-octavia-2/ Obviously you'll also need to find someone who can recode the car for you too as a dealer is unlikely to want to help. Fronts are much harder -one possible loom is €165 https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/xenon-led-ballasts-8/autolevel-o3-full-led-wiring-harness/. - modules are probably around €250-300 from that supplier but I'm not sure exactly sure which you need - you might to replace other modules like the CAN gateway or BCM depending what's currently fitted - no idea about washer jets, maybe €100-300? Most of the module costs will depend on if you can find the correct used versions or if you end up buying new then having them parameterised for your car. If you're serious about the headlights, I'd suggest you buy some time on https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/erwin/ to get the factory wiring diagrams.

Wrong mileage- should I contact dealer
Yes, it's currently in miles but may have been in km when sold. I think the OP is worried if they take the car in for any work or warranty repairs, the odometer may read less than when sold. The seller may accuse them of clocking it etc. Not sure if there is any paper trail for the car yet but if there is, that could also raise similar questions when they sell it.
