Superb MkII doors do not lock or unlock, windows do not operate, no mirror controls.
Have you checked the fuse has power? Given you know the door module hasn't got power, it should be possible to trace the wire back to find the issue or just run a replacement to the fuse box...

DPF OBDeleven
There is no indication that a regen is taking place. You might notice a slightly higher idle or a drop in economy but that's it. It's fine to interrupt a regen, the ECU will continue if it needs to. As long as you're mostly doing journeys that are long enough to get everything up to temperature, it should be fine As for the data, soot is what the DPF catches. There is both a calculated (by the ECU) and measure (by the pressure sensors) level, when it's suitably high, it'll cause a regen to occur. The soot level will then reduce but there is residue left over, mostly from burning small amounts of oil, which becomes oil ash. This cannot be burnt off and will determine the lifespan of your DPF.

Exhaust
It's not unusual for exhausts have a small drainage hole to let water out. Cold exhausts will also cause condensation which shows as water dribbling out.

Pretty sure it only has mirrorlink...? Pab or Sasha will confirm

Bolero Change.
You'll need to add a GPS antenna, it'll connect to the unit that's in the glovebox. You can either use an aftermarket GPS puck or use a OEM sharkfin with an extension wire. If you just fit an Amundsen, nothing will work... You need to: - have component protection sorted - FEC/SWaP codes added - the headunit correctly coded for your car - possibly other modules coded - I think you also need to replace the USB socket for CarPlay/AndroidAuto too Just to point out, I think the part number you've linked (5E0035864A) is a MIB1 unit and might not support CarPlay. I think you'll need a MIB2 unit. If you haven't bought anything, I'd suggest contacting @pab567 as he supplies units and knows exactly what needs doing Good luck.

MFSW mk2 octavia retrofit
That style of steering module probably isn't correct for your car. There are three different, incompatible versions depending on when it was built. An autoscan will confirm which you need. If the buttons are correct for a Yeti, they are correct for a MK2 Octavia. Both need the same PQ style buttons I imaging the blanks can be removed but I've never tried so I can't be sure. I'm not sure that's the correct loom, I think it might be for a MK2 FL wheel rather than a MK3 style? I'm pretty sure the button connector is different. It might be 5JA971584 you need but I'm not 100%.

MFSW mk2 octavia retrofit
Erm, I don't think that wheel is correct for a Yeti or a MK2 Octavia... More correctly, the wheel will fit but I'm pretty sure it'll have MQB style buttons rather than the PQ style you need. No idea why the shocks should make any difference or the RS/Scout limitation. You might want to look at 5L0064241FKM instead as that is a Yeti part. If you haven't got a MFSW already, you almost certainly need to replace the steering controller as it's unlikely yours will support a MFSW. An autoscan should confirm.

If the DSG is in neutral, surely you can just spin the disc round?

Reverse camera install help
I removed the plastic grommet from the bodywork with a small screwdriver. It's easy to get the rubber gator back on and push the plastic grommet back in place afterwards 👍

Octavia III LED tail light retrofit shows fault codes
Do you have the adaption map from before your changes and also a current autoscan? Can you also update the latest VCDS version: https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/download/current.php

Can I use Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ or do I need VCDS?
As PetrolDave mentioned, it some extra hardware that connects to the buttons to press it for you. Random example that's probably correct for a Superb: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002491684461.html

Can I use Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ or do I need VCDS?
It seems to be this: https://www.veepeak.com/product/obdcheck-ble-plus/ Veepeak lists compactivity with Carista which in turn is suitable for a MK3 Superb: https://caristaapp.com/vehicles/skoda/superb/mk3 I've never used Carista so I'm not sure how user friendly or powerful it is. It's probably fine for checking error codes but I'd be wary of any automated coding changes. I don't think it's possible to 'reverse' stop/start but you may be able to disable it completely depending what year the Superb is. Most people seem to use a stop/start memory module that effectively presses the button for you

Retrofit Octavia IV steering wheel onto Octavia 3 (typ 5e)
It's not plug and play, various buttons won't work I'm afraid. You'll probably need a lin convertor as mentioned here: https://www.drive2.ru/l/581371172306813158/ And demo'ed in a Rapid here:

Superb MkII doors do not lock or unlock, windows do not operate, no mirror controls.
T20d/12 and T20e/12 are on the front door controllers. That means connector T20d pin 12 and T20e pin 12. There should only be one 20 pin connector on the door controller so it's easy to find pin 12 on each side. The 20 pin is labelled as connector D below: The Octavia WD I have isn't super helpful but you can see: - pin 12 on connector T20d/T20e is power - pin 19 on connector T20d/T20e is ground - pin 8/9 on connector T20d/T20e are CAN-bus IIRC, T20d/T20e pin 20 is also power but that's only used for the electric windows. Still worth checking though.

Short number plates fit? Mk3.5 vrs
There's more to number plates than just spacing and font these days. Take a look at INF104 taken from gov uk rules number plates. It states: Based on that, the short plates shown above aren't legal as they don't show any of that information. I doubt most Police officers would care but if they wanted to make an example of you, they could

Superb MkII doors do not lock or unlock, windows do not operate, no mirror controls.
The standout thing to me is that you've no communication with any door module: Address 42: Door Elect, Driver Cannot be reached Address 52: Door Elect, Pass. Cannot be reached Address 62: Door, Rear Left Cannot be reached Address 72: Door, Rear Right Cannot be reached It's somewhat unusual to lose all four so I'd be checking for common points of failure, ie power or CAN-bus. I haven't got a wiring diagram for a Superb but I'd replace the fuse and check the fusebox contacts are in good condition, it's probably called the 'central locking control module' and at least on a MK2 Octavia, it's fuse 12 (10A) in the dashboard end fuse panel. It's probably the same for a Superb but check If that makes no change, check the door modules are getting power on pins T20d/12 and T20e/12. There are separate fuses which feed the electric windows but I don't think they are needed for the modules to communicate. Pretty sure the rear modules aren't 'proper' modules so I'd be concentrating on the front modules for now. Once you've verified the modules have power (and ground), I'd then suspect either broken or shorted CAN-bus wires. They'll be harder to track down but the door gaiters are an obvious starting point. If there's nothing obvious, you should do a proper test of the wiring between the CAN gateway and the door modules. TBH, given there are no obvious faults in the CAN gateway about CAN-bus issues/shorts/1-wire mode etc, it feels like power is a more obvious fit. As for the other faults: - Address 05 and 09 are almost certainly a side-effect of the missing door modules - Address 08 are unlikely the cause or will help diagnose this, could be a side-effect - Address 19 is expected (radio/nav removed, door modules are sad) - Address 2E is expected as the radio/nav is removed - Address 47, check the tweeter and wiring to front right door - Address 6D no idea, could be a side-effect - Address 77 is also due to the radio/nav replacement

Reversing Camera Retrofit
Good luck! My only suggestion would be to check it works by connecting it in the front footwell before running the wires though the car etc

The original radio's don't have a feed to power camera's or similar...

Satnav update issue
Your Mac will hide the files as default so you won't see them. If you 'show all files', you might see things like: - .Spotlight-V100 - .Trashes - .fseventsd These are some of the files it's creating. You'll probably find they are in every folder on the SD card and just looking in a folder can cause them to regenerate

Reversing Camera Retrofit
That is a 'dumb' camera, there is no CAN-bus connection, moving lines or anything fancy. It'll spit out a video signal whenever it's got power. If you use it, you'll need to connect it to the reverse lights to turn it on/off. You'll probably need either a time delay relay or a signal filter to get it working properly
-
Satnav update issue
Or maybe Mac shouldn't randomly add files all over the place... Anyway, there is a Mac tool (DiscoverCare) for VW maps so that might help you in future: https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/download/#download I've never tried it so I've no idea how good it is or if you'll need a VIN for a similar VW car to allow map downloads. No idea why there isn't a Skoda branded version either

Satnav update issue
Mac's tend to add extra files to the SD card which confuse the satnav A couple of solutions are mentioned in this post but I have no direct experience:

Reversing Camera Retrofit
The OEM highline and lowline cameras both have a permanent live connection from fuse 18 (IIRC). They only turn on when needed, the highline gets a CAN-bus signal and the lowline uses a feed from the reverse lights. The lowline uses the separate power feed to avoid interference from the bulb monitoring system. As for Chinese versions, I'd hope the CAN-bus versions used the same logic. The 'dumb' versions with only power/ground connections will depend how you've installed them. Then again, there are so many different but similar looking versions for the Chinese cameras, it's impossible to know exactly what they do until it arrives. Even more so given the number of caveats/incompatibilities mentioned by the Sinosmart seller linked by @Vahids. As for MQB vs PQ, the MK3 Octavia is a MQB platform car so I'd suggest that version...
