Led headlights
You'll probably find a decent pair of halogen bulbs give you more distance lighting (where you need it) than LED's in the main beams. The reason is that an LED in a reflector is unfocused so tends to give lots of foreground lighting but very little distance lighting. Less of an issue for LEDs in fog lights so as long as they don't cause glare, I'd suggest buying a quality branded item rather than cheap Chinese things though

New to Superb II FL from Octavia III - is this normal?
A MK2 FL from 2015 already has OPS (address 10) as only older cars from before around 2008-2009 would have PDC (address 76). It just works differently on a PQ and MQB vehicle, so I'm not aware of any PQ compatible modules that'll automatically turn on when close to an object. Not sure if it's possible, but you might want to reject the car and find a early MK3 Superb as that should be similar to your MK3 Octavia.

Instrument-coding
Welcome. In future, you should post an autoscan rather than a picture A quick google suggests most 1Z0 920 803 D clusters are coded as 110B00 rather than 110800. I think that would enable the brakepad and seatbelt warnings...? Any owners manual suggests: But I've no idea how to do it... Might be worth turning the knob and see what happens

Bolero radio, does it have a code?
Nope, no radio code for MK3 Octavia headunits 👍

Need a bit of explanation on bluetooth modules
1Z0 035 156 F seems to be the Blaupunkt version which is reported to have phonebook corruption issues with later 7P6 modules. I'm don't know if there is a solution or if any BT module will work with your Bolero with track skip support. Maybe someone else can add more info

What's the part number and software version of you bolero?

Need a bit of explanation on bluetooth modules
The 1K8 module is older than your original one, I doubt it's going to help... It only has three bytes as it's old You need a module that supports the AVRCP bluetooth profile. I believe this means you need a 7P6 035 730 F or newer looking at various VW forums. I'm not super familiar with the Bolero but I'm sure there are issues with older Bolero versions and some BT modules. Something about corrupted phonebooks if I remember correctly? Might be worth checking your Bolero version can support the newer modules before buying anything...

Need a bit of explanation on bluetooth modules
There is NO component protection on these modules! From what I can tell, 7P6 035 730 C (and other 9W7 modules) support A2DP which is the bluetooth profile needed for BT audio streaming. It might just need enabling...

Reversing camera
Or just print off your own calibration board and take it with you! It cost me about £8 for a full sized print at a local printers

Reversing camera
You might want to take a look at this thread: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/485897-how-to-reverse-camera-fitting-guide/ It's geared towards an Octavia but the parts/theory should be similar.

Need a bit of explanation on bluetooth modules
There is no component protection on this style of BT module, nor on a 2010 Octavia... Which module did you have previously? Do you have VCDS or similar to code the BT module?

OBDeleven battery voltage accuracy
Might be worth asking the OBDeleven creators? Just to point out, even if OBDeleven is completely accurate, the voltage at the OBD port is unlikely to be identical to the battery voltage so it may show a slightly lower reading A proper battery tester is a better plan to asses the battery health as there is more to it than just resting/running voltages

Install 565 920 790 C Cockpit
@Scot5 - it's a virtual cockpit/cluster/dashboard or active info display. Basically, a big screen rather than traditional dials for the instrument cluster. There are various part numbers/software versions depending when it was made. 565 920 790 C is the part number of what seems to be the latest version

Driver's door power gone & Fuse box wiring
Check the wires inside the rubber gator between the door and car body. It's relatively common for this to fail

How to remove Amundsen screen
I've only had my screen out once but I'm pretty sure I used all four at once. It's probably possible with two as long as it doesn't reclip in

Sat nav disc

Install 565 920 790 C Cockpit
There are a few VCDS autoscans from cars with 565 920 790 C fitted online A good starting point is to see how the modules in your car compare... The C rev certainly has a very different software (4193) version installed to the earlier A rev (1691/1703) clusters.

Multiple Faults?
Might be worth checking the VCDS owners list and map to see if there is anyone local? An autoscan from VCDS takes a couple of minutes and will give you a much better idea of whether you actually need a garage or their diag fee!
-
Multiple Faults?
It's pretty hard to guess an exact problem based on a few dash lights as they cover so many different faults. I'd certainly agree that a failing battery can give a multitude of seemingly random faults. It's also plausible that a bad ABS sensor could upset the ESP/ESC and cause the steering light to come on as the two systems are closely linked. As for the OPS issue, some versions rely on the ABS sensors to assist with self parking etc but low voltage seems more likely. If you really want an accurate answer, you'll need to get the car connected to diagnostic equipment such as VCDS to read the fault codes. It'll depend what faults have been stored to whether a drive with a fully charged battery clears the warning lights

Sat nav disc
Welcome. Do you know which satnav you have as there are a few options for a 2012 Superb. Might be worth adding a picture if possible

Passenger mirror dip in reverse - sorted
It's impossible to know exactly what changes between part numbers. The final letter can denote: - a newer part - an improved part - similar parts with different PR codes/features - a change to how it's manufactured (cost cutting) Anyway, here is a scan of a Superb with a similar (to yours) K rev module and factory fitted memory motors here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/481377-amundsen-upgrade-to-google-maps-with-live-traffic/ That suggests the door controllers should support dipping. You might want to check your coding though, your previous post gave this lcode: 001C0120DE00020000001100 XX <-- byte 04 DE = 1101 1110 X <-- bit 1 is ticked Instructions clearly state bit 1 should not be ticked if memory motors aren't fitted. Maybe try: 001C0120DA00020000001100 If that doesn't work, I think you'll need to retrofit a memory motor and wiring to get this working properly.

Skoda octavia camera vcds
Might be worth adding a link to where you bought it. Is it lowline or highline? A VCDS autoscan would be helpful

That looks like a plug & play camera, are you sure coding is needed?

What camera have you installed? Is it a reversing camera? Can you add an autoscan so we can see how your car is configured?

Virtual Cockpit retrofit
Yup, as RomanB said, if it's a new cluster then when it's fitted, the fitter should transfer the odometer reading over for you. If you're using a used cluster (100km+ ?), it's not possible to simply set the odometer as currently, no tools can set a used odometer. It is possible to increase it by simulating a car travelling at 100+mph as I had to update my VC due to a repair. If you end up with a used one and need it increasing, drop me a pm
