Nope... Not as far as I'm aware on an Octavia anyway
-
Found another later combined brochure that includes the Challenge: Octavia Brochure Nov 2019.pdf At least based on the brochure (page 46), the Challenge got front assist but not ACC but more worryingly, only DSG 245's got the VAQ..?

Couple of random examples on eBay: - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294009730760 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233687908813 I've no idea if they are any good but given the price, they are almost certainly copies. Might be worth sending @Rustynuts a message as he knows these units inside out and may be able to help

If it looks like the image below, it's an RNS-510 style: It has an internal hard drive so it should copy the maps from the DVD to itself. This can take 40 minutes but it should do it while you're driving around, once it's copied, you can remove the DVD.
-
Welcome As you have a 2011 MK2 Superb, you probably have a RNS-510 style Columbus. The latest maps are V17 which are 2020, these are available on DVD. A dealer will probably charge some insane amount (£200?!), otherwise there are various copies online or if you're savvy, you might even find an ISO to download. Just be wary of 3rd party sources as there is no guarantee they've not been messed with... The Skoda website is only for newer cars with MIB style headunits so it's not applicable to your car I'm afraid. Hope that helps,
-
Welcome You'll need to unplug the xenon range controller and recode the car for halogen lights. You'll also need to replace the headlight connectors, add extra wiring for manual range control and the dial to adjust it. What's wrong with the current bi-xenons? A used headlight from eBay or a breakers yard could be a better option?
-
Yup, should be a 2 minute job with VCDS I expect this guide applies: https://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2011/08/26/rns-315-enable-the-hidden-bluetooth-carkit/

Welcome Plenty on eBay if you look for RNS 315 mic. The only obvious UK seller is this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203128544900 There are some in Europe and China for cheaper but it'll depend how quickly you want it to arrive Given the mac isn't 00:00:00:00:00:00, that suggests it has a BT module built in and just needs activating. You can also activate BT before you fit the mic as your phone should connect but obviously nobody will hear you on calls

From: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01539 Special Notes If Headlight Adjustment (Basic Setting) fails, check Level Sensors. Check Measuring Value Blocks (MVB) if Level Sensor Readings within Specification. When stored in combination with 01537, fix that one first. There have been reports of lowered vehicles displaying an error message in Basic Settings due to incorrect level sensor readings. If the vehicle height sensor(s) are bottomed out, it may be necessary to modify the sensor bracket to allow normal adjustment to occur. Check to make sure that the sensor arms do not have their pivots facing the wrong direction So if I were you, I'd check both level sensors are in good condition. Maybe take a picture of the rear one to check it's pointing out rather than in? It feels like one may be out of range preventing basic settings.

In which case there isn't much you can do. If you change to an RNS-510 style Columbus, you'll also need a external BT module and wiring loom so it'll get expensive A better option would be a MIB PQ STD2 style Amundsen, you'll need an adaptor loom (52 pin to 40 pin quadlock), component protection removing and features activating. If you add an appropriate USB lead, you can also get Android Auto/CarPlay. They aren't super cheap but as probably the best OE headunit for the Yeti. @pab567 is a good chap to chat with about the MIB style versions.

One quick google later.... 1K0 614 117 H is the hydraulic side, commonly fitted to the 1K0 907 379 P electronic side. From a VCDS scan: As you can see, it's a MK70 which tallies with my original thoughts. I think the correct ATE part is 10.0207-0054.4. At least based from this image:
-
No idea, what does the user manual say?
-
You should also add a full autoscan up for more context
-
Do you know what kind of Amundsen you have fitted? I only ask as there are three and as I think your car is around 2015, it could be any of them! Might be worth adding a picture if you can.

What camera did you get?

I've attached an Nov 2017 brochure for you. I went for a '245 edition' as I wanted heated seats and power folding mirrors. From the used stock available at the time, one had DCC as an extra so I chose that! Octavia Brochure Nov 2017.pdf

VCDS works perfectly with a MK2 FL. It's certainly more than capable of clearing an airbag light. Regarding the second fog light tweak, that's because VAG moved the functionality from the long coding into the lighting configuration section of the BCM EEPROM. As VCDS can't access the BCM EEPROM, it can't enable the second fog
-
It was genuine VW. A full genuine direct TPMS system for MQB cars (wiring, control module and 4 sensors) is about £100-150 at the moment so I'd consider that quite inexpensive If you pick the right sensors, they will auto configure within a few 100m if you swap the tyres round or do a summer <-> winter swap. Works quite well in my experience.
-
If the direct TPMS detects a pressure loss, it'll also cause a warning light It also has settings for normal and full load, when combined with factory xenons (with level sensors) it was also able to detect the car was loaded (3 rear passengers) and then complained I hadn't upped the pressures to compensate
-
G13 should be more pinky coloured: I think it's now been superseeded by G12 Evo: They are compatible and can be mixed
-
I never once had an issue with the VAG direct system I retrofitted to my MK2 Octavia All four sensors agreed with each other and my pressure gauge which is good enough for me. When I did get a puncture, watching the pressure dropping certainly helps in planning how quickly I needed to pull over too. It's something I want to retrofit on my MK3 in the future as I quite like the extra info.

It's things like the backup, where to find/share it and traversing the history which would make a useful guide. When you've worked it out, a few screenshots in a thread would be a great resource to direct other OBDeleven users at It often feels like I get a virtual blank stare when I ask OBDeleven users for them
-
My opinion (having never used it) is that as OBDeleven is cheaper and has a nice friendly app, it either attracts people that are less technical or lures people into not checking things. This is especially true with some of the 'one-touch' apps, they appear to have been tested against a single model year so messes up when applied to cars with slightly different configs. Ideally OBDeleven should do more checking to avoid this. The other issue is that it doesn't seem to lend itself to backing up configs or showing what changes have happened which makes helping people after the fact harder, even more so if they aren't able to share they current config apart from in random screenshots! Obviously it could just be user error but it seems common enough that OBDeleven should make changes to avoid it. As with most things, In the right hands, it can be a powerful and useful tool Thank you for the offer! If I need anything from a 2020 Octavia I'll drop you a message It'll mostly be if I'm trying to find a stock set of settings to help restore someone's car or if I want to know when a feature changed.
