DAB radio signal
In my 2018, if anything is plugged into the 9v sockets then this degrades the signal. If you have anything plugged in this might be the problem.

Triangular lamp under matrix lights
I think you're talking about the cornering lights. At night when turning the steering wheel left or right, the corresponding fog light comes on an acts as a cornering light, until the steering wheel is straightened again.

"Convenience" window opening with remote stopped working.
I had this on my Superb MKII, and it was because the windows had lost their limit settings for some reason. However you can reset them by doing something like this (I can't remember exactly): Turn the ignition on (not the engine) Using the window switch send the window all the way down and press 5 times down and hold it for 3sec on the last time. Using the window switch send the window all the way up and press 5 times down and hold it for 3sec on the last time. Do it for each of the windows individually.

Deactivate alarm
I'm pretty certain that if you deactivated in the infotainment menu, or push the remote lock button twice in succession, this not only does this deactivate the interior sensor but also deactivates the tilt sensors. Therefore the alarm is totally deactivated.

Alarm Going Off.
A double press of the 'lock' button on the key, will disable internal monitoring and deadlocks but won't turn the alarm off.

Rear dashcam installation
I tried running the cable down both sides, and it made no difference. I also tried adding ferrite cores. My dashcam is an Apeman.

Rear dashcam installation
You probably just need a bit more force to remove the trim. I used a trim removal tool at one of the corners and then it just popped off.

Reversing camera
I fitted one of these about a month ago. Cost about £45 in total including delivery and taxes, and it took a couple of hours to install. Plug and play. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000230897829.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.2e88299f8wpCPU (version 'b' was for my Superb)

reversing camera
I successfully fitted one of these last week https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000230897829.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.40694c4dTEPT93 (mine was the 'B' version. Delivery from China was one week, and for a total price of £42.54 (that was including delivery and import costs). Took a couple of hours to install. Once plugged in worked first time, and no coding required. Difficult bits were getting the cables in behind the glovebox headunit, and then feeding the cable from tailgate to the C pillar.

2018 Superb Estate Car Seat Query
Don't worry about rear space in a Superb. If there was one car on the market that I would recommend for leg space, it would be the Superb. If you've got 2 other child car seats in the back, then it might be a tight on width, but one on it's own will not be a problem.

Infotainment Slow to start
You could try a 'hard reboot' of the infotainment system. Hold down the on/off button, until the screen goes blank (about 10 secs), and then release. It will then power up again.
