CarPlay stopped working
The only thing I would suggest is to completely unpair your phone and factory reset the carplay settings on your infotainment system and retry it. Make sure the phone is disconnected and do it the following way: Firstly on the iphone go to Settings - General - Carplay - Skoda ( or/and any other vehicles ) - Forget this car. Secondly, on your infotainment go to Menu - Settings - Scroll to Factory Reset - Scroll to Individual Factory Reset - Scroll to Mirrorlink and reset it. Then reconnect your device and try it. Remember to select yes if it gives you the option to use Carplay when iphone is locked. Might be worth a try. It could simply be a glitch in the settings.

diesel fuel and Pollen filter
I don't know if this is of any help to you but according to their website this is their current " Suggested " schedule: https://az749841.vo.msecnd.net/sitesengb/alv1/d300a459-5ef6-433f-a49f-65f3638efaa1/national-price-servicing-min.63862747c3e6286ede19bc446a023030.pdf

Cannot reset inspection due warning
You may be resetting the wrong option. There are actually 2 resets. "Oil Service Reset" and "Inspection Reset". Turn the Ignition off press and hold in the " SET" button and then keep holding it in while turning the ignition on. First option comes up on the display " Oil Service Reset " do not release the "SET" button, keep holding it in and after a couple of seconds the display will change to " Inspection Reset ". Then release and press the button again quickly to reset that option. I suspect you're only resetting the Oil Service and that's why you're still seeing the "Inspection Due" message. I may be wrong but that's the way it works on my Octavia. Just to add that my vehicle is on a Variable/Long Life service regime and using the above method will automatically change the car's settings to a Fixed service regime. I then use VCDS to return the car to my original regime after doing the oil change. Here's a video I found:

Expansion bottle replacement
@Bap33 Being curious and a bit confused with the part number revisions I took a look at Ifinterface.com and even though logically the letter T comes after M in the alphabet I have concluded that 5Q0121407M is in fact the latest part revision. Well according to Ifinterface.com that is. If you locate the original part number 5Q012140G on Ifinterface.com it states " Dropped on 01/02/2019 please use as replacement " : 5Q0121407T but more importantly if you then click on the part number 5Q0121407T ( which I suspect is what you failed to do ) a further message states " Dropped on 01/02/2020 please use as replacement " : 5Q0121407M. So the T revision was introduced in February 2019 but the M revision was introduced exactly a year later in February 2020. Hopefully there's not a lot of difference between them. Perhaps it's just the outside wording. My M revision doesn't have the words " Mit Silikat " or " G13 " embossed on it.

Map update, Help..
I bought this one for my Amundsen MIB2 in July and can't fault it. I checked with the seller that it was 32GB before purchasing it and I formatted it a couple of times and I tried a couple of different maps on it to make sure it was future proof and I am well satisfied with it. Took about 2 weeks for delivery from Lithuania but I wasn't in a rush and it was well worth the wait. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2020-SKODA-GEN2-MIB2-Amundsen-2-SD-Card-Sat-Nav-Navigation-Map-UK-Europe/254517899066?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Map download failing
If it's any help here's a direct link to the equivalent VW download of the map. It's packaged in the 7zip format so you will need 7zip compatible software to extract it. I use Winrar myself: https://vw-maps-cdn.lighthouselabs.eu/vw-maps/P88_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT.7z

Strange chime ('bong') in the background
Could possibly be your satnav alerting you to a nearby POI e.g. a Petrol Station or Speedcam if you have it enabled in the settings. If you've enabled an audible alert for a POI it will make a noise even if your navigation screen isn't on.

A Pillar Trim Clip
The original part no. that you need is 8P0 867 276 but it looks like it's been superseded to 8P0 867 276A.

Skoda Octavia Sat nav SD Card Problems!
There's one or two issues that have been known to cause problems. Using a Mac to download and extract is the most well known issue but assuming you're using a Windows pc and from reading the information supplied in your post the problem could simply be that you've put the whole extracted folder onto the SD Card when in fact the only folder that should be copied onto the SD Card is the folder contained inside that one named " Maps ". Nothing else. Maybe that's the issue.

Installing Speed Cameras on The Amundsen MIB2 - Free Database and Quite Simple to Do!
@tunedude Yes, I've been aware for quite a while that it works for the Columbus as well. Unfortunately I can't edit the thread title to reflect this. Similarly, you'd be surprised how many members are still downloading the outdated cameras from my original post when my latest ones are amongst the newer posts at the end of this thread - another thing that I can't edit. Thanks though. With regards to the alert distances, despite being able to change their values - it has no effect. On browsing this issue on other forums there seems to be a consensus that the values are already preset by the infotainment system and are determined by both the distance and the speed of the vehicle with no way of adjusting them.

Installing Speed Cameras on The Amundsen MIB2 - Free Database and Quite Simple to Do!
@kolma Check your navigation menu settings. Under the " Map " menu ensure that the " Show POIs "setting is ticked then enter the " Select categories for POIs " menu and scroll to the bottom to see the newly added speedcam categories. Then tick each speedcam category to display them on your map. If the speedcams have been correctly installed and activated you should then see the cameras by using your fingers on the touchscreen to zoom in and out of different areas of the map. Also check the settings in " Nav. announcements " if you want to enable an audible alert.

Installing Speed Cameras on The Amundsen MIB2 - Free Database and Quite Simple to Do!
Once again, for whoever wants them, here is my latest customised version of EU Speedcams ( August, 2020 ). They consist of EU speed cameras which I've split up into four consolidated poi categories i.e. Fixed Speedcams, Average Speedcams, Variable Speedcams and Redlight Speedcams. They come supplied with my own preferred personal choice of icons for each category which are shown below. Remember to Install them as I explained in the first post in this thread i.e. after extracting the zip file remember to place only the PersonalPOI folder and metainfo2.txt file onto your sd card ( Please Note: a usb stick will not work! ). Also, please remember to select/tick the relevant newly added poi categories and the poi audible warning alert in your infotainment menu settings after performing the update or they will not display on your map or audibly alert you. Enjoy! EU Speedcams August, 2020.zip

Usb port
Sorry I'm not able to help with your usb solution but I did notice that the dongle you linked to is a lot more expensive than these altenatives which would save you quite a few pounds: https://carplay2air.com/ https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000333382779.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&tid=white_backgroup_101&mb=ObVJ0Pe5bD6J1zQ&spreadType=socialShare&tt=sns_Copy&image=Ue5392a149a2a477b9563b99776841e250.jpg&aff_request_id=5a16018abb61464a9331ab0329399c7c-1587029656620-00942-bUtAZM5XV&aff_platform=default&sk=bUtAZM5XV&aff_trace_key=5a16018abb61464a9331ab0329399c7c-1587029656620-00942-bUtAZM5XV&businessType=ProductDetail&title=%EF%BF%A198.71++20%EF%BC%85+Off+%7C+Carlinkit+CarPlay+Wireless+Activator+for+Audi+A3+A4+A5+A6+A7+Q7+Q2+R8+Q5+MMI+2017-2019+has+built-in+Original+Wired+CarPlay&platform=AE&terminal_id=ee76f13a1e4747abaffcb3459eda2a73

Rear wiper arm cap - where can I get it from?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/You-S-Replacement-Cover-Cap-for-Seat-Skoda-VW-Rear-Wiper-Cap-5K6955435-1-Piece/223978970092?hash=item34262fdbec:g:-3sAAOSwF3Bel2MI Give this link a try. Don't use the built in vehicle compatibility chart - scroll down instead and see if your vehicle matches the seller's list towards the bottom of the listing.

Rear wiper arm cap - where can I get it from?
I'm a bit confused. I've got one site stating that the part no. is 5K6955435 and it fits your car. But when I check this part no. in auction site listings it says it doesn't fit.

Rear wiper arm cap - where can I get it from?
Once again you're correct. I've looked your link up and I've found the matching part no. but it says it's for an estate. I don't know if it's the same for a saloon. Is yours an estate or saloon.

Time to go wireless
Yes - I've been contemplating this upgrade myself but wondering is the outlay worth it. With the voucher added the price of the dongle is approx. £88 when converted to GBP and the charging tray is almost £73 on Amazon UK. If you look at the installation video or the pdf instructions on the linked charging tray it looks a relatively easy mod to do but I've read elsewhere on the forum that the larger android and later iphone models would be too large to fit on it properly.

This is the Wireless Carplay Dongle link that SashaGrace posted in her thread. She paid approx. £80 for hers as she bought it during last year's Black Friday promotion: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000333382779.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&tid=white_backgroup_101&mb=ObVJ0Pe5bD6J1zQ&spreadType=socialShare&tt=sns_Copy&image=Ue5392a149a2a477b9563b99776841e250.jpg&aff_request_id=5a16018abb61464a9331ab0329399c7c-1587029656620-00942-bUtAZM5XV&aff_platform=default&sk=bUtAZM5XV&aff_trace_key=5a16018abb61464a9331ab0329399c7c-1587029656620-00942-bUtAZM5XV&businessType=ProductDetail&title=£98.71++20%+Off+|+Carlinkit+CarPlay+Wireless+Activator+for+Audi+A3+A4+A5+A6+A7+Q7+Q2+R8+Q5+MMI+2017-2019+has+built-in+Original+Wired+CarPlay&platform=AE&terminal_id=ee76f13a1e4747abaffcb3459eda2a73 It has to be a VW/Audi model like the one in the link NOT the cheaper android versions available on auction/marketplace sites as they won't work with a Skoda infotainment system. And here's the link to an oem like fit for a QI charging tray: https://www.inbay.systems/en/product/charging-tray-for-skoda-octavia/ But bear in mind depending on the size of your phone whether it will fit onto the tray.

I must be lucky with my vin as it works every time for me. Just to make sure though I made a pdf backup and stored it on my pc - it makes life even easier.

Correct disks for a 1.6d estate 2014
@PetrolDave, @Wino and @Bigtow This site is a godsend. It lists every pr code for your car. You'll find the front and rear brake disc codes along with a lot of other extra codes not even shown in your handbook or sticker: https://carinfo.kiev.ua/cars/vin/skoda

Underbody screws
Well my link is equivalent to your second link which I'm sure is the correct one - the only difference being mine is the genuine part. VW Part no. N90974701 to be exact. I bought some myself from a Skoda dealer to replace some missing undertray ones on my 2017 2.0L Hatch a few months back. If it helps you can verify that its the correct part no. with the aid of this site: https://skoda.catalogs-parts.com/#{client:1;page:group;lang:en;region:cz;model:octavia;modification:oct;year:2016;modetype:753}
