Full matrix headlights - working as designed or not?
No prob. Glad to be as curious as you Personally i did have it on Sport for a long time. Later i noticed that it can even be annoying since it tries to push high beam in every small slot it can. That causes some flicker/blinking and does not provide so much advantage over Normal. Do your own testing. Glad to hear other opinions

You're still unable to add it to MySkoda app?

Full matrix headlights - working as designed or not?
I've tried to test this "normal" and "sport" options. My thoughts are that Sport makes the lights react quicker when going ON, and with Normal they are more softer. So for example when a car is passing by, in Sport the lights go on much quicker, perhaps even in an annoying way. They might even look like flickering when they are going on/off quickly when a car is perhaps behind a tree or something. With Normal, the lights are more unnoticeable, since they light up more softly.

New Octavia - niggles and questions...
Screen brightness does go lower when car knows its darker outside. In the middle screen, you can use the pull down menu to set your brightness. I've got it on half. On Satnav you need to change your display mode to "automatic" its on day mode by default. Then its automatic by light setting. Wing mirrors - Do you always enter the car with one key? The settings are tied to keys. I've had no issues with them. Who uses SD cards or USB-sticks anymore

Of course less rubber is less comfy. I've got the 225/40/19 and i would not go for smaller. Have to admit though, that DCC helps alot. For winter i have 225/45/18.

VIN is given to a car just before production. Its like a serial number that the production is tied to. MySkoda app will accept your VIN somewhere when your car is ready from production.

Remote ventilation
It just uses the fan like you would without AC. Nice option to pre cool the car if its sitting in the sun etc.

Remote ventilation
Ant this is without the aux heater? Nice.

Remote ventilation
I'd guess the ventilation might need auxiliary heater as well. Can you set a departure schedule from car? If you can, then it should work. If not, then i guess you dont have it.

AC and ventilation with a mind of its own
Not talking about you, but many people use the AUTO against its AUTO features Mostly because they don't know how they work. Basically fan speed is set by temperature target. Higher the difference between real temperature and target temperature = higher the fan speed. Also note that the temperature you set, is not the temperature it will blow. It's the temperature it tries to archieve in the car. Also i suggest to remove the auto circulation if your windshield gets foggy. I did btw check the AC working with OBD11 real view. The car really can tell how good or bad the air is in the car.

Protection
Yeah, tell me about it. But rather than having everything taped, try a ceramic coating, a good one. They should help too.
-
Protection
I'm getting mine to have a decent ceramic coating. I guess its more against dirt than mechanical protection, but it does help a little. But the best practice is just to drive far from someone in front of you.

IIRC i got the same before the app accepted my VIN.

Just turn up the temperature on AUTO. It will then go lower. I've noticed that previus Golf was good @ 22c. Octy i have to turn to 23c to make it go quiet. Guys, remember with the AUTO setting, you only adjust temperature. Higher temperature request = lower speed. Also you can change AUTO speed by hitting the AUTO button again. There are three choises for AUTO speed. And note that when the vents are turned enough, they are closed
