How Tell If Scala has Wireless AA Capability?
Suggest contacting a dealer to ask, giving them the VIN of the vehicle. But I've not heard of the option of activating AA - either the car has it or it doesn't. My Fabia didn't have wireless AA, so I bought AAWireless, which worked perfectly.

Wireless Carplay / Android Auto (Smartlink+)?
Android Auto works wirelessly out of the box in my (second hand) 2021 SE L, so I'd be surprised if CarPlay shouldn't do the same in a newer, more highly-specced car.

Mystery flap under bonnet
Hooray! Identified and fixed the rattle! It spent a day at the dealer, but they couldn't identify the source of the noise. They suggested that it might emanate from inside the dash, and since the warranty doesn't cover the cost of eradicating squeaks and rattles, I wasn't prepared to pay who knows how much to have the IP removed, taken apart and reinstalled. However, I'd noticed that the noise only became apparent at speeds above around 50mph, or when the weather was windy. This led me to think that it must be caused by the passage of air somewhere. Then I began to wonder about the under-engine tray - what if it was that which was flapping under the right/wrong conditions? Feeling under the car revealed that though the tray was securely attached front and back, at the back there was still sufficient play for it to knock against the car floor. Wedging the rear of the tray in place has cured the problem - at last! But I still don't know what that little flap inside the top of the bonnet is for...

Real MPG of the 1.0 TSI 110PS (manual)
Had my 71 plate car just over a month. Mix of lots of short trips (<3 miles) and some motorway work, usually at around 63mph (just fast enough to pass the HGVs) - I'm retired so rarely in a rush. Relying on the trip computer, average over these weeks - around 1500 miles - has been about 53mpg. This may be of interest: https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/skoda/scala-2019/10-tsi-110

Be aware there's a trade-off between bulb brightness and bulb life.

Clacking noise from behind glovebox
This sounds ('scuse the pun) like the problem that led me to explore the function of a mystery flap under the bonnet of my Scala (https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/534869-mystery-flap-under-bonnet/) Same as you - irregular rattle/flapping noise becomes noticable when running 50-60mph+ , and in recent windy weather. That suggests to me it's caused by rushing air. Putting felt pads on the mystery flap didn't sort it, sadly. My car is used but new to me, so I've booked it in to the dealers for them to have a play with. I'll post updates if there are any. Maddening - in so many ways the car is really refined and quiet, at least compared to anything else I've owned. This noise spoils it somewhat, though having radio/podcast on will mostly drown it out.
