Hello! Owning Superb MK3 L&K 2018 with Columbus 9.2" inch screen and it supports CarPlay/Android Auto, but only with cable. So last year I bought Ottocast U2 Air CarPlay dongle and since then I can use CarPlay wirelessly and it works every time. Since needs are changed and market has solutions to offer - Android AI Box. Wanted to know is here users who owns Android AI Box ? It supports full android + android auto + apple carplay. Latest Android devices running Android 13, supporting 8GB RAM, SnapDragon CPU-s - Wanted to know how good these boxes are they in real life. Are they laggy or pretty smooth ? For example latest Android 13 and the only one (atm), what also supports 5G network is called UX999 Rocket - Then there is cheaper one with no 5G network UX999 Ultra Here is also a good overall review about the AI boxes: Top 5 Best CarPlay AI Box Adapters 2023 | Which CarPlay AI Box Dongle Should You Buy? Lets forget talks about "jailbreak your iphone or buy older android" and focus only for AI boxes, what is on the market and what Škoda owners are using daily etc... So, are you considering to buy AI box or to you already use ? Share your thoughts!

After some researching and calculations Superb went to maintenane and was done: • Engine oil change: I had it myself and used Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W30 (the dealership uses the same oil, but from them 5L costs over 100€ ) - 5L can in the store cost me 39€ • OIL CAP WITH WASHER • K/TRANSMISSION OIL DSG/DCT • OIL FILTER (MANN) • HYDRAULIC FILTER WITH SEAL • Replacement of remote control battery (PHILIPS) I did filter replacement by myself (filters costs 51.51€). It was pretty straight forward and took about 25 minutes, but saved me pretty much € Didn't changed fuel filter, going to do it soon.

Has anyone changed turning lights to dynamic LED ones ? There is lot of those dynamic LED-s available, but which ones are the good one and what else to watch ? Didnt found any good video how it can be done on Superb, but found on Octavia:

Thank you to everyone who bothered to answer my amateurish questions - Still learning I tried to took apart dealer and other Skoda workshop maintenance offers, to understand - is there something that I can do by myself. After some searching I came to a conclusion about filters: I can buy filters a lot cheaper and going to change myself: Pollen and air filter, but going to buy all the filters below. OEM code MANN MANN site Local price (€) Air filter 5Q0129620C C 30 004 Link 14.96 Oil filter 03N115562B HU 7020 z Link 6.65 Pollen filter 5Q0819669 FP 26 009 Link 15.25 Hydraulic Transmission Filter 0GC325183A H 6031 z Link 6.65 Maintenance contains also engine oil replacement and Im going with Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W30 - 5L cost 39€ (dealer price for the same oil was 106 €) There is also Haldex clutch oil 850ML - OEM code should be G 060175A2 - Workshop price is ~58 € (with discount) - At the same time, same amound oil from Febi or SWAG costs 17 €... am i missing something?

toot, thank you! I found myself to understand, what DSG my Superb have. It is 7-speed 4x4, but is it DQ250, DQ381 or something third ?

Škoda tells me that I have to go to regular maintenance in a few days. Therefore I thought, where I can check exactly, what the next service should do ? Mileage is at the moment: 112236 km - Where can I get full info about next service without asking it from dealer ?

So...new problem occured. Few weeks ago engine light came on, orange one. Car is working normally, no problems at all. Went to local service shop, they did diagnostics and found error: 15733/P20EE what means NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold 🖕 They gave me 2 options: 1. Change the NOx sensor / adaptation of the Ad-Blue system: They made me an offer: New NOx sensor: 500 € + replacement = 671 € <-- Also mentioned that you can replace it, but your car have 2 of them...It was like "you can run but you cant hide" sentence... 2. Optimization of vehicle engine controller software. It means they to the coding to turn Ad-Blue OFF or something. Price is 500 € I'm pretty new what comes to NOx sensor or Ad-Blue etc...so I have to understand, what is the cause if I will let them to code it OFF ? When I asked them over the phone how often such a problem occurs, the answer was - not every day, but it occurs and almost everytime owner choose to code it OFF. Is it true, I don't know...at the moment I'm trying to understand, what are the consequences if the error is coded out ? Or is there any third option also available ? If someone have been this kind of situation, please contact me and how your NOx thing solved ? 🙏

Recently changed yellow bulbs to white LED. Bought here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003157234648.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.dee71802Br4NIy Really easy installation and the result is nicely bright.

Recently changed yellow bulbs to white LED and the result is amazing. Nicely bright!

If I want to read errors by myself, then what diagnostic tool should I buy ?

MartiniB, this is maybe a better solution after all. Tried to find good T10 LED in Estonia - impossible. Only bulbs with 360 degree. Im concerned about the wiring that whole body comes with. Hard to replace ?

I removed the tailgate light to see what light bulb was inside to replace it with white LED. Inside was ordinary halogen W5W E1 2GL bulb. So, what bright white LED bulb do you recommend ? Do I understand correctly that the LED socket must be T10 to replace W5W ?

I have Superb L&K 2018. Trunk bulbs are yellow and I want to change them to bright white LED, because it gets darker outside every day. Any good recommendation ? Is there any good manufacturer bulbs to use, Osram or etc ? Took one of the lights out and code is: 6L0 947 565

Bought wireless CarPlay adapter: Ottocast U2 Air from Amazon. Cost 100€. https://www.ottocast.com/products/u2-air Connecting it with car was pretty intuitive. Had few times, where it didnt connect, but after software update - no problem. Really like how fast it connects! Main disadvantage - Drains phone battery, but it depends, how old the phone is and what condition the battery health is. Sad that this adapter doesn't support screen mirroring that I can play youtube etc.

Today was rear brake pads replacement. New ones from Brembo.

What flush USB charging ports in the cigarette lighter to you use and which magnetic phone holder ?

I have read various topics about wireless CarPlay dongles, but there is still unanswered questions and can't decide which one to buy, because there is a lot of them. I own Skoda Superb MK3, L&K 2018 1. Me and my wife have iPhone-s. We use Waze everyday. Is there wireless CarPlay dongle, where can connect 2 iPhone's and switching between them is simple ? As far as I know then at the moment it is pure pain to change phones...must unpair etc. 2. What is the fastest dongle to get CarPlay on screen, when sitting to car ?

Hello! Thought to make a thread about my new car. From 2014 to 2022 july I drove with SAAB 9-5 Estate Aero. Time goes on and needs change and so I decided to go forward. My searches began early spring and recognition hit me in june - It's when you sit in the car and you understand "this is it" 😆 At the moment I feel like you have a button phone and now you have to use smart phone - so much to discover. Color is candy white, interior black leather, webasto, canton, 9.2" Columbus touch screen, parking camera. Mileage: 105814 km I have realized that there is VCDS, where you can enable/disable etc - pure pandora box and still doing research, what to do my initial thoughts on what to do: Disable START/STOP - Enable rear DRL - Enable refuel quantity - Enable cornering lighting - Enable traffic sign recognition - Enable trunk closing from inside (not VCDS, it's VCP) Enable High Beam Assist - I have lane assist and HBA should be available ? What more do enable/disable ? So far I have done: 04.07 - Key battery change. Replaced by Panasonic 2032 09.07 - Updated navi maps (ver: V03959801JP0166 ECE 2018) --> (ver: V03959818H 0197 ECE 2022/2023) - Maps taken based on VIN from the portal: [url=updateportal.skoda-auto.com]updateportal.skoda-auto.com[/url] - Updating via USB took 35 min. 14.07 - The wind deflector on the left side of the rear grill has been fixed. When taken apart, it turned out that the so-called plastic fork had simply moved out of place. More information with a solution on the [url=https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/426372-rear-passenger-air-vent-part-number/page/2/][b][u]Briskoda[/u][/b][/url] page. 15.07 - Rear wiper blade replaced - Valeo Silencio Rear VR267 15.07 - Bought Škoda Helios Triton 17" rims for the winter (code: 3V0601025A / 8Z8 silver) + Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 215/55/R17 98T XL studded tires were included. Used to having tires on separate rims depending on the season, convenient. 22.07 - Rear main oil seal replacement Things to do: Rear brake pads - About 30% left. Wireless Carplay dongle ? I really like how Carplay via USB works, but thinking to buy dongle to use it wirelessly - any suggestions ? Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native
