Drivers fwd seat belt replacement
Those errors come up because of disconnecting the battery and usually disappear after a short drive.

The car does not respond the key
What new battery did you fit in the fob? The fobs are incredibly sensitive to the battery voltage and internal resistance.

Octavia Scout 2016 - Flip the direction of gearchanges
The gear shifter is actually a complex switch mechanism with switches for both active and inactive positions (as a cross check of each other). In theory you might be able to rewire the manual mode switches to operate the opposite way, you would need to get a wiring diagram and do some thinking and planning. BTW I agree the manual modes work the wrong way, to me push forward should be downchange and pull back should be upchange - so that the inertia of braking and accelerating assist the change instead of resisting it (this is how my previous Toyots Aygo worked).

Adding Maps and Reversing Camera
It actually says /Nav - which means no Nav (the / means without).

Multiple issues - common cause?
Skoda (in fact all VAG) temperature gauges show 90 degs for a wide range of temperatures (too many owners were reporting problems which were just normal variation in temperature when going downhill or driving hard), so don't believe the temperature gauge as an accurate measure of actual coolant temperature.

Mpg adjustment
With short journeys and the colder weather it makes any mpg comparison pretty meaningless as the engine will spend a much longer time in warm up phase when consumption is higher.

He's referring to the often mentioned silica bag in the coolant header tank. See if your coolant header tank has the words "mit silicat" on it?

Agree 100%,have fitted them in my kitchen diner after the builders only fitted one switch in an inaccesible place!

Moving the ACC stalk fully away turns it off and then the total mileage is shown.

Tested and working coding Octavia mk4
I have a MIB2 so I'm assuming that option still exists on the MIB3, maybe that's a bad assumption? Hopefully other IV owners will chime in.. The problem with the One-Click app is you never know what it's done, and if it's not correct for the versions of software in your car then all bets are off. IMHO the One-Click app is a very dangerous thing.

But still a concern in other regions less well served by public charging hubs.

Tested and working coding Octavia mk4
In the MIB have you tried the menu option to reset lighting values? This makes the MIB software re-read the user values.

Adding Android Auto to an Mib1 Amundsen system?
Don't know if they're still available but there used to be sold an extra electronic box that fitted behind the screen to add both AA and CarPlay to a MIB1 unit, try Goggle to see if they're still available?

Maps Update - Amundsen MIB2 - Format SD car?
First save the entire contents of the SD card onto your PC, then you have a backup. Then as the guide says format the SD card (this is much quicker than deleting all files when you use quick format). Then having unzipped the downloaded maps on your PC copy all the unzipped files to the SD card. I've done this twice a year for the last 8 years with no problems. The Amundsen will only read maps off a genuine VAG (Skoda) SD card and formatting does not destroy the embedded information that identifies it as a genuine SD card.
-
Satnav updates
The map supplier has changed and the maps are in a different format, so the files on a recent SD card will not be suitable for your 2010 Columbus. VAG have a policy of discontinuing map updates 5 years after the unit was last used in production, which is very frustrating.

EV used car prices plummeting ,what's your experience?
Some manufacturers, including Skoda, are moving to a business model where you don't buy the car from a dealer but actually from the manufacturer so a private individual cannot negotiate the price. I believe this will lead to an increase in the use of brokers, who can negotiate directly with the manufacturer.

the truth about electric cars
To pass Type Approval they are allowed to over read by as much as 10%, but most manufacturers calibrate them to read between 5% and 7% over to allow some margin for different tyre options and worn tyres. That is also what I've seen comparing the speedo and GPS on all the cars I've owned in the last 20 years.

I think that may only be true of a FL, my 2016 PFL L&K has an Amundsen.

Rain sensor confusion.
Thr things stand out on that scan: 1) There is no 20 or A5 module, so you don't have any forward facing camera. 2) If you had auto wipers then under module 09 there would be a Rain/Light Recognition Sensor but there isn't - but there is a Humifity Sensor G355. 3) Your 5F module has corrupted memory and reports a very strange component name of MU-E--ER. So the module you have fitted is an interior humidity sensor and not a rain/light sensor. This why you have no Wipers section in your Car settings.

Full Size Spare Wheel is limited to 80kph
And you've demonstrated an inability to consider that regulations don't cover every aspect of using a vehicle, and an inability to think about the effect on handling of different weight wheels on the same axle. You're blocked too for your seemingly arrogant and inflexible attitude.
