DSG drops out of gear at junctions before car stops requiring sudden extra braking
SInce there is no iV version of the Octavia 3 it seems you have posted in the wrong forum? As Rooted asks do you maybe have a Superb not an Octavia?

Software update to alter vehicle MODE and start / stop
VAG have made changes post Dieselgate to default to the settings used when the WLTP figures were measured. You would be best posting in the Octavia 4 forum, as other owners may have found some tweaks that work?

Coding for rear lights on with DRLs with auto lights.
VCDS is the Ross-Tech tool?

Tuning the sound system
The key phrase there is IMO, there are multiple opinions all of which are right for the individual.

Kopacek/Superskoda
I'm also surprised given what they have said and how they asked me to remove the bonnet struts from my order. Maybe your order was processed by a new or inexperienced member of staff?

Tuning the sound system
I have to agree with @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits, the sound I like is completely different to what my brother likes and what my SO likes.

What improvements would you make to the infotainment system?
To prove you're the owner and not some scrote trying to get an easy way to unlock someone else's car?

Skoda Superb 2019 estate mirrors and drivers seat moving randomly
Could be a stuck switch on the seat memory controls causing the seat & mirror positions to revert to the saved position?

Kopacek/Superskoda
Kopacek/SuperSkoda have gone on record as saying that they do not want to deal with the extra export/import paperwork needed post-Brexit, so for them Brexit IS the issue.

Dipped beam dashboard light
No.

LED number plate lights
Is this an Octavia 2 or Octavia 3? 2013 could be either...

Kopacek/Superskoda
I've ordered from Kopacek/SuperSkoda several times both before and after Brexit, and never had any problems. Before Brexit they would accept and deliver orders of anything on their website, but post-Brexit they have a policy of only delivering items of a size that Royal Mail will accept due to "paperwork issues" - and they have refused an order I attempted to place for the bonnet struts for an Octavia 3. So as I understand it your order for a rear diffuser should never have been accepted.

CarPlay not working
Sounds like CarPlay may not be enabled on the MIB2 unit, it requires a SwAP code that is VIN specific. I had to have this done when I bought my 2016 with a MIB2 Amundsen to get CarPlay working.

CarPlay not working
What's the back story? Has this ever worked? Have you changed the phone? etc.....

CarPlay not working
Try a genuine Apple cable, some cables are only for charging not data transfer.

VRS Purchase - what to look for?
Silica bag in the coolant reservoir (don't want that) DSG oil change (want that, even though it's probably not due until 40K miles) Being 2015 it could have a MIB1 or MIB2 infotainment - if you want to use CarPlay or Android Auto then you need a MIB2 Plus all the usual stuff indicating a caring responsible owner...

VCDS what do I need? - READ BEFORE BUYING
If you are thinking of going the eBay route be VERY careful that it's genuine cable as there are lots of clones - and you won't get any support from Ross-Tech (or here) if you have a clone.

Can not turn off daytime running lights with light switch
I suspect the default behaviour with a failed light sensor is DRLs on, which would mean you would need to get G397 fixed/replaced first.

Octavia iv real elec range
The 1941 update is to the infotainment system only, so will have no effect on the powertrain. More likely is the colder wetter weather affecting the power drain (wipers, heater, etc.) and hence the range.

Timing belt change
SKoda UK have recently fallen into line with the rest of the VAG world and removed the 5 year "suggestion". There are plenty of threads on here giving the updated schedule.

Change the key battery!
I've used the CR2032 in all 4 fobs from my 2015 and 2016 Octavia 3's with no problems.

VCDS what do I need? - READ BEFORE BUYING
Ross-Tech and their UK distributors do an upgrade option which is worth looking at.

VCDS: C10B2 F2 - Module for High Beam Assistant - Function Restricted due to Mirror Dimming Over-Temp
Looking at the temperatures in the fault code details it shows 72 and 74C which suggests the module is running hotter than expected. Has this just started happening, is the ambient temperature unusually warm?
