How to make Canton sound better on Superb Mk3?
I would say yes - MIB3 is a different system altogether, even the Canton setup is different to wat the MIB2/2.5 uses.

Res Delete on 2018 Skoda Superb (2.0 Petrol)
I did a centre resonator delete recently on my 220 petrol Superb - got an RPM Performance Resonator Delete Anti-drone pipe. It's made for the mk3 Octavia TSi. Good fit. Makes a nice little difference, nothing obnoxious, and best bit - no drone at all, even at highway/freeway speeds. Installed.... Video comparison....

Hanging undertray, rear near side
looks like it, yes.

Hanging undertray, rear near side
It should b a metal screw that pairs with that. It slots into the plastic undertray, which then screws onto that. Pic below is not great, but it gives u an idea of it.

How to make Canton sound better on Superb Mk3?
These r the settings on my Canton. I'm really happy with this setup. 95% of the time I'm playing music on Spotify. Sub Surround... Equalizer...

Visual Mods For A Pre-FL MK3 Superb
No, mine is not a Sportline. It's basically a 220 L&K like. It came with the boring black no frills lower diffusor - like the pic below. Hence why I changed it straightaway for a Sportline version. The whole rear black needs to be replaced. It separates (unclips) from the bumper itself, which 4 torx screws at the bottom. The rear parking sensors r located on the black diffuser bit - so these need to be moved. Likewise if u have the virtual pedal. Pic of the rear Sportline diffuser seperated.

2016 Superb Estate 280 - Subtle Mods on a budget
i would b very very surprised if the AWD Superb stock rear swaybar is 19mm. for some reason i'm thinking its either 21 or 22mm. anyways, u'll find out soon. regarding the DQ250 - it can handle a lot of torque, up to 600Nm comfortably, with a TCU tune. once u start pushing north of 600 Nm, then u need to start changing clutch plates n other bits of hardware. mine is putting 530Nm at the wheels, with no complaints, side effects or issues, apart from losing traction if i push it hard.

Visual Mods For A Pre-FL MK3 Superb
it is the Sportline diffusor, which i vinyl wrapped in gloss black. in the centre i have a gloss black diffusor "fins", from Kopacek. Maxton also have similar designs. nothing dramatic - just subtle changes, which is wat Gandalf is all about 🙂

Skoda Connect pairing
Mine is MY17. I had to connect to the car's WLAN for the app to work. The MySkoda app is even more useless now. I stopped using it about 2 yrs ago. Yes, ur model year has neither SOS nor online capability. U need to at least have an MIB3 unit (found in facelift models), and living in Europe somewhere, for the MySkoda app to useful!!

How-to Guide to Upgrade MIB2 to MIB2.5
for the purposes of closure/completeness, the final piece of the puzzle was done - the centre dash trim piece. So 6 months later after converting my MIB2 unit to a MIB2.5 unit, I finally managed to get my hands on the centre dash trim suited for the 9.2" Columbus screen. MIB2 trim piece - 3V2.858.418.A MIB2.5 trim piece - 3V2.858.418.F The swap out process was relatively easily. Removed the screen first, then unclipped the old trim piece. I was unable to disconnect the ambient lighting strip connector as it was deep inside the dash trim and there was no way of getting to it!! So I unclipped the actual LED board and clipped it on to the replacement trim piece. Job done. There is two of them. One shoots light from inside to left, and the other from inside to right.

Android Auto stopped working after phone reset
as above - clear the data and cache associated for the android auto app on ur phone. also make sure to forget/remove all cars in ur android auto app on ur phone, under Connected Cars. that should trigger the "fresh" first time use with ur car.

Canton Bass Sound Distortion Problem
@enoktakenokta - i take it u have a Canton system. if so, it might worth checking the wiring connection to the sub in the boot. i've seen some posts about the wiring connection on the sub itself being weak/frail, and hence crappy connection, resulting in distortion or no bass. my sub is set to +2 and its still plenty punchy and lots of bass.

2016 Superb Estate 280 - Subtle Mods on a budget
correct - i'm not chasing more power. 300bp and 530Nm at the wheels is plenty for a daily drive. there is only so much u can push out a FWD. if i had an AWD Superb, i would've gone with a different tuner. now it's about efficiency and reliability. hence the IE intercooler already done. i'm contemplating the Racingline DSG Cooler.

Gandalf's Evolution
yes, mine (MY17) comes with 10 colours. MY15 and MY16 came with only 3 colours. MY17 onwards they came with 10 colours. i contemplated coding it to 30 colours, but i figured that would b too many and a waste of time.

Visual Mods For A Pre-FL MK3 Superb
If u want the facelift chrome strip, u will also need:- - facelift inner and outer taillights - centre chrome strip trim - facelift rear camera - facelift boot handle I wanted the chrome strip, but it was too expensive of an exercise, so I improvised and made my own chrome strip, using an L-shaped chrome strip trim from AliExpress. It's been years since I did - still going strong and holding up well.

Authentication problem…
It's not a quick job as it needs back door tools/software. Also depends on how busy the workshop is.

Authentication problem…
@Craig0 - u need to take the car back to a Skoda dealer and get the SWaP codes reactivated/enabled again.

Gandalf's Evolution
So 6 months later after converting my MIB2 unit to a MIB2.5 unit, I finally managed to get my hands on the centre dash trim suited for the 9.2" Columbus screen. Got it from an MY18 Superb being wrecked. Good price too. Was difficult to find a match with mine as most of the Superbs being wrecked were Sportline models, hence carbon or black finish trims. That's assuming the trim piece was available and not damaged to start with!! The swap out process was relatively easily. Removed the screen first, then unclipped the old trim piece. I was unable to disconnect the ambient lighting strip connector as it was deep inside the dash trim and there was no way of getting to it!! So I unclipped the actual LED board and clipped it on to the replacement trim piece. Job done. There is two of them. One shoots light from inside to left, and the other from inside to right. MIB2 trim piece - 3V2.858.418.A MIB2.5 trim piece - 3V2.858.418.F Comparing the two trim pieces... Seperating the LED from the 2x ambient light holders... Cover removed... LED board removed... Without the LEDs All done...

Lost all Audio Sound
sadly the MIB3 units, which u have, r notorious for misbehaving like this. a firmware upgrade might b ur long term fix/solution.

There is no need to recalibrate or setup the ACC radar if it's done carefully and properly.

Aux Socket Dead
i assume u r referring to the 12v socket? the AUX is usually where u plug ur headphones into. there isn't one in the boot. the 12v sockets r controlled by two different fuses. #30 12-volt socket in luggage compartment #40 12-volt power outlet fuses r located behind the glovebox for RHD Superb. the 12v socket is permanent live, in other words - they remain powered even after the car is switched off.

2016 Superb Estate 280 - Subtle Mods on a budget
correct - the IS38 is used in the AWD Superb and Golf R. so if i can pick up a secondhand one in good condition, for cheap that would be the way to go for me. the downside is that the bigger IS38 takes longer to spool and build up boost, compared to the smaller IS20 used in the FWD which is a lot more peppy/responsive. ideally i would've liked an APR or IE downpipe, but because APR don't do Stg 2 anymore, that is not an option for me, unless i start from scratch and switch tuner altogether!! so for now, i've done the RPM Resonator Anti-Drone Delete pipe. yeah, i saw the comments responding to ur R600 intake and the inlet pipe - i would just ignore them. i have the cotton filter version in mine. its easy to clean.

Trav's 2021 Superb 280 L&K
@travs - the aftermarket air intake duct doesn't take care of the blocked grille intake. this is only specific to the Superb. the mk7 Golf does not have this issue as it has a different design altogether behind the grille. the Superb has a chamber behind the grille, that feeds the air intake ducts. i'm not sure if the mk3 Octavia has a similar design behind the grille or not. for the intercooler - front crash bar off, radiator off, condenser off, then u can change the intercooler and do the associated piping. i got the IE FDS intercooler.
