DRL eyelash activation/boot close with remote
With mk3 pre-facelift Superb, for DRL eyelashes u need the right headlight, i.e. Bi-Xenon Version B. This is the Smart Light Assist (SLA) version. The normal version A headlights don't have the hardware inside the headlight to activate the eyelashes. U can tell the version of ur headlight by opening the bonnet and looking at the white sticker on top of it. If the part number starting with 3V ends in B, then u have the right version and u can enable the eyelashes with DRL. I can share the coding for that if u want.

Caster-Camber-Toe Question
My understanding is that u can't adjust the caster on the Superb's suspension. Which would explain the reading.

Drive modes - what do they do?
Essentially it "amplifies" u pressing the accelerator pedal. The result is ur not having to press the pedal hard before the car starts moving. Read about it here. There r various levels u can set it to, to suit ur liking. It takes less than 5 mins to install.

What size wheels/tyres will fit to Superb III
With ET48, those bicycle skinny 6" wide wheels will disappear deep inside the wheel arch of the Superb!! It will look horrible! Assuming that it clears the brake calipers.

How to show Google Maps (in Android Auto) to display in the Virtual Cockpit?
As above, not possible to get Android Auto maps on the VC. U can only show the factory built-in maps.

Dynamic indicators disappointment
Thanks @ApertureS for the part numbers. It would seem I need to get 3V0 857 538C No Area View (KA0), with Blind Spot (7Y1).

Drive modes - what do they do?
A throttle controller will fix that nicely. I've got an EVC Throttle Controller - highly recommended 👍

Dynamic indicators disappointment
Strange. I bought the facelift Superb MY19-22 wing mirror from VAGEXPRESS, and they insisted it was the right part. This was the part number on it - 3VD 857 538A. https://vagexpress.com/products/for-superb-lane-assist-side-assist-mirror-case-mirror-cover-blind-spot-lane-change-side-assist-light-for-mqb-skoda-superb-mk3-19-22-6051 Do u happen to know the part number of ur facelift wing mirror cover?

DCC Slider adjustment option mod
i don't understand. r u asking why big difference between DCC Slider Mod vs DCC standard? both VW and SKoda use the same DCC hardware - Gen 1 DCC and Gen 2 DCC Pro systems. the DCC software algorithm will change between models and brands, for obvious reasons.

Dynamic indicators disappointment
Definitely not. a few months ago i bought a facelift wing mirror cover, with the blind spot light in the cover - completely different size and no chance of it fitting. Had to return it. If the cover is different, the internals will b different, including the blind spot light position next to the hinge. U can see from the image comparisons below that the dynamic indicator light also has a different length.

DCC Slider adjustment option mod
The mk4 Superb uses the next generation of DCC, called DCC Pro. It uses 2 valves, hence it can better control the rebounds and compressions, with far superior responsiveness. The 1st Gen DCC uses only 1 valve.

Gandalf's Evolution
So I decided to change the front grille light bar to a proper one, i.e. not a homemade version. This one is an aftermarket one, from AliExpress - link here. They make different versions - mk6, mk7/7.5 and mk8 Golfs. Comes with the light animation at the start. It's cool. I specifically got the mk6 version as it was the right length for the Superb grille. I simply removed the surrounding trim that came in. It comes with a wiring harness (14-pin) that u can connect to ur existing headlight plug. Its designed to turn on with the low beam. I however used my existing wiring that i did before to power it up, so it comes on with the DRLs. The kit.... The light bar for the mk6 Golf.... The light bar without the surround.... The light bar test fitted... Clearance around the ACC radar.... The finished result.....

Dynamic indicators disappointment
I've fitted the dynamic indicators, from AliExpress, many many years ago. No issues with the fitment on the MY17. I know a few others who have used it to, with no issues. Likely u've got the facelift version, which has a different design to the pre-facelift wing mirror. Facelift started from MY20 I believe.

Afs cornering light
ur bulbs might b fine but there is clearly an issue with a sensor / wire / signal - hence why it doesn't do the startup dance. most likely its pointing straight down, which is basically the headlights operating in "limp mode". based on the error message - ur right headlamp is saying that it is not getting a signal its expecting.

What Is This?

Adaptive Cruise Control
Using OBDEleven or VCDS u can disable the undertaking prevention, so it's not reacting to cars in the adjacent lane. @Millster - the garage won't change ur ACC behaviour.

How to Guide - Superb 3 OEM Intake Mod
Yeah, it should help more indeed. It's like having a blocked nose on one side, u can still breathe, but now ur nose is unblocked and ur breathing is unrestricted!! Win win 😁

How to Guide - Superb 3 OEM Intake Mod
Glad u got the job done, but I find it way easier to remove the bumper than to fab around squeezing into various panels n tight spaces. There is no need or requirement to remove the radar or the bonnet release lever. Not long ago I dremeled out the opening properly - from the holes I had originally to fully open.

Gandalf's Evolution
The Hardrace front swaybar (7758) is in. 28mm. Car feels a lot more tighter, making corners flat n easy 😁 Did a wheel alignment as well as they had dropped the sub-frame. All good. It nicely compliments the existing Hardrace rear swaybar (7759) and front strut tower brace (8949). The original factory one.....

I had to pry/break it out as I wasn't planning to use it for later.

Stock RARB vs Golf R RARB...
@Dooge - 21mm vs 21mm.....that's no difference. U need to get something like 24mm or so for it to b an upgrade, and to notice a difference. Superb 280 and Golf R use the same RARB. Superb 220 and Golf GTi use the same RARB. I've got Hardrace 25.4mm RARB on my Superb 220. Made a massive difference.

Component protection active
@jonesi100 - U've triggered Component Protection on both the Central Electrics (09) and Gateway (17) modules - that means something has been added to the car that wasn't originally fitted from factory, or something has been removed from the car. What did u change? U need to remove the Component Protection by visiting a dealer to take care of it.
