JR RS

As explained by @Danoid - it remembers the last state u left the start-stop state in when u turned off the car. So each time u start the car, u don't have to remember to turn it off. U do need to remove the centre console switch gear so u can install it.

I have an MY17 Superb and my start-stop also kicks in before the car comes to complete stop. Annoying especially at roundabouts or intersections. Unfortunately it's a common complaint. Which is why many of us either code start-stop out, or fit a start-stop memory device. I have the later - works a treat. Had it for a very long time now.

I forgot to mention in the how-to-guide about the dashboard trim piece that needs to b changed, ideally, though it's not noticeable from the inside the car.... unless u look behind the screen, or through the windscreen. Whilst I'm not a 100% sure yet, as I'm still researching, I think I need version E of the trim piece. My current part number is 3V2858418 NH1 (Brushed Metal). I think I need to get 3V2858418E NH1, which has a smaller opening profile behind the screen. My theory, with pre-facelift, is:- - MIB2 with 8" screen uses 3V2858418 NH1 - MIB2.5 with 9.2" screen uses 3V2858418E NH1 However I'm having trouble sourcing one secondhand as most r black from Sportline models. These r the options:- 3V2858418E HQ1 - gloss anthracite 3V2858418E NH1- brushed metal 3V2858418E NF8 - satin black If u have a LHD model, it will b 3V1. RHD is 3V2. As soon as I find out for sure, I'll update this post.

I've now created the how to guide, for those interested. MIB 2 to MIB2.5 Upgrade Guide v1.0.pdf

After my recent post showing the MIB2.5 upgrade, I've created a How to Guide, if anyone is interested in going down this path. MIB 2 to MIB2.5 Upgrade Guide v1.0.pdf If the above doesn't work, try this link. References:- - GitHub G11 to G13 Conversion Guide - GitHub AIO Firmware Readme

The expensive Skoda ones, yes. Chances of finding anyone that is selling a set is next to impossible. Aftermarket ones won't b aligned to the headrest design.

Both my front seats r electric, and the Canton amp is located under the passenger seat.

Is this compatible with electric seats? Definitely not compatible if u have Canton as the amp is located under the seat.

Not necessarily facelift, as the pre-facelift MY18 & MY19 models came with the MIB2.5 9.2" Columbus. Hence I'm looking for the trim from those models. Pre-facelift MY15 to MY17 came with MIB2 8" Columbus. It's not noticeable from inside the car, hence there is no urgency.

I've already got the Hardrace rear swaybar and front strut tower brace. The swaybars r paired with Whiteline adjustable endlinks. I'm getting the Hardrace front swaybar fitted in 3 wks. I wouldn't bother with the boot brace, nor the centre underbody brace.

Mission accomplished - MIB2 to MIB2.5 conversion on Gandalf! The whole process was quite easy to do. Those with a MIB2 unit, aka Columbus (Harman version) with 8" screen can do the upgrade. i.e. MY15 to MY17. No need to change the glovebox head unit. Just the screen. I sourced a secondhand 9.2" Screen from a MY18 Superb being wrecked. Got the G11 to G13 firmware conversion from mibsolution. Then once done, reinstalled the latest maps. I'll need getting used to where the things r cause there r no more physical buttons. Will do a how-to-guide soon. Fits in nice & solid, however there is a gap at the top behind the top of the screen and the trim piece. U can't see it unless u look through the windscreen. I'll look into sourcing this trim piece in the near future.

The trim piece is not flush behind the top of the screen though, but u don't notice it unless u look through the windscreen. Will need to sort this trim piece at some point in the future.

i did a "Hybrid" version on mine - got the black Sportline grille frame, and kept the original inners with the chrome fins. the chrome fins match nicely with the DRL whiskers in headlights. i even did the same with my Skoda round badges - made the outer chrome ring black. did it to the bonnet & boot lid badges.

I never said it did. 😉 I was simply responding to this line "A pal from italy mentioned why not slap the 2.5 and DSG from the RS3 instead ...."

@etskoda - find out the PR codes for ur car to understand the exact brake setup u have. It will b on ur boot floor. In my case, I have a MY17 Superb 220, with the following codes:- - Front: 1ZA = 312mm, vented - Read: 1KU = 300mm, solid

Not the case for me. The factory brakes on mk2 Octavia RS lasted 80k+ kms before I changed them for dba pads & discs, even though they still had some meat left. My current mk3 Superb factory brakes lasted 92k+ kms, even though the rear still had another 5.5mm left. Changed for dba pads & discs again.

Any pics of it installed on ur headrests? Is it practical as intended?

But u don't have an RS3 engine......

a guy in the Netherlands has done that already - RS3 engine and gearbox in his mk3 Superb. look for him on insta - superb_vrs3 although the engine blew recently, which he is currently in the process of being rebuilt.

the Kodiaq has it too. suppa duppa expensive to get them, IF u can find someone that sells them!!

Remove the side trim on both sides of the centre console, next to ur knees to gain easy access behind the climatronics. U then run wires across comfortably.

@Bap33 - as previously mentioned, Manoeuvre Assist was introduced from MY18 onwards. MY15/16/17 doesn't have it, sadly.

I likey, and the fitment and install turned as I expected/planned. However, after a few days now, in the day time, I'm not convinced as it doesn't have the same intensity as the headlight DRLs. It's the same colour temp, but the brightness intensity needs tweaking. I'll play with the adaptation values to see if I can improve its appearance during the day time. Not sure if that will help as I think it's the actual light diffuser over the LED that is making the intensity subtle. Might have to find a cover some that has lens or reflector properties.

some carpark and night time shots.....

I used (copied) the same adaption values from my existing DRL lighting channels - Leuchte2SL VLB10 - LED daytime running light module signal (left). So it dims and brightness with the headlight DRLs. i can also control the dimming and brightness values through the coding. in theory its feasible on any Skoda models - the trick is to find a "not active" lightning channel which also has a corresponding physical pin on the BCM module, that is not occupied. u can read about the discussion/discovery process i had on that here. then its just a matter of running the wiring from the BCM module through the firewall and into the engine bay, down to the front bumper.
