Tyre pressure error
With Indirect TPMS, also known as Tire Pressure Loss Indicator, it uses the ABS sensors to determine each wheel's rotational speed. If one of them is off in comparison to the others, it will set of the TPMS alarm. Usually this equates to 4 psi or more. It can only do this comparison when the car is moving. If the pressures r the same, but the tires r worn out differently, it will rotate at a different speed, and may trigger the TPMS. If the brakes r binding, it will rotate at a different speed, and may trigger the TPMS. If one of the wheel bearings is worn, it will rotate at a different speed, and may trigger the TPMS. Hence there r multiple reasons for the TPMS to b upset. With direct TPMS, which is not available on the Superb, it doesn't rely on the ABS wheel sensors. Instead it has 4x sensors, one in each wheel, and a TPMS module (receiver). It measures the actual tire pressure, which gets displayed on screen. As @MartiniB indicated, there is the option to fit an aftermarket TPMS system, to monitor ur tire pressure live. in my case - I retrofitted the VW/Skoda TPMS system.

When/How did the Superb get wireless Android Auto?
MIB2 & MIB2.5 can't do wireless. U need a wireless dongle device. MIB3 can do wireless.

Wheels toed in too much after replacing front suspension
Likely because the SuperPro Lower arms are not correct length for the Superb. I believe the TRC1070 (used for the mk7 Golf) is too short for the Superb, i.e. 313mm. The Superb needs a length of 327mm. See L2 in the pics below.

Superb DCC increase height.
There is no requirement to do the DCC recalibration - it will continue to work with no issues. However it is highly beneficial to do it, especially if u want the shocks dampening (compression & rebound) to work well with the springs. It made a huge difference to me. the "science" behind the DCC recalibration..... "calibration is done with all four wheels off the ground, so the DCC module stores the fully extended value of the sensors. The theory is then that once the car is back on the ground the DCC module stores a "center" value. From that point it's able to do its thing based on the position of the level sensors, the accelerometers and your selected mode."

Superb DCC increase height.
U'll need to recalibrate the DCC if u increase or decrease the spring height. This requires OBDEleven or VCDS, and all 4 wheels suspended in the air.

Headlights , fog lights problem after VCDS changes - need restart some channels.
i take it you didn't make a backup before u went made all those changes?!?! also, for the DRL stripes to work, u need version B bi-xenon headlights, not version A. u can tell by the part number on top of each headlight.

Easy entry/exit
@Bap33 - sadly that didn't make a difference. I believe something changed from MY17 to MY18. Hence why it's not working on pre-MY18. Would b interesting to see how @Karlc28 got it going working on their MY17. Probably it's a 2017 build MY18, which would explain why it's working.

New shock absorbers
given u have no Comfort mode, that is an indication u don't have DCC. visually, u can physically have a look at the shock absorber to see if there is protruding small cylinder bit, as shown by the red arrow in the pics below. if it does, u have DCC. if it doesn't, u don't have DCC. via the MIB unit - without DCC via the MIB unit - with DCC

Triangular lamp under matrix lights
If u have the facelift Superb with Matrix Crystal lighting, then that bit lights up as the "Side Light". This is in addition to the fog lights cornering light function. This video explains and shows it clearly.

New shock absorbers
Just change. No need to code or recalibrate, provided u haven't changed the DCC controller/module.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Agreed, the Leyo paddle shifter extensions r next level in terms of fit, finish & feel. I got the silver ones on mine.

Additional Jack Points
All good. Just to b clear, the jacking points, and axle stand points r easily accessible and visible on the mk3 Superb.

Kopacek is ur place, if u want genuine and good quality. Shipping is not cheap though. If u want cheap, AliExpress.

Fuel reserve
I've driven 30km when the Range was showing zero. I drove a total of 981 km on that single tank!!! I've got a 220 (162TSi). The Superb comes with 2 different tank sizes - standard 66L size and a larger 75-78L size. PR codes:- - 0M4 = standard fuel tank - 1Z2 = Increase in initial standard fuel filling Hence if u have both PR codes, u have the larger tank. The larger tank is only available in certain markets. I regularly fill up 66 to 71L each time. Most I've put in is 74.8L.
