USB.......Data or just charge??
No, nothing special config wise. Only thing I've changed is the shut off timeout (WiFi Settings) and Start-Stop settings. My AAWireless device has been really good - no issues whatsoever.

USB.......Data or just charge??
If it's factory fitted, then it is usually an additional data port. Handy to have. Mine doesn't have it under the armrest, but I plan to retrofit it one day. It's requires a USB splitter/hub module, additional wiring and the USB port itself. I have an AAWireless device, and it sits perfectly above the USB port in the front, next to the phone box. I can even close the cover to keep it out of sight.

MY17 Superb SLA Headlights Upgrade - Help
I think @ApertureS might have the parameter file for module 55-Headlights.

USB.......Data or just charge??
Look in ur infotainment screen for available media sources - if u both USB1 and USB2 options, then the one in ur armrest is the data port version. Otherwise it will b just a charging port.

Throttle Response Change Using VCDS
I've done the throttle response mode, and it made a nice difference. I didn't do the Audi mode cause I've heard good n bad about it - I didn't want to fall in the bad n prefer my car to think it's still a Skoda, not an Audi.

Tyre Pressure Sensor Issue
i'm glad i retrofitted the direct tpms (with sensors inside each wheel) as it is nice to b able to c the tyre pressures live at any time, without having to take the tyre gauge out n checking it monthly.

Tyre Pressure Sensor Issue
I've had three punctures thus far in the first 3 yrs of ownership - each time I had to put the 16" spare on, and each time the ACC would get disabled. I've since got myself a full size 19" spare. ....and now that I have, I haven't had any punctures since!!!! 🤣

Front Grille replacement
ur overthinking this. the Kopacek site list the part numbers for each of the items sold. u can compare these with the factory part number using online parts catalogue finder, and u'll b able to tell if they're OEM or modified. the links u gave above for the kopacek parts even say "genuine Skoda Auto,a.s. product" not sure how much more assurance u want. i bought the black grille frame surround from kopacek. part number is 3V0853761-F9R. if u search for OEM black grille surround for Sportline models - u get the same part number.

Front Grille replacement
The stuff from Kopacek r pretty much OEM, so the quality and fitment will b perfect. I removed the factory chrome grille frame surround and replaced it with the black Sportline frame. It was perfect fit on the original grille. The box/packaging is OEM, as per my pics above. U have nothing to worry about with Kopacek parts. I've been buying stuff from them over the past 10 yrs.

Automatic adjustments for driving in Europe?
i'm not sure about the speedo to KM, but the Xenon headlights will automatically switch into Tourist/Travel mode, based on your navigation GPS. if it doesn't automatically switch, u can change the Travel Mode settings under the Light Settings menu in the Infotainment.

DRL advice and options for 2016 Skoda Superb
Damn....$2k-ish for a new unit!! I would buy a 2nd hand unit, locally or from overseas. I sourced mine from overseas. I sold my originals for dirt cheap a few years ago.

Superb Sportline or L&K 272 or 280
The 272 engine is the GPF flavored version. This came later to meet Euro6 standards. The 280 is the non-GPF version. The 220/280 come with the DSG-6 (DQ250) gearbox. Newer ones come with the DSG-7 (DQ381) gearbox. The 272 generally comes with DSG-7 (DQ381).

New FL Skoda Superb 2020 tail lights - retrofit?
Mine r not real - i improvised with door edge strip protection. It's an L-shaped plastic adhesive, with a chrome finish, sourced from AliExpress. Hence no drilling or screwing. They've been on for 3+ years now and still solid, with no signs of wear. I used the same with side door protectors, to give the L&K touch.

Upgrade from Low to High rear Led possible?
High version Both inner and outer lights r illuminated. Chrome caps. Low version Only outer tail light is illuminated. No Chrome caps.
-
Upgrade from Low to High rear Led possible?
That's incorrect - there r different versions. High & Low versions. There was a thread about it yonks ago - will find it. U can tell by the inside chrome caps for each bulb, as well as if the inner lights light up or not.

Changing xenon bulbs to LED
+1 I'm not comfortable putting an aftermarket LED bulb, inside a headlight unit not designed for the heat it generates. To top it off, to then seal the headlight with the headlight cover, thus not allowing the LED fan to expel the generated heat!! No thanks. For short drives, it won't b an issue. However for long drives, it won't b good. I occasionally do long drives (2-3 hrs) at night - i don't want my headlight units internals to melt, or worse case - catch fire!! I'm happy with the upgraded Phillips XtremeVision Gen2 D3S xenon bulbs I've put in mine. https://youtu.be/fkRcEJIVlJU

Whoops....my bad. Thanks for the correction.

Discovering AFS headlights after installing LED bulbs
Yup, it's all there in the user manual - about how the light changes based on different driving conditions, such as Urban, Highway, Rain etc. etc. Skoda has been using AFS2 in various models for a while now.

Skoda Superb Sportline with Chrome Grill?
I believe he's referring to the mk3 Octavia tyre sizes. They come on 19x7.5" rims, unlike the Superb which has 19x8" rims.
