New FL Skoda superb LED matrix headlights~retrofit!
unfortunately i don't know what modules the facelift superb uses for its headlights. when i upgraded from bi-xenon headlights to bi-xenon SLA headlights, i had to:- - change the LCM (light control module - one under each headlight) - get new parameter file dataset for 4b multi-function module, so the SLA matrix lighting can work - make code changes to modules 09, A5 and 4B the headlight wiring was the same - there was no difference in pins, or pin assignments.

New FL Skoda superb LED matrix headlights~retrofit!
@Waylon - oh dear!! Wat made u think a LED matrix headlight with sequential indicators would b plug n play with a non-LED non-Matrix non-sequential indicators headlight!?!?!?! Assuming u have a pre-facelift, have u also purchased the following:- - new facelift bumper, which includes facelift grille and foglights? - new AFS module and Light Control Modules (x2) for - do u have 4B multifunction module? - do u have the parameter file for the 4B module? - component protection? EDIT - I just realised u have a facelift already. Ignore everything I said above.

DCC Slider adjustment option mod
@Frankenfurter +1 for the DCC recalibration as it makes a difference to how float/bouncy the car rides. i didn't know about this recalibration before and only did it 6 months after i had my car lowered on Eibach Pro-kit springs. it rides much much better now. i used OBDEleven to perform mine. i highly recommend any one with DCC and has changed their springs to perform the DCC recalibration procedure.

Any useful software change recommendations using OBD eleven?
@Snowr0- if u have the Pro version of OBDEleven, I can send u instructions of the stuff I've done to my Superb over the years. - Activated Alarm Chirps while Locking/Unlocking - Enabled Traffic Management Notifications - Activated High Beam Assist (HBA) - Enabled Foglights as Coming/Leaving Home - Lowered Cornering Lights activation speed - Enabled Rear lights with DRL - Coding Eyelashes to be always on (requires SLA headlights) - Enabled DRL Menu in Infotainment - Disabled Tailgate Beep - Enabled Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) - Enabled Refuel Quantity - Disabled Undertaking Prevention - Enabled Instrument (Dashboard) Cluster to be Always Illuminated. - Modified Outside Ice Warning Temperature - Performed DCC Recalibration - Enabed Ignition (Engine Start/Stop) button Pulse lighting - Changed Driving Profile Throttle Response - Changed Indicator Flashing As mentioned earlier, as tempting as it is, avoid using the OBDEleven One Click Apps - if it doesn't work, u can't revert back without any traces left behind and can cause more headaches!! Some apps won't work, and u waste credits, even more to revert it cause it didn't work. With the Pro version, u can do the changes step by step, and u know exactly wat u changed. U don't get visibility with the One Click Apps. With regards to Start-Stop - I fitted the Start-Stop Memory Module in mine years ago. Gives u the freedom to still use the Start-Stop function at ur will, and also remember the last stated it was in when u switched the car off. Much much more handy and practical than permanently coding it out, in my opinion.

Gandalf's Evolution
Fitted Leyo Paddle shifters (PSD001S) after the dealer knocked off my previous stick on AliExpress shifters during the 75k service back in July!! These ones r screwed on. Awesome quality, finish and fit. Much longer, easier to reach and solid clicks.

Parking sensor access?
Accessing the front parking sensors is a front bumper off job. To take it off, u need the front up on jack stands, front wheels off, wheel arches off (or pulled back), washer fluid pipe disconnected, and wire harnesses disconnected. U can then easily access the PDC sensors from behind the bumper. I put this how-to-guide a while ago. Removing Front Bumper.pdf

Spare wheel issue
Ur assumption is correct with regards to how it works. The factory TPMS in the various Skoda models is Indirect TPMS (Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator) - it uses the ABS wheel sensors to compare the rotational speed of the 4 wheels. If one of the them is loosing air, it will spin at a different rotational speed and trigger the indirect TPMS. Difference must b 4 psi or more. If u fit a different sized rim/tyre, like a spare, it will have a different rotational speed and also trigger the indirect TPMS. The second version is the Direct TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). There r 4 sensors, one inside each wheel, and a control module. The 4 sensors detect the pressure in each tyre and sends it to the control module. This shows individual tyre pressure readings on the infotainment screen. If it detects a 4 psi or more drop, it will trigger the TPMS. I retrofitted direct TPMS in mine - it's much better and I can see real time tyre pressures any time. Easy to monitor, rather than waiting for it to trigger.

Spare wheel issue
The front wheels r both driving and steering wheels - don't put the spare on the front, AWD or FWD, unless u really have to. As to why ur car is misbehaving - makes no sense. Should b no reason for it to affect the way ur experiencing it. When I put my 16" spare on my, only the ACC was disabled, as it knew there was a spare tyre on. The TPMS will b unhappy because the spare is spinning at a different speed to the other 3 wheels.

Rear bumper diffuser
I'm far far far away from the EU - I live in Australia. Here, we pay taxes if the imported items total cost exceeds a certain amount. I don't know wat the customs/import/duties apply in ur country. Ur going to have to find that out urself.

New FL Skoda Superb 2020 tail lights - retrofit?
That's it then - hatch vs. wagon difference. The hatch has a felt/carpet like surface on the boot lid trim.

What bulbs are fitted to the S3 & upgraded bulb recommendations
No no, ur English is good and understandable. We r talking the same thing. It's more likely I've misunderstood wats fitted from factory on the L&K models in ur market. It's great u guys have that done already. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to do it the hard way. This a link to a discussion we had here many years ago....

What bulbs are fitted to the S3 & upgraded bulb recommendations
Lucky guy. U must have a unicorn in ur hands. As far as I know, the L&K models have the rear door controllers and pins for the door warning lights, but didn't have the actual door lights. Non-L&K models require the retrofit to tap into the power windows motor and a particular pin for the CANBUS signal to indicate the door is open.

New FL Skoda Superb 2020 tail lights - retrofit?
we all get the same Superb models that rollout of the Czech factory.....unless ur in Chinese/Indian/Russian market. most likely to do with Model Years. maybe only certain MY models have those holes provisioned? maybe its only on the hatch/sedan and not on the wagon/estate?
-
What bulbs are fitted to the S3 & upgraded bulb recommendations
Did u retrofit rear door warning lights on urs? None of the Superbs come with rear door warning lights - they just have dummy reflectors. I had to retrofit the rear door lights in mine.

New FL Skoda Superb 2020 tail lights - retrofit?
I just noticed today that the inside boot lid trim has access holes already to access the screws to remove the inner tailights!! Hence no need to remove the entire boot lid trim!! Skoda....simply clever

Journey Info Screen
Sadly no, it can't b done as the cluster unit is different on MY15/16/17. These r not color versions. From MY18 on, the cluster is different and in colour.

Journey Info Screen
I don't believe MY15 to MY17 have the "Journey Info" screen. MY18 onwards do have this. I don't know if this can b enabled manually.

Drivers door arm rest removal
Removing the window switch trim is actually the easiest bit out of the whole thing. Lol....the reason he's "hitting" it is because he put sound insulation in the door. Hence it was a test to hear the dampening effect.
