VCDS options on Superb III
No, u can't change at wat speed HBA activates, or deactivates. It's embedded in the parameter file, which can't b modified. U can however change the speed of when the cornering lights activate/deactivate.

Superb facelift conversion
SLA headlights r the Xenon version of the Matrix LED headlights. in other words, SLA headlights does the masking/shaping of the high beams, avoiding on-coming traffic. unlike Matrix LED, SLA uses special rollers to shape the beam. u'll know if u have SLA if ur headlights does this specific dance pattern, in the video below. or if u lift the bonnet & check the physical part number on the headlights themselves. if it ends with "B", then u have SLA headlights. there r two types of Bi-Xenons - normal and SLA versions. as for who does it - these guys do it - Auto-prestavby they're based in CZ. there is a discussion here that talks about it. -

Superb facelift conversion
It is doable, and there is a company (in Europe) that offers this conversion. They also do rear facelift conversions too. I forgot the name/link. For the front, u'll obviously need a FL bumper, FL Headlights, FL Foglights, FL grille, and other associated hardware brackets. I'd imagine the wiring harness would b different. U'll definitely need coding done and a new parameter file uploaded. If u don't currently have SLA headlights, then u'll need different LCMs (light control modules). Doable..... but there is a lot involved. Won't b plug n play.

Windows opening themselves
I find the feature (open/close windows remotely) very very handy and use it a lot. If u don't like it - u can turn it off in the "Opening and Closing settings" in the Car Settings. Change the Window operation "Convenience Opening" to either Off, All Windows, or just the Driver's window.

Rear arb / sway bar upgrade
1. you may want to be careful with upgrading the front sway bar on front wheel drive cars because too much stiffness in the front can cause the inside front wheel to lift. Because the front tires are putting power to the ground, this would drastically affect the car's grip and handling in a negative way 2. I put 25.4mm rear swaybar - comfort has not been compromised one bit with the DCC setup. 3. Eibach, H&R, Whiteline. Eibach only sell them as a set - i.e. front & rear. I've got a Hardrace rear swaybar. They also make a AWD version.

Electric Parking Brake
my apologies - ur correct. i got my wires crossed. Autohold (A) bares no effect on the parking brake. i was meant to say that make sure the parking brake (P) symbol is illuminated orange. this will engage the parking brake when u put the car in park, and turn the ignition off. likewise, it will automatically turn off the park brake when u get in, and drive off - no need to release it. u enable it by pulling up the park brake till the orange light is on. if the parking brake is not illuminated, then the parking brake will not automatically engage/disengage. @MarkyG82 - no, autohold function does not use the park brake. it uses regular disc brakes.

Dash Cam/ front assist not working
@Gogul95 - when u say Front Assist Fuse - wat fuse location is this? i can't see anything in the dashboard fuse layout that refers to front assist. do u know if this fuse location is switched power or permanent power? most of us, including myself have used fuse location #47 - Rear window wiper. its switched power, so the dashcam will power on and off with the ignition.

2017 Superb SE L Executive with sound generator?
as far as i know, the Superb does not come with the Soundakator device - in any model! so i don't understand why ur shows "Standard electronic engine sound" in ur build spec. wat year and model is ur Superb? do u have iV? if so, then that would make sense.

Lowering springs install on a 280/272 Sportline - DIY and results
Yes, 162 kW = 220 bp. Just like 206 kW = 280 bp. Maybe the 162/220, being a FWD, has a different rear axle setup to the 206/280 due to the AWD. But then again, @NewBie has a 272. I highly doubt the rear track would've changed between 272 and 280 variants.

Navigation "compass" greyed out
Definitely no internet connection. Nothing to do with GPS signal.

VCDS options on Superb III
yes, ur correct. if i remember correctly - he altered the amount of lumens at which it reacts to. the light sensor is triggered by the amount of lumens it picks up, to determine how much light is there, and hence when to turn the lights on/off. in theory, if u reduce the trigger point of the amount of lumens, then it will wait till its much darker before turning on the lights. however, the same settings in the morning, will turn off the lights much earlier.

How bad are Pirelli P7's ?
my factory Pirelli P7 Cinturato lasted 50,000 kms, with no signs of cracking whatsoever. they weren't the best tyre u could get, but they weren't bad either. i still had another 3mm or so in them before they would've worn out, but there was a good tyre deal on - i went with a wider tyre size because it was significantly cheaper.

Lowering springs install on a 280/272 Sportline - DIY and results
Tis the same for me - my rears have a slightly wider track than than the front, or the fender is more outwards on the front. When I switched to 245 wide tyres, running 15mm spacers, my rear tyres started to scrape, on compression, against the fender. The front has no issues. I'm now running 10mm spacers at the rear. It still looks as flush as the front wheels. p.s. mine is a 220, with factory 19s.

Was Android Auto Support an optional extra or included on some models?
Early MIB3 models did wireless CarPlay only. Wireless Android Auto came later. I don't know why.....

Anyone dead set on Sportline estate, but then changed to an L&K and glad you did ?
I love the "elegant business class" look of the L&K model. The extra bells n whistles u get r a nice touch. Apart from the sport seats, flat-bottom steering wheel, black trim & wheel design on the Sportline trim, the L&K gets the same things, plus more, as standard. We don't get the L&K model here in Oz, but the cars come specced like an L&K with the Tech & Comfort packs. This is my slightly less elegant look.....

Gandalf's Evolution
Got it for dirt cheap from a person who bought it a while ago from Kopacek, but wasn't feeling confident to do the install. Cost me less than a third than if I were to buy it from Kopacek now, which is on a special price. Otherwise I wouldn't have got it, at the "normal" price. So it was an opportunity I couldn't pass.

Manœuvre and front assist
Well here in Oz, I remember distinctly that the Manoeuvre Assist was introduced from MY18. Not long ago, I was reverse parking, very slowly, got distracted by adjusting the door side distance, that I hit the retaining wall, at a very very slow speed. Minor scratches that I touched up with factory paint. No Manoeuvre Assist stopped me. There is no Manoeuvre Assist menu anywhere in my Infotainment. Likewise, I've scanned with OBDEleven, and I certainly don't have the expected Manoeuvre Assist adaptations or associated coding.
