What type of infotainment do I have?
With the AAWireless, u get exactly the same experience as u do get with ur phone cabled to the USB port. As for Spotify, play via Bluetooth to ur car's infotainment. U get much control than using AUX. With Bluetooth, u can skip tracks using the infotainment and/or steering wheel controls. Likewise, u can see the song being played on Spotify.

2019 Superb 206 vs 2019 Golf R
the Superb shares many of its suspension components with the mk7 Golf, and Passat B8. if u have a 206 - get parts that suit a mk7 Golf R. if u have a 162 - get parts that suit a mk7 Golf GTi. highly recommended suspension (handling) mods:- - thicker rear swaybar - lower springs. Eibach and H&R seem to b the popular choice. if ur lowering, i recommend getting adjustable front & rear end-links, so the swaybars aren't pre-loaded. - bilstein shocks n springs, if u've got the $$$$. i was initially planning to get a set of bilstein shocks myself, but instead i re-calibrated my DCC shocks after getting Eibach springs installed. car doesn't wallow/bounce. comfort levels r great, it handles well n stays composed. super happy.

VCDS options on Superb III
Prior to My19 Correct Prior to MY19 (i think), u could get reverse camera without a washer, on a liftback/hatch. that's because u could have a hatch with no rear wiper. no rear wiper = no washer for camera. if specc'ed with rear wiper, n highline, then u got camera washer. mine is MY17, and i have the highline camera with no washer. i don't have a rear wiper. wagons on the other-hand cannot b had without a rear wiper, hence if highline, then u get camera washer too.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Fault
Not the case actually. Yes there r two versions of TPMS, but both should tell u which particular tyre is the culprit. Prior to retrofitting direct TPMS on mine, the indirect TPMS (using ABS wheel sensors) would still alert me to the specific tyre that has a tyre pressure loss. Front-left tyre highlighted in amber in the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator screen. With the direct TPMS (using internal tyre pressure sensors) now, in addition to alerting me to the specific tyre, it will also display the actual tyre pressures, so I can see "how bad" it is.

What type of infotainment do I have?
i'm not 100% sure how to tell the difference, but from what i've read before:- - if MIB3, the glovebox unit has no CD/DVD slot, nor does it have SD-Card slots. MIB2/MIB2.5 units have these. - MIB3 units support USB-C ports. MIB2/MIB2.5 units only support USB-A ports - MIB3 units support wireless CarPlay/AndroidAuto. MIB2/2.5 units do not support this natively. i don't know the part number differences.

Xenon Headlight washer retrofit - is it possible?
I don't have any close ups, but there is bunch of brackets n clips for the piping required for the headlight washers, not to mention the bracket for the washer itself. Maybe u can remove them from ur existing bumper and transfer them to the new one, so all u need to do is make the cutout for the washer.

VCDS options on Superb III
Interesting. Would b nice to find out if it's possible to enable it on the mk3 Superb. I'll hunt around, c if I can find any associated coding. I wouldn't mind it if it only beeps when attempting to change lanes with a car in the blind spot.

VCDS options on Superb III
Strange, I've never seen that "Warning sound" option before, associated to the BSM. Makes no sense. It would b very annoying if it dinged everytime a car is in ur blind spot. Normal operation is for the steering wheel to vibrate (resist) if u try to change lanes with a car in ur blind spot.

VCDS options on Superb III
1. Cannot b done. Unless u hardwire some sort of buzzer, by tapping into the BSM indicator in the wing mirror, and route into the cabin. 2. Cannot b changed. It's 3 secs, not 5 by the way. 3. Unsure. 4. Unsure.

2019 Superb 206 vs 2019 Golf R
@elfensin - yes, that's a facelift MY21 Sportline. Hence it has the leather seats, not previously available on the Sportlines here in Oz.

2019 Superb 206 vs 2019 Golf R
Sportline models come with Alcantara leather Sports seats, which r heated only. the full leather seats (offered with the Comfort Pack) r both ventilated & heated. these leather seats aren't available on the Sportline, although I believe they r now, from MY20/MY21.

2019 Superb 206 vs 2019 Golf R
Previously, we got the Superb 206, which could b optioned with leather seats (i.e. Comfort Pack). Then they introduced the Superb 206 Sportline, which meant sports seats only, hence no option for leather seats. The introduction of the 206 Sportline variant meant the death of the normal 206, here in Oz. Skoda AU wasn't interested in selling both 206 and 206 Sportline. I think it was MY17 that was the last of the non-Sportline 206 available.

Front Bumper Removal
Ur right - they're not called pop rivets. I don't wat they r actually called, apart from the fact they pop out, and look rivet like.

Front Bumper Removal
Negative, no need to replace/buy. There r only two pop rivets fasteners - above the top grille, near the bonnet latch.

Canton Speaker Rear door
If u have the Canton setup, there is a speaker riveted to the door, and another small one on the door card, next to the handle. U will need to remove the door card to access both speakers.

Front assist / ACC unavailable due to cracked grill cover
That is not a Superb ACC cover. Looks like that from another Skoda model, on the lower grille. The Superb one is in the centre of the upper grille, above the number plate. Either way, no - u don't need to recalibrate if u simply change covers. However given urs is cracked, it's likely it got knocked back far enough to disrupt the radar's alignment.
