Skoda Voice Commands is turning on when connecting Android Mobile Phone
I used to have this on rare occasions too with my wired Android Auto - like u, turning on and off the Skoda voice assistant fixed the music volume control. Now with my wireless android auto, using AAWireless, I haven't had this issue since.

Wheel spacers?
Doing the DCC recalibration on mine fixed the last remaining floatiness and crashy bounces that the Eibachs couldn't eliminate. It's great now.

JB4 VS APR Stage 1 tune
APR Stg 1 tune for the 206 Superb is now $899, permanently. Not a special/sale price. The 162 is now $799. I got it done in Feb this year - loving it.

Can anyone with a 2.0 TSI 220 factory spare wheel tell me the size?
Ah geez......I should probably speak in a language other than English! As I previously mentioned - from factory, if optioned, the 220 comes with a 16" rim, wearing 205/55R16 tyres. 1G4 is the PR code. If u want to match rotational speeds with a 16/17/18 rim - then u can continue reading the debates.........

Can anyone with a 2.0 TSI 220 factory spare wheel tell me the size?
I've got a 235/40R19 tyre as spare - it has only raised the boot floor by about 2-2.5 cms, and with a 15mm thick foam underlay on the underside of boot floor carpet, it's barely noticeable with it in place. No protrusions.

Can anyone with a 2.0 TSI 220 factory spare wheel tell me the size?
the mk3 220 does not come with 340mm disc brakes up front. it has 312mm front disc brakes - 1ZA (PR Code). it has 300mm rear disc brakes - 1KU (PR Code) the 16" factory spare fits over the front brakes with no issues.

Can anyone with a 2.0 TSI 220 factory spare wheel tell me the size?
The 220 comes with a 16" spare from factory, wearing a 205/55R16, like this.... Mine normally wears factory 19s. I've recently put a full sized 19" as a spare.

Steering wheel vibration on R19 wheels
steering wheel vibration at any speed is NOT normal. any Skoda Service Centre that tells u that is normal is incompetent n must have their license revoked!!!! i have 19s on my Superb (220 FWD), and i've driven plenty of times at speeds higher than 110km/h, for hours, with no issues/vibrations. something is not right with ur car. either the tyres r not balanced, or alignment, or something else worse.

Superb estate MY16, weird memory seat behaviour
I remember reading a while ago that seat memory will never store at the absolute lowest point. Likewise, it won't at the absolute highest. Something to do with protecting the mechanism. It's not just with Skoda - VW models do it too.

Roof bars for hatch with no rails?
I use Pro Rack roof racks to carry the bike racks. Easy to fit/remove and adjust. It's not the 'aero' version, so it does get a bit noisy when driving at speed. Bought it back when I had my mk2 Octavia RS liftbacks. I can use it on the Superb now.

Android 11 & Android Auto Wireless
My AAWireless fits nicely inside the slot located under the armrest console storage area. With flap down, u'd not know its there.
-
Android 11 & Android Auto Wireless
mine is up an running within 20-30 secs after firing the car up. happy with that, as its ready to go before the car had dropped from its cold idle speed. sounds like u need to apply the latest OTA update.

Android 11 & Android Auto Wireless
Unfortunately the USB port remains live in Skoda. However my AAWireless unit turns off after the default 20 secs. I can configure it to whatever I want it to b, in milliseconds, under the AAWireless app settings. I'm thinking of changing it to 10 secs.

Android 11 & Android Auto Wireless
+1, I received mine today. Was very easy to setup and it's working very well. I've got an MY17 with an MIB2 unit, paired with a Google Pixel 5. Well worth the wait.

How-to: DCC Recalibration
Bugger, that's a shame. I can definitely feel the difference with mine now. Prior to that I had DCC set to Sports all the time, except when driving on long highways/freeways, then I'd use Comfort or Normal. Now my DCC is always on Normal setting. I hardly use Sports. I can notice the difference going over the same speed humps and same undulating roads. It's far less bouncy and far more composed. Maybe the difference is more pronounced on non-Sportline DCC shocks, compared to Sportline DCC shocks.

Dashcam fitment.
Mine is mounted below the A5 Camera. It's not visible from the driver's seat. I went along the roof liner, down the A-pillar and into the fuse panel behind the glovebox.

2018 superb sportline
Hahahaha.....I'm not OCD like that. .....but recently I've noticed the tyre pressure in my left front consistently gets higher (2 psi more) quicker than the other 3 after I hit a nasty pothole a few weeks ago. They also start at the same pressure - 36 psi all round. I think think I need an alignment done. I wouldn't have picked this up if it weren't for the direct TPMS.

Bilstein B6 DCC shock absorbers available at last
That's related to the DCC re-calibration. I did it recently (U can read about it here), and it's transformed the car's ride/suspension. The DCC shocks work so beautifully now with the Eibach Springs. Initially I was considering to get the Bilstein shocks in the near future. Now that I've done this, I'm pleased. Not looking at getting the Bilsteins anymore. I wish I had found out about the DCC re-calibration a long time ago.

2018 superb sportline
As @langers2k mentioned, the TPMS hardware won't b fitted from factory. Plus ur wheels won't have the TPMS sensors. I'd assume it can b retrofitted to ur Karoq as it's not a module that requires component protection. The same TPMS module has been used in the Kodiaq. The same TPMS module is also used in a handful of VW models. I'm just not sure how different the coding and adaptations will b with the MIB3.

2018 superb sportline
got my TPMS kit (1x module, 4x sensors, 1x wiring) from AliExpress. cost me approx. $190 AUD for it. got a tyre place to put the sensors in each tyre for approx. $20 each. as @langers2k mentioned, i did the install myself. u can read about it here. its not an "easy task", but its doable. i did this as a COVID-19 project retrofit.

What have you done to your Superb III today?

2018 superb sportline
@defiant- no, it won't do that. the alarm gets triggered when the pressure, in any tyre, drops 3 psi or more from the preset value (the value in brackets shown in the pic i posted above). those preset values come in different sets/profiles. the one shown in the pic is "Standard" profile where i've set the preset pressures to be 38 psi all round. the actual reading is shown outside the brackets, in this case the tyres r reading 36 psi. if it drops below 35, it will set off the alarm. i've got 3 profiles loaded:- - Comfort (set to 34 psi) - Standard (set to 38 psi) - Fully Loaded (set to 41 psi) u can switch between each profile by clicking the drop down arrow.

2018 superb sportline
Is that for the new facelift Superb? Maybe it's a factory option now. I retrofitted it to my MY17 Superb - works as shown in pic.
-
2018 superb sportline
It is how VAG keep the delineation between Audi, VW, Skoda & Seat. Nothing new about this marketing strategy. If fitted (direct TPMS) in a VW or Skoda - it will only show the actual tyre pressure. The same thing fitted in an Audi will show the temperature of each tyre, in addition to the pressure.

MY17 Superb SLA Headlights Upgrade - Help
The pre-facelift Superb comes with:- - halogen setup headlights - bi-xenon with DRL setup headlights - bi-xenon with DRL & SLA. The facelift Superb is a different design, requiring a different bumper. It uses LED lighting instead of bi-xenons. Someone with a pre-facelift has done this retrofit. I don't know wat was involved. As @SashaGracementioned - it's a massive job to retrofit bi-xenons. Too many other components involved like:- - AFS leveling sensors. 2x upfront,1x rear. - AFS module. - 2x AFS slave modules - wiring harnesses - upgraded BCM module I would recommend upgrading the halogen bulbs to better rated ones.
