Tpms affecting park assist
The TPMS only complains if the difference is 4 psi or more. Anything less than that it wouldn't care. I don't know about it affecting Park Assist, as I don't use Park Assist often, but it definitely affects ACC by disabling it if the TPMS warning is active.

Trolley jack and axle stand location
Quite likely yes those sills r trolley jack safe. I use the puck to my advantage to add height so the trolley jack lifting arm doesn't foul against the Rieger side skirts I have.

How to find out std spec of 67 plate Superb (or how to identify what options it has)
That shows less than 10% of PR codes used to build ur car. It's shows some key bits, but that's it. The Skoda Erwin report I got is 8 pages long of every PR code, based on my VIN number.

Extending the Time for Auto Stop/Start
Doesn't matter who little u feather the brakes, the start-stop cuts the engine before ur stopped. It's very annoying.
-
Extending the Time for Auto Stop/Start
Simple answer no. Long answer - u've already figured it out, that is to deactivate start-stop.

Facelift splitters
there is no difference between a Sportline front bumper and a non-Sportline front bumper. the difference is in the bumper trims (chrome vs black). it is certainly the case for the pre-Facelift. pretty sure its the same for the Facelift too.

Wireless Android Auto FL Superb III
MIB2.5 units do not have the components/hardware for wireless carplay or android auto, nor can it be enabled/coded. only MIB3 units r able to do it. Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a different thing altogether.
-
CD Player?
yes, only the Columbus units feature a HDD. my point being that a HDD existed in the glovebox units along side the cd player, sd-card and sim slots. now it appears that with the facelift models, all that is gone! which is a shame.

Trolley jack and axle stand location
My axle stand has a V-shaped head, but its only as wide as the chassis points. So no issues. I use this puck on my trolley jack. Works well, and it's not tall to compromise the trolley jack's clearance height.
-
CD Player?
The hard drive is also there on the previous MIB1(non-SSD), MIB2 and MIB2.5 units.

Trolley jack and axle stand location
i use a puck with my trolley jack - prevents the sills from getting crushed. axle stands r further in, away from the sill. c pics below. rear axle stand position (remove the plastic cover):- front axle stand position (remove plastic cover):-

Front sensors / Front assist? White v Orange Icons? Is it working?
Ur parking sensors will automatically activate when u get close to an object while traveling below 15 km/h. Auto-hold is active when it's amber. It will remember this state ever after turning the car off. Start-stop is inactive when its amber. The car will always revert to active state (not amber) everytime the car is started. Unless u've disabled start-stop, or in my case - fitted a Start-stop memory module.

VCDS options on Superb III
No one has been able to crack this one yet. It's not just a Skoda thing - same deal with VW and Audi. It's embedded in the parameter file, somewhere. Most definitely cannot b accessed or altered via VCDS or OBDEleven. Having said that, my SLA function activates at 40 km/h, not the usual 60 km/h for HBA. Prior to retrofitting the SLA headlights, my HBA used to activate at 60 km/h.

Honeycomb grill install
As @Bap33 mentioned, the lower grille is exposed indeed. U might as well mesh it too if ur doing the top grille. Getting the lower grille off is a bumper off job too.

Honeycomb grill install
There r 9 screws that hold the grille to the front bumper, and 8 tabs/clips!!! Bit overkill, but yeah, having the front bumper off will involve a lot less swearing, in order to remove & fit the grille. To remove bumper - wheels off, wheel arch liner off, disconnect washer pipe, disconnect wiring harness, remove screws - pull bumper out. be careful NOT to hit/upset/knock the ACC radar while sliding the bumper in/out. I created this how to guide on removing the front bumper. Removing Front Bumper.pdf

Rear dashcam installation
I forgot to finish writing about the bottom two pics..... .....I have a hatch, and that's a pic of the c-pillar trim removed. U bring the wire up, behind the rear seat side bolster, and up into the area shown in the pic. With the wagon, this might b different though, meaning u'll have to probably run behind the boot side trim towards the tail light, and then routing up to the boot lid hinge.

Spare wheel
Mine doesn't have any foam base on the floor. Just the foam that holds all the bits n pieces, n sits inside the tyre, as per my pic earlier.

Increasing wheel Overall Diameter by 4.9%
Sorry, ur not making any sense. As long as u got it covered According to the fuel flap, the minimum load ratings r as follows:- 215/60R16 = min 95 215/55R17 = min 94 235/45R18 = min 94 235/40R19 = min 96 I don't know what the minimum load rating for a Superb is with 20" rims, let alone 215/45R20. On the Arteon, a similar sized car to the Superb, from the VWAG family, states min 95 with 245/35R20.
-
Increasing wheel Overall Diameter by 4.9%
+1. @AIVal - have u considered the minimum load rating required for the Superb? i c ur talking about circumference/diameter, rim sizes etc etc. but i don't see anything on the load rating, which is a critical factor.

Led stripes
u need to have Smart Light Assist version of the Bi-Xenon headlights. u can tell this by popping the bonnet open and looking at the part number on top of each headlight. if it ends in B, you have the SLA capable Bi-Xenons, hence working "eye-lashes" or "whiskers". eg. 3V2941015B if it ends in A, you have the normal Bi-Xenons, which can only go as high as High Beam Assist (HBA). they do not have working "eye-lashes" or "whiskers". e.g. 3V2941015A version A headlights do not have the necessary hardware in them for the whiskers to work. i upgraded my version A headlights to version B about 2 yrs ago.

Rear dashcam installation
@Superbsport - removing the A-pillar is not difficult, its the "putting it back" bit that is tricky, because u gotta align it perfectly, and swing it in, while pushing down the bit which slides into the dash. took me a number of goes, lots of swearing & sweating, but got it in the end. this is the A-pillar trim removed. the bit on the left slots/slides in between the dash and the pillar. u can also see the two clips, which need to be aligned (while pushing down, with holes in the A-pillar), before pushing in hard to secure the A-pillar trim. u can see the existing routing inside the A-pillar here, with the airbag sitting in front. with the plastic cover on the end of the dashboard - it pops off very easily. u'll notice a small indent, which u can place a tool in to pry it out.

Gandalf's Evolution
if a device is left connected to the USB port, yes, u have to manually turn it off. in my case, we don't leave any devices in the car, so no potential for battery drain.

Rear dashcam installation
if u've got curtain airbags - do NOT run/tuck the cable between the roof liner and rubber seal as it will foul the airbags deploying properly in the event of a side impact. run the cable down along the door sill, under the plastic trim, and then back up the C-Pillar to go into the boot, and up to the boot lid. with the A-pillar, remove the trim and run the wire behind the airbag, along the existing wiring bundle.

Spare wheel
That's incorrect - 215 will always b 215mm wide, regardless of the rim width. Likewise, a 225 tyre will always measure 225mm wide. If ur overstretching the tyre by fitting it on to rim too wide for it, like 215 on 8J, then that's not normal.
