decided it is finally time to catalog all the bits n pieces I've done to Gandalf (MY17 Superb 162TSi). its been 3.5 yrs, and a lot has been done, but u wouldn't think that looking at it. below is full listing of everything I've done. all things small, and some big. Geez - there is a LOT of things!!! I didn't realise how many until I listed each & every one of them them down!!! yes, I need an Intervention hence, this is going to b a long long post - u've been warned!! firstly - a summary of all the things done, including links. This will b followed by subsequent posts of pics, and details for some of the things. things I may, or may not, do in the near future:- - ECU Tune - TCU Tune - Front Strut brace - Front End-links - illuminated front door sills enjoy, cringe or look away........

blind spot detection and rear traffic alert use the same radar, located inside the rear bumpers, one on each side. yes, its useful, and works well in real world situations.

that would b most likely referring to the Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) feature. u can have ACC without TJA. however ACC is a prerequisite for TJA to work.

This is the specific one I have..... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pair-Super-Bright-7506-1156-BA15S-LED-Brake-Reverse-Turn-Stop-Tail-Lights-Bulbs-/392980963000?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

@ope126recently had a heated windscreen retrofitted to his car.

Most definitely no. It's embedded in the car's safety systems. It's not just a Skoda thing.

I've got Auxito LED reversing bulbs in mine, for a while now. Very happy with it, and it's useful light.

I did the same thing (minus the tampon) when my driver's side headlight fogged up for the first time in 3 yrs. Removed the back cover and drove for about 30-40 mins. Cleared up after that.

Lol, thanks. It's a long list of things I've done to Gandalf!!! I'll put a thread together, one day. However most of the things I do is subtle & no one will notice anything different unless I point it out, or when compared side by side to another Superb.

There shouldn't b any wires in the spare wheel well. Looks like something aftermarket. Factory fitted tow bar wires aren't visible anywhere in the boot area.

all good @john999boy i think because the Superb already has front door warning lights, the coding might have already been in place.

i used the plastic tool they provided, and wedged it in-between. i didn't remove any part of the door. with the corners/turns - make small slits along the black rubber bit, so it allows the chrome to stay bent. otherwise it will keep trying to straighten, and hence flex out of the groove/gap.

u'll need to tap into the window motor for positive connection, and into one of the door pins as the trigger (switched ground). you can read how I did it here. mine was wired up so it only turns on when the particular rear door is open. sorry, that is incorrect. there is no plug'n'play connector, nor is there any coding required. I don't know if it also applies to L&K variants.

The alternatives r good, n do the job, but it doesn't beat OEM integration. Initially, after seeing the difficultly level on this direct tpms version, I was going to with plan b - the alternatives. But I decided to stick to my guns n go the whole hog. Happy I did.

Ah, I c ur scenario with winter wheels. Thankfully we don't have a need like that here in Oz. I'm not sure how, or if, the TPMS module is able to pair with two different sets of sensors. With regards to programming the sensors, I know that it is done via some specialist tools. Nothing ordinary. The usual suspects such as ODIS, VCP or VCDS doesn't cut it.

Nope, no coding of the sensors. e Each tire sensor had already been paired with the receiver. Plug n play. So when fitted, it knows which sensor is where based on the distance of the sensors relative to it. Hence why the receiver must b mounted right at the back.

I can see Gandalf's Pressure now!! woOot 😁 After months n months of planning, I finally retrofitted the Direct TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). It all went well and everything is working as expected. Turns out the module (5Q0 907 273 B ) was already parameterized (the VCP bit), so once I did the VCDS coding bits, it was all running. I will however need to update (via VCP) the TPMS module's parameter file so it has the right tire profiles, but it's all good now 👍 Very happy I am 😊. I'll put a write-up together, but essentially it involves:- Part 1 - TPMS Installation. Mount module under rear bumper and tap (into the blind spot radar) CANBUS Extended. Part 2 - TPMS Power. Run power source through interior trim to fuse panel up front, for constant power supply.. Part 3 - VCDS Coding of CAN Gateway, Instruments and ABS modules. Part 4 - VCP to load parameter file for TPMS module. Part 5 - Install Tire internal sensor inside tire. some pics below...... the unit is accessible from underneath the bumper - no need to remove the bumper to access it. just incase.

Yes, different tail lights.

Hmm......that's weird. Try this - https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0Oj5cv

Did u also change the headunit in the glove box? My understanding is that MIB2.5 screens require an MIB2.5 headunit to go with it.
