i did the opposite, and removed the front chrome trim on the lower grille and plasti-dipped it to black.....

replies above in red......

Doesn't do much on mine......

Nope, we don't get that here in Australia. We don't have the infrastructure setup for it.

i launch the Skoda Connect app first on my phone, before connecting the cable as that launches Android Auto. the app will connect/pair in the background at some point while ur driving. if ur desperate, once android auto is running, on ur phone, keep hitting the "home" button, then launch the Skoda Connect app. make sure u don't disconnect the cable at any point.

doesn't the rear wiper only spring into action, when u reverse, if the wiper stalk is set to auto, and its actually raining?

Nope, definitely not in MY17, as I have one myself. As I said before - from MY18 onwards.

Manoeuvre Assist, where it brakes for u during slow speed parking, was introduced from MY18. Prior to that, it will let u hit that bollard or wall or parked car.....

I retrofitted the Superskoda Sportline rear diffuser to mine to match the rest of the chrome bits n pieces.

been 2 days now with the start-stop memory module in place and its been great so far! no errors. it remembers the last state of the start-stop each time i start up. i can use start-stop when i'm in heavy traffic. win-win.....perfect!!

It's a chrome strip roll that is designed to slot between the cracks. So I trimmed this to fit. AU $6.09 49%OFF | Car Interior Decorative Thread Stickers Trim Strip For Ford Focus 2 3 Fiesta Mondeo Kuga Citroen C4 C5 Skoda Octavia Rapid Fabia https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLhM0EF

So I gave my door handles a "facelift", just like the ones found in the Superb facelift.......but it only cost me $6 for the roll, from AliExpress 😉

Swapped the pins, as @MartinB explained, n its looking good now!! woOot. Haven't gone for an actual drive, but it seems to b remembering the start-stop state.

There are 2 versions of Columbus:- - MIB2 with buttons on the side - MIB2.5 without buttons (from MY18 onwards) Mine is MY17.

Thank u @RomanB. I've told 1433 is the latest for MIB2, which is wat i have. 1440 is for MIB2.5, so no good for mine.

@RomanB - thanks for this, however i can't seem to find the firmware (MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3343 MU1433) for my MIB2 Columbus. do you know which folder its in?

I didn't get any errors either even when I correctly swapped pins 1 & 7. Instead certain buttons stopped working. Will try swapping the correct pins today n see how it goes.

So u have Version B headlights with the green circular retaining clip? If so, the green clip comes out with the D3S bulb. U must twist (green clip with bulb together) slightly, then unclip to release n pull out. The reverse to put it back in. It's a PITA to put it back though cause placement needs to b precise, otherwise the green retaining clip won't close/hold. Or do u have Version A with the white circular look and metal spring clips? If so, squeeze the metal pins together, and simply pull the D3S bulb out. Good luck.

@MartiniB - I too bought one of these devices many weeks ago, from wat is likely the same seller on AliExpress. Initially I ordered the wrong version - one suited for the Chinese Superb. Contacted seller n got the right version sent. Installed it - nothing happens, i.e. it doesn't remember the start-stop states after ignition off, despite "changing" between modes. Spoke to the seller, n they suggested I swap pins 1 & 7 on their device. Did that, made it worse as start-stop button and Traction Control button stopped working. Removed the device. Seller asked me to now swap pins 1 & 6. I said no thanks, give me my refund. I'm not keen on testing. Seller has sent me another one, with the "correct wiring". It's in transit currently. This one better work plug'n'play.

So I was curious n got Gandalf an ECS Diverter Valve Spacer, to get some turbo whooshes. The installation was easy - took me less than 10 mins. The results - not loud at all. In fact, u hardly hear it most times. It's discreet and doesn't draw any unwanted attention 😊 If the car was tuned to a Stg 1 or 2, or if it were a Manual, then it would've been heard a lot more louder. Or maybe a CAI too. It's not designed to give an performance gains. Nonetheless, happy with it 👍

ok, let's put some closure to this topic, also for future references as there have been a number of various people reach out for help on doing this retrofit. below is summary of what needs to be done, from start to finish:- swap out version A headlights and put in version B headlights install 4H0 941 329 power modules into the version B headlights transfer the 4G0 907 397 Q power modules from version A headlights to version B headlights transfer 8K0 941 597 B ballasts from version A headlights to version B headlights transfer D3S bulb from version A headlights to version B headlights, utilizing the retaining ring 8P0 941 621. do the appropriate adaptations in 09 Central Electrics Go to Adaptations Search for: Fernlicht_assistent-Menuesteuerung Fernlichtassistent Change to "Present" Fernlicht_assistent-Menuesteuerung Fernlichtassistent Werkseinstellung Change to "Present" Fernlicht_assistent-Erweiterte_Fernlichtsteuerung Change to "AFS: FLA: Fernlicht (GLW:MDF)" do the appropriate coding in A5 Frt.

Optical dual headlight Module with Dynamic high beam Function (MDF). Unlike the AFS headlamp, the MDF dual optical headlamp module is equipped with an intelligent rotary shutter drive, which can be coordinated with the front camera and control electronics for dynamic high beam control. With SLA function, bi-xenon headlight driving light modules are constantly active. Based on the traffic information in front of the vehicle obtained by means of a camera mounted behind the windscreen, the light beams of the headlights are shielded in areas where they can cause other drivers to be blinded. In this case, the driver's field of vision is much better lit, which allows the driver to better navigate in space, providing a higher level of safety. SLA function is realized by means of installation of rotary blinds between xenon gas-discharge lamp and diffuser. In combination with the intelligent rotation drive of the entire module (provided by the adaptive lighting system rotation function when driving along a curved path) and the individual control of the left and right headlights, this additional shielding allows to close the light only in those areas that are potential sources of blinding.

Hi @pab567 - do u know wat the latest version the Columbus MIB2 is running? mine is currently:- - Device part number: 3V0035045D - Hardware: H50 - Software: 0942 i believe there is an update for the MIB2.5 units - v1440. Thanks in advance :-)

It's likely one of the inner securing tabs on that corner is not in place properly. Also, ur parking on the sensor is not flush with the surface of the diffuser. I have also bought the SuperSkoda Sportline diffuser and fitted (about 2 yrs ago) it to mine.....

Finally washed after many many weeks n weeks!! Also, I was feeling a bit "foggy" - so I vinyl tinted it in light smoke black, and got fog light frames 😊 Next I'll b vinyl tinting the rear tail lights in light smoke black too. They r however more complicated to do with complex lines n curves.

U'll know u have DCC when u select the Driving Mode and u have Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport and Individual modes. Or physically looking at the shocks to c a tube/cylinder (size of a small redbull can) sticking out the side of the shock itself. Enjoy ur new ride 👍
