Auto Headlights
@Dean391- u'll need to enable High Beam Assist (HBA) via vcds or obdeleven. Provided ur car has the correct A5 camera, the high beams will then automatically dip when an oncoming car, or trailing behind a car is detected.

Superb Sportline - standard spec vs options
if its the "sporty look" ur after, but all the L&K bells and whistles, u can get an L&K and then:- - change (or plastidip) all the chrome bits (front grille + window surrounds) to black - change the wing mirror covers to black cover - change/swap the wheels to Sportline versions - shocks/springs combo if u want to finish the look the interior is a different story though and much harder to change as u get the following in the Sportline but not L&K:- - flat bottom steering wheel (u can retrofit this) - blackened interior roof-line and pillars (don't bother retrofitting this one) - alcantara door cards (u can retrofit this if u find a donor car) - sport seats - performance monitor on the infotainment (u can't retrofit fit this) .....now, this is the part i hide cause all the Sportline owners r going to start throwing projectiles my way!!!!

Reverse Light Bulb Upgrade
I replaced both the reversing and indicator bulbs on mine (MY17) with LED ones from Auxito. They're CANBUS friendly and throw no errors. Nor is any coding required. Much brighter. Video comparison of the LED indicators:-

Windscreen wiper behaviour
Unfortunately with MY17 onwards there is no more long coding for 09-Electrics. It's all via adaptations now. So that thread doesn't help :-( I went through all my front wiper related adaptations in 09-electrics and I couldn't find anything related to park with ignition off. no luck.

Windscreen wiper behaviour
yes, mine does that too - if u switch the ignition off while the wipers r midway through wiping, it will stop mid-sweep!! it is annoying really. would be nice if it completed the sweep and returned to base, or park position. mine is MY17.

Adaptive light error after changing Xenon Bulbs – error code C107E54
hmmm....something is not right as simply changing the xenon bulbs should not upset anything, nor should it require any "learning". i've changed the xenon bulbs in mine without any issues. did u accidentally disconnect something else? are all the power and light control modules seated correctly on the headlight itself?

How to Guide - Superb 3 OEM Intake Mod
@defiant- I reckon it's to do with meeting emissions and not being "noisy" as that's not wat moat "customers" want. But yes, baffles me why they make the air work so hard to get to the turbo inlet.

How to Guide - Superb 3 OEM Intake Mod
@boydeee- I had a go at trying to remove the top plastic bit to access the back of the grille - but it was going to b a pain in the a55 and given that I didn't know wat challenges I was about to face with the blocked off panel bit, it was going to b a far better working space with the bumper off.

How to Guide - Superb 3 OEM Intake Mod
For those of u who have heard of the MK7 Golf GTi Intake Mod, I did a similar thing to my Superb's air intake, by opening up the blocked off bits on the right side. However, with the Superb, doing this alone won't be as effective due to the design of the front grille and the plastic moldings behind it. The reason for this is because top half of the Superb's grille is actually blocked across, with air only allowed to enter through the bottom half. This means the air going into air intake is restricted by two openings feeding the intake. For it to be effective, you need to also unblock the right side opening that sits behind the grille. This will allow a more direct air flow, meaning a happier turbo and hence better performance combined with my CTS turbo inlet elbow, silcone pipe and aFE Magnaflow air filter - it not only feels better, but it sounds good too. I won't explain how to modify the actual front air intake as there are plenty of YouTube videos on it. This will show the modification required specific to the Superb, that remove the restriction caused by the blank plate. Mine is a 162 TSi (220). The same would apply for the 206 TSi (280). Unfortunately there is no other way to make this mod, but to remove the entire front bumper in order to open up the blocked off panel. The top black plastic cover is fixed to the top of grille, hence can't remove that to access it. The entire grille is fixed to the bumper, hence can't remove that to access it. so its a whole bumper off job. again, i won't explain how to remove the bumper, but its a wheels off, wheel arches off and underbody skid plate separated job. below are some pics. this is the bit i'm referring to - from factory the right side is closed:- left side open:- right side closed:- the air flow on the left is unobstructed, and flows up and into the intake, most of the air going into the engine bay (as the back is open), and the rest travelling right towards the air intake box. this is the end result, i made holes in the panel on the right, thus enabling air flow to go directly up and into the air intake. Comparison of before and after. originally my intention was to move that blocking plate, so it looks like the one on the left. but it is one piece with the entire black plastic. only way was to cut it out. unfortunately again, that black plastic is metal riveted to the frame surrounding the bonnet release bracket. grrrr. so i went with plan B and drilled holes. finished product - sleeper factory look factory the only giveaway being the silicone intake hose pipe.

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

Skoda Connect pairing
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.

Rear wiper not working since reverse camera fitted
doesn't the rear wiper only spring into action, when u reverse, if the wiper stalk is set to auto, and its actually raining?
-
Automatic break
Nope, definitely not in MY17, as I have one myself. As I said before - from MY18 onwards.
-
Automatic break
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.....
