CD Changer Cleaning Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Car stereo

The CD changer unit on the car model shown in the video (and generally on almost all BMW models) is located in the trunk, on the side: access the trunk, remove the side carpet cover, and locate the CD changer unit; disconnect the connector and remove the screws from the support plate to take the unit out of its place; it is recommended to work on a clean surface, perhaps covered with a white cloth or a sheet of paper to keep track of any parts that may come loose during disassembly; then remove the outer covers and clean the corroded areas, using compressed air to dust off.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
