Learn how to install a USB socket on a Lancia Ypsilon MK2, which does not have the pre-installation. First, solder the two wires to the positive and negative terminals, then you need to modify the dashboard to install the USB socket; you will need to make a hole to draw power directly from the cigarette lighter socket.

Watch the video for the connection of the electrical connectors, mounted in such a way that the LED lights up when you turn on the ignition. Removing the centre console is quite simple; there are only a few screws, then just pull it out to access the electrical part.

Now you can reassemble everything for the final test. Perfect result.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
