Video tutorial

In this short video, you will see how to remove a factory radio. The only tools you need are two release keys (be careful, as some radios may require specific keys that are not universal).

In this case, each release key has two pointed ends that you will insert into the holes of the radio. Once inserted, they will lock in place, and at this point, just pull everything towards you to extract the entire unit.

Finally, disconnect the various connections attached to the back of the radio, including the antenna cable.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
