How to Replace the Radio in a Smart ForTwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Car stereo

You can replace the radio in a Smart ForTwo by opening the glove compartment located immediately below the device: once the glove compartment is open, you can insert the release keys into the now accessible holes. You will also need to insert them into the other two side holes that will already be accessible: this way, the device can be extracted by disconnecting the connectors at the back. These can then be connected to the new device to verify that everything works.

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.
