Operation: How to replace the cigarette lighter with a double USB socket.

For those who don't smoke, the cigarette lighter is a useless accessory. A USB port is much more useful. Let's see how to easily install it. You can find the double QC3.0 socket with voltmeter indicator shown in the video on Amazon for 15.99 euros, with LEDs in different colors, complete with all the cables for installation. Free delivery. First, remove the gearshift knob, then the top part of the screen, to expose the screws that we will remove with a torx key. In fact, we will need to remove the center console. Now, remove the 4 screws that hold the tray around the cigarette lighter in place. Remove the rear connector of the cigarette lighter and remove the piece from the tray by releasing it with a screwdriver. Now, install the USB port, securing it with its original washer. Take the power from the black (negative) and gray (positive) wires, isolating the yellow one. Take the wires from the USB port by cutting off the connectors and stripping the ends, connect male fastons to connect them to the female fastons of the 12-volt socket, black with black and gray with red. Cover them with some electrical tape. Before reassembling, do a test, of course. Then reassemble everything following the reverse scheme.

Let's see in this short and simple guide the instructions that will allow us to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all we open the front door, on the driver's side, and start pulling the opening lever of the engine hood, in order to open the lock; then let's move to the front of the vehicle and unhook the tab that we find on the central part, above the manufacturer's emblem, as shown in the video. At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
