How to replace the original radio of a Volkswagen Golf MK5

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Car stereo

In this video, we will see how to change the original radio of a Volkswagen Golf MK5 with a Custom Fit Android with navigation and Bluetooth. We start by removing the cover on the top of the dashboard, so that we can move the part that contains the air vents and remove the frame covering the front of the radio. This way, we can access the four screws that secure the radio; unscrew them and remove it, disconnect the electrical connectors at the back and replace it with the device we have chosen from the countless models available in e-commerce stores.

We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
