Want to remove the stereo from your Volkswagen Tiguan but don't know how? Here's how to remove the original stereo from the car. First, remove the plastics on the top part of the dashboard covering with a plastic lever, then detach the central frame of the stereo (where the air vents are) along with the related clips of the control buttons.

Once the stereo is free from constraints, unscrew the securing screws on its sides.

Pull the stereo out with your hands and disconnect the cables (for power and the antenna). To reassemble, proceed in reverse.

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.
