How to remove and install the radio in a Volkswagen New Beetle

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Car stereo

In this video we can see how to remove and install the radio of a New Beetle: we will need the appropriate keys, which we can find for example on Amazon with the code B07GVPNPVR at the price of 9.99 euros, including delivery costs. We insert the keys, and we will hear a "click" which means that the spring has been released, then we pull the key outwards to unlock the radio. Disconnect the antenna and electrical connectors. Now we remove the keys and reconnect the antenna, power connector, speaker connector and AUX-IN. Insert the radio into its housing - sometimes it is necessary to pull the cables from below - push it all the way in and turn it on. It enters SAFE mode, so it is necessary to enter the 4-digit code: with the 1 button we enter the first row of numbers, with the 2 button the second and so on. Confirm with the right arrow.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. 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.
