Video tutorial

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 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.
