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 Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
