How to Unlock the Radio of a Volkswagen

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Car stereo

Video tutorial

To unlock the radio of a Volkswagen vehicle, first find the serial number. In some cases, it appears on the screen when you turn it on, but it is definitely located on the back of the unit (so you will need to remove it to read the sticker).

Sometimes, you can also find this number in the instruction manual or on a card in the onboard instrumentation. Absolutely avoid entering random codes! The radio will become permanently locked! Instead, use radiocode.com, entering the serial number or the model of the radio.

The site generates the correct code securely. Once you have the code, write it down in the manual, on your phone, or on a sticker to keep in the glove compartment; in short, do not lose it again.

If you need to access hidden menus or updates, always remember to unlock the radio: some functions are not accessible while the radio is locked.

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.
