This guide explains how to remove the radio from a Golf Mk4. Use metal keys to remove the radio or non-original keys. Insert the keys into the slots on either side of the plastic trim of the radio, and pull the stereo towards you as shown in the video.

Carefully extract the radio, being mindful of the various wiring (disconnect the power connectors and the antenna cable). After removing the old radio, install the new one (either original or a generic brand).

Use adapters for non-original radios for the input and connector terminals.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

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.
