Replacing Air Vents on Volkswagen Passat B5-B5.5

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Air vents

Removing the air vents on a Volkswagen Passat B5 is very simple; just insert a plastic wedge into the surrounding gaps and lever them out of their housing. If this method proves difficult, insert another wedge or two into the areas where the vents are stuck (see video) until fully extracted. Once done, disconnect the side cables by pressing the appropriate tab. Fitting the new vents is done in reverse: connect the cables and insert the air vents, ensuring they are securely in place.

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.
