Unscrew the two screws located at the top of the central dashboard after removing the small plastic drawer. Once the screws are removed, you can detach the air vent trim.

This will free up access to unscrew the two upper screws of the radio. Remove its surround and unscrew the additional four screws now exposed.

Done! At this point, all that remains is to pull out the radio and disconnect its rear connector. For the installation of the new radio, simply proceed in reverse order.

This is a fairly straightforward operation.

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.
