To modify the instrument cluster of your Volkswagen Tiguan, use the OBD11 device, which you can find on Amazon starting from £49.99 (including delivery). It connects to the EOBD socket located near the footwell.

Once you have plugged the device into the socket, open the application on your smartphone. By default, the first thing this application does is scan all control units for any errors, which - if they are minor - can be cleared by you. Now, let’s focus on the coding of interest.

To display the "R-line" text, go to "Control Unit", select control unit 17, then choose "Adaptation" and in "Search" type "R logo", select the one you like and confirm. Once you have chosen the logo you prefer, confirm and you can exit the application.

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.
