In the Volkswagen Golf, the Android radio may freeze or show various signs of malfunction. In these cases, try to resolve the issue by restoring the factory settings.

First, insert the key and turn on the instrument cluster. Then, using something like a toothpick, press the small button located in the lower right corner of the radio.

Once the display has turned off, press it repeatedly with four fingers until the "Erasing" message appears. Finally, wait for the procedure to complete.
