How do you program the key for Volkswagen?

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Key

In order to program the key of a Volkswagen, you need to insert the blank key into the ignition lock: then you can connect a diagnostic tool to the OBD port of the vehicle. This port can be found on the dashboard just below the steering column: once the scanner is connected, you need to use the VCDS program and perform the same operations shown in the video. This way the key will be correctly associated with the control unit and you will be able to use it to start and lock the car with the buttons.

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.
