Use a dedicated plastic pry tool to pry open the edges of the storage box trim panel and remove it. Unscrew the screws beneath the storage box and use a pry knife to remove the decorative strips on both sides. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws from the central control panel, then hold the main unit with both hands and remove it. Remove the two screws fixing the frame on both sides, pass the dedicated power cable and DVD cable of the car navigation system through the middle of the two air vents, and lay out the GPS antenna. Connect the main power and communication cables of the car navigation system; connect the GPS antenna and fix the car navigation system onto the original CD main unit, then secure the fixing screws.

I've tried modifying the car navigation several times, and the most straightforward way is to buy a new navigation system and install it yourself. First, pick a device online that's compatible with your car model, and prepare wrenches, screwdrivers, and plastic pry tools. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid short circuits, then carefully remove the factory center console panel without damaging the clips. Connect the new navigation's power cables and GPS antenna, ensuring everything is securely fastened. After installation, power it on to test the screen and maps, then update the software to finish. It usually takes two to three hours and saves a few hundred dollars, but be careful not to interfere with the steering wheel control buttons or trigger error codes. Watch tutorials before starting, and choose a higher-quality brand head unit to reduce risks.

Be cautious when modifying the navigation system. I've seen cases where incorrect wiring caused module burnout. It's best to have it done by a professional modification shop—they have the expertise to avoid mistakes and can also debug compatibility issues. DIY attempts carry high risks, potentially voiding warranties or even causing electrical leaks. When choosing equipment, don't just go for the cheapest option; ensure it supports expansion features like Bluetooth or CarPlay. For safety, always check if airbags function normally after installation, and consider adding fuse protection for the circuit if necessary.

Where is the car with the license plate starting with 'Pu' from?

Currently, there are no license plates that start with 'Pu'. Below is relevant information about license plates: 1. The representation method of a license plate number consists of the abbreviated name of the province + the letter code of the prefecture-level city + a 5-digit license plate number. 2. License plates are used for numbering and information registration of vehicles. Their main purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs through the license plate, and the owner of the vehicle as well as its registration information can also be traced based on the license plate. 3. The first character of the license plate represents the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, and the second character represents the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is indicated by the respective letter codes.

Why is there a hump in the rear seat of Volkswagen cars?

The reason for the hump in the rear seat of Volkswagen cars is: to maintain the flatness of the chassis. Since the car chassis is equipped with an exhaust pipe or drive shaft, rear-wheel-drive vehicles typically need to transmit the engine's power to the rear wheels through the drive shaft, which structurally requires such a hump. Taking the Volkswagen Lavida 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The Volkswagen Lavida 2021 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It adopts a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.

Are Cars Afraid of Freezing in Winter?

Cars parked outside in winter are definitely susceptible to freezing. Frost and ice will form on the windshield, obstructing visibility. Winter car care tips: 1. Waxing: Applying wax in early winter is an excellent way to protect the car's paint. Wax forms a protective layer on the paint surface, reducing the likelihood of frost and ice buildup. 2. Changing engine oil: Lower viscosity grades of engine oil have better fluidity. In winter, the low temperatures cause the same grade of oil to flow more slowly than in summer, potentially increasing wear on pistons and cylinders. Therefore, remember to switch to a lower viscosity grade oil in winter. 3. Using anti-fog spray: Due to the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car in winter, fog and frost can form on the windshield, impairing visibility and increasing the risk of accidents. Keeping a bottle of anti-fog spray handy and applying it evenly to the windshield before locking the car at night will make driving easier the next morning.

What is the procedure for replacing a damaged license plate?

License plate damage should be addressed by visiting the vehicle management office to replace and obtain a new license plate. Below is an introduction to the method for replacing a damaged license plate: 1. Personal application: Bring your original ID card and a copy, the vehicle's registration certificate, the vehicle's driving license, and the damaged license plate to the motor vehicle business hall of the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. Fill out an application form completely, pay the fee, and you can apply for a replacement. You can receive the new license plate within three days at the latest. 2. Authorized agent application: If you cannot be present in person, you can sign a power of attorney (requiring signatures from both parties) to authorize someone else to handle the procedure on your behalf. The agent must bring the original ID cards and copies of both parties, the registration certificate, and the driving license when applying.

Should You Shift to P or N Gear at a Traffic Light?

Shift to N gear at a traffic light. Below is a detailed introduction to car gears: 1. R gear (Reverse gear): When this gear is engaged, the hydraulic system's reverse oil circuit is connected, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Never force the shift into "R" gear when the vehicle is not completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 2. N gear (Neutral gear): When neutral is engaged, the planetary gear system idles without power output. 3. D gear (Drive gear): When the gearshift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control system automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening and vehicle speed signals. It can automatically shift up or down with changing speeds, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 4. P gear (Parking gear): This uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating part of the car's tires, preventing the vehicle from moving.
