Removing the Original Car Radio

Model: Mercedes Classe E W210 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Car stereo

Following simple guidelines, replacing your original car radio is not that difficult. Just insert keys into the sides of the radio to release the internal clips and pull it out. It is advisable to use keys instead of makeshift tools for the extraction process, as these could damage some components of the radio. Once the radio is removed from its housing, disconnect the connectors attached to the back and pull them out. Do the same with the antenna by disconnecting the cylindrical black connector.
