If you experience issues with the radio and CD/DVD player module, the following video will show you how to disassemble it for potential repair or replacement. As you can see from the images, you must first remove the outer frame.

It is secured by four screws at each corner. The two screws at the top corners are hidden by rotating flaps.

Now that you have removed the frame, you have access, as you can see, to the screws that hold the actual unit. Unscrew the screws and then pull out the module.

On the back, you will find the connectors that need to be disconnected along with the antenna cable. Car model: Mercedes S550 Year: 2007 Required tools: Torx T20 screwdriver
