How to Remove the Original Radio and Install an Android Radio in a Mercedes CLA

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Car stereo

Let's see how to remove the original radio from a Mercedes CLA 200 and install one with an Android screen: there are two screws at the back to remove, and two connectors, then use a plastic spatula to take off the tablet base. Remove the dashboard trim and then the air vents. At the bottom of the vents, there is a screw to remove, then the rest is clipped in. Remove two more screws inside the vents, which will allow you to take the stereo out of its housing. Disconnect the electrical connectors. Connect the wires of the new screen to the plug and fit it into place. The radio shown in the video is an original Mercedes radio, which costs $559.00 on E-Bay, with the code 284879244542. Otherwise, you can find many used or compatible options online. Now, reassemble everything, first the dashboard trim, then the ventilation vents, and the job is done.
