Most have used a standard 'DIN' connector for the last 20 years or so. Can
be more of a problem if it has steering wheel controls.

Thanks Dave. think the first step is to get the removal tool, so That
I can at least slide the existing radio out, and see what lurks behind.
No steering wheel controls to worry about.

But if you gave the make and model of car someone may have more info.

Car is a 1998 Mercedes C200 Esprite, and the radio/cassette is Blaupunkt
Como RCM 148.

Personally I hate things plugged into the fag lighter - they always seem
to get in the way of driving the car. ;-)

Agreed! It means having the ash tray flap open, but could be the way to
go.
