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.


IIRC, Halfords do the removal tools. Basically a loop of wire. A couple of
slim screwdrivers will work - move each side out a little until the catch
disengages. There's usually enough movement in the carrier to allow the
unit to twist slightly.
