Radio removal tool for W210

[disbo100]

Hi folks,

I have a Climate control unit in the dash I need to get out. All I have read is that I have to pull the radio out first to get to some screws/bolts.

I know you have to have the "radio keys" but has anyone had any luck with homemade tools for the radio removal?

thanks disbo

50 folks have looked at this question?

No ideas?

since nobody answered??

I went to a local Car Stereo shop and they gave me these "disposable" flat metal keys that they use for Pioneer stereos.

It took a bit of wiggling but the keys worked and depressed the button that allows you to get out the stereo or the AC unit.
