Any tips on removing the Becker radio in my car....I just purchased a new Blaupunkt Heidelberg & CD changer for the beast.

Also, any experience in mounting the Infinity Kappa 42.5i speakers up front?

I had a stereo shop replace my Becker with a Pioneer. He only charged 15 dollars. I don't know if the Becker just pulls out or if you need a special tool.

I think the tool they use boogers up the wood. (It's a U-shaped wire that fits between the radio and the wood below.) When I'm fooling with mine, I remove the ash tray, unscrew the ashtray housing (2 sheetmetal screws), and the wood and climate control slip right down. Then you pull those 2 little clips at the bottom of the radio down and the radio pulls out.

Also, some of them have a stablizer peg on the side of the radio that might not slide out. If so, you can get to that by removing the glove box.

Replaced becker (a dog) on my 1977 450 SL with Pioneer The removal on my model reqires re,pvomg the glove nbox and there is a turn knob holding radio to frame. I dont know if this works for you but may be answer. (also remove amplifier below radiom. good luck, Abe G PS may be worth while to let radio in staller do job becuase of connections.
