How To Remove Radio From A 95 E320?

[xan021]

I had to change the battery of my 95 E320 and when I tried to use the radio, it asks me for a CODE. I posted "how to get the code" and someone told me I had to pull the radio out and look at the serial #s in the back. Problem now is I am having a hard time getting the radio out. Can anyone please tell me how to take the radio out?

Thank you!!

See the two slots at each lower corner?.... you need a special pair of keys to slip into the slot and pull the radio out. The keys are available from eBay. I made my own from scrap steel.

But I don't think the radio codes are on the radio. You'll have to go to the dealer with proof of ownership for the code.

NO wait, just ask a dealer to do a VMI on the vehicle and the radio code is on that. Or just ask the dealer to get the radio code for ya, they'll know what to do. As a matter of fact i think MB might even do that through the 800 number now, they may ask a few questions to verify ownership. AND check through your owners packet, you may find the code cards in there.

Gilly's right. When I had that problem, I just called, and all they asked for was the VIN# and voila.

from the VIN.
If it's a replacment, pull the radio to get the serial number. Often someone in this Audio forum can then look up the code for you.

If a dealer replaced the radio and did their job properly, the correct code should be on VMI, plus the owner should have an updated CODE card. If you receive a code which doesn't work, then it may be time to check the radio serial number.
