I will try one more time, then I am going for the crowbar. Where can I buy the tool to remove the radio from 99-E300TD?

perhaps the "Parts Shop" could stock them?

Does your radio has the 4 holes protection or it simply has the two holes one?

If you have the 4 holes one, buy 4 very thin and long screw drivers and put them in and remove the radio, if you ahve the two holes version, get two 5mm wide 10cm long bars and insert them and you should be able to remove the radio.

I have 2 slim slots on sides of radio

In that case you must find two 10cm long and about 3 to 5mm large and 1mm thick thing. Try to make one yourself out of steel.

I'll bet for a 6-pack of Bud your local car stereo installer will remove it for you. They should have all the tools necessary to remove any stereo.
