What year of 300CE? My dad has an 88 300CE, but I don't recall having to buy any special parts to remove the stock tape player. Let me check on that for you, though.

I have used two metal nail files when I was in a crunch. On the other hand, you can pick up the proper tool from the dealership for something like $10.

Out Of Control!!
As a certified installer and owner of a Benz I dont actually have a set of those keys... If you have like a set of pioneer radio removal keys you can grind them down to work... If you want me to make you a pair PM your address to me and ill send em over!!!
