There's your answer dude.. you need keys from Mercedes to pull out the stereo. I'm taking bets from anyone here. 5 bucks says this guy either cuts a fiber-optic line or reverses the polarity of the speaker wire he cuts. Isn't the amp in the trunk for this car anyway?

Wish I could help, sorry about all the less than helpfull answers, some people just like to be rude instead of helpfull. Send an email to someone that knows a lot about this. His forum name is Scorchie and he is usually quite helpfull.

OK, I'll apologize for being a jerk in the posts I made to your queries, but...

Seriously.. you need to go to a stereo installation place.. You're asking a question with every step of the installation. After you get a wiring diagram, are you going to post a question about cutting the wires? Then a post about running wires the trunk? Perhaps, after that, a post about how to set the gain on your amplifier?

Honestly, you didn't need to take out your head unit. If you wanted, you could have spliced off the speaker wires in the trunk area for your rear speakers... does you car have speakers in the rear deck lid?
