Question about head unit and grill for CLK430

I have a 2000 CLK430. I need to know if the head unit has a headphone jack on it. I'm trying to hook my Alpine Blackbird navigation system to it. I don't want to buy the Alpine docking station because it's $200. But I do already have the cradle for it that includes a (crappy) fm transmitter feature.

Anyway, either way I need to know how to remove the head unit. I've removed several head units but I can't figure out how to get this one to pop out. Any tips?

Secondly, I was wondering how hard it is to install one of the sport grills on a CLK. I want to remove the emblem that sticks up on the hood and get a White Star badge. But in addition, I want the grill with the MB emblem in it.

Any help on either of these subjects would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you have COMAND, you have the jack. If not, you don't.

To remove the radio, slip these two tools into the slots on the radio and it'll come right out.



They are about $10 at most places.

I have a relatively new CL-style grill for the W208 for sale. It takes about 10 minutes to install it (approximately 8 screws). I paid around 150 plus shipping for it, but I'll let it go for $100 if you want it. PM me if you are interested.

I also have a flat star emblem (not the white one though) for sale for $15.00.
