Unhappy Facia removal

E240 2oo2 w210

Hi,
need to remove the facia panel around the radio and heater switches cos the previous owner put a handfree kit in and screwed it behind the wooden facia!
Looks like the radio needs to come out but also unsure on that too, just bought a MB CDplayer 10 so it needs to come out anyway!

By the type of car it seems you're located in Europe. It's useful for other members to be able to help you better your taking a minute to fill ou your profile information with vehicle type and location.

First thing you need is get the radio removal tools or keys that are cheap and easy to find.

It appears to me you have the manual A/C. In America these cars came with the Auto A/C only.

Hope it helps.

Cheers.

have fun,don't force,use the radio key or google how to make one,and use a good firm piece of plastic to wedge off the wood.
