Phone Bracket Removal
I have a 99 SLK 230, do not have phone nor do I have plan to ever get one.
I would like to remove phone bracket and cable from the center console, to make the space more usable.
Anyone have a how to?

I had a '99 that was delivered with the phone in it, but since I didn't want it (nor did I want to pay for it), the dealer took it out about a month later. What was left was about a two-inch square hole in the lower front of the inside of the console compartment. I had to put a piece of tape over the hole to keep from losing stuff in the hole.
I never looked that close, but I think it just snapped into the hole and had one or two screws in the bottom.
Good idea to recover the space. The phones in '99 models were analog Startacs that were obsolete when they were new, now they're just paperweights.
