id recommend replacing the radio, I just replaced mine, I got the radio unit from a Mercedes in my local junkyard and it was only $10, its very easy to remove and install radio unit, if you get a radio from another Mercedes make sure you get the vin of that Mercedes or try to find owners manual with radio code, if you can't find the owners manual, you need it to call a Mercedes dealer and give them vin number of "junkyard" Mercedes and get the radio code for the "new" radio, its free and it takes 3 minutes for them to give you the code over the phone.
Hi I have a 1991 500SL UK spec with a Becker Radio with a cassette. Could you tell me how to remove the radio please. Also I don’t have the code for it. Is there a factory code? I was hoping if I could get it out I could get the serial number and contact the manufacturer. I hope you can help . Cheers Kieron across the pond
Nice video... thanks. Just bought a '98 C280. Factory radio looks awful... buttons missing,,, display off color. I haven't even turned it on. It is a cassette unit, but I noticed there is a CD changer in the trunk. Do you offer a factory dash unit that is a simple R&R ? Thanks.
It's a great video thank you the only suggestion I would add is that when you removed the ground and antenna connectors your hand was in the way and the viewer couldn't really see the connections being removed. I was specifically looking for what the ground connector looked like but it's not visible. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

go to a mercedes dealership and show registration papers and they can look up 'hopefully' that was what I was told but found code written on radio manual hidden in car
