You need the correct tools, of failing that park it somewhere... (insert chosen crime area)
Seriously though your dealer may whip it out for you (fnar fnar) free of charge if you ask him nicely

Any MB dealer, though its possible that some ICE shops keep them, maybe more expensive from them.

just go into a dealer and ask to borrow the tools for 2 minutes, i did and they came out to my car and removed my radio for me free.

it's always worth asking, plus if your dealer isnt helpful, try another dealer.

cheers

you can get by with the little penknife blade

from the camper model Swiss army knife, but it is fiddly and you have to be very careful. Dealer tool is the best bet. Or check out e-bay for a Becker radio removal tool. Assuming it is a Becker of course........
