[diesel_mercedes] Re: 1986 300SDL radio removal

 


Remove the ash tray then the twp # 2 phillips headed screws holding the ash tray retainer in place , _gently_ lift it out a bit & unplug it , then put your hand into the hole palm _UP_ & grasp the rear edge of the radio , wiggle as you pull it to - wards you , _STOP_ as soon as you can see the wires and CAREFULLY grasp each wire's plug & wiggle it loose ~ pulling the wires proper will teach you how to swear like I do , not a good thing .

The " Automatic " button is to hunt for stations , the antenna switch is separate on the Facia above the radio .

DO NOT be in any hurry to discard it ! adding better speakers & an amplifier will allow you to blast crappy loud music with *perfect* clarity & so pi$$ off me and all the other grumpy old people .

Or , to get back at the kid next door by playing your Pre - War Blues or Count Basie tapes at top volume , drowning him out .
