Hey all, i really need help, i can't get the factory head unit out. I don't want to be rough a damage it but it just won't budge. does anyone know what to do. I have those metal keys you insert but doesn't seem to help.

 

there are two flat openings in the factory stereo where the keys should go. stick them in at a slight angle towards the outside of the car (so that the parts sticking out would theoretically touch tips if they were long enough) then swing them apart and pull at the same time.

They are marked L & R make sure they are in the correct side of the radio. when inserted they will lock in place. You won't be able to remove the keys without pulling the radio out. To remove the keys from the radio you must push a tab on each side of the radio.

 

thanks for your help guys i really appreciate it but where do you get these keys from. i don't think i got any when i bought my car.

 

Go to this web site http://www.beckerautosound.com/ you can order from them.

What i meant is, my new stereo came with keys, but the factory one doesn't. the keys from my new stereo don't seem to be the right ones for the factors unit.....? that's why i was wondering where i could get them from. I check out he sit but i didn't really help. i might just ask my "friendly" deal. thank for the help.

 

Each brand of stereo have their own kind of keys and it's better to get it from the manufacturer of your stereo. Becker is the distributor of Infinity stereo that our cars have.

 

The keys need to slide into the openings and you should feel a click once the engage. It pulls the locking springs inwards and the radio should easily slide out.

 

Call Burl toll free @ 888-423-3537 ext. 1209 and tell him you need removal keys. He is the parts guy at Becker of North America.

Suggestion- See if you have a local custom shop pop the radio for you and save purchasing keys you will only use once.

If they charge anymore the 15-20 dollars to do it, go buy the keys.... (Good Luck).

 

Can't you just go to your dealer and ask him to remove the radio? He should have the radio removal tool 3291 or it's his job to order it to remove your radio.

 

You can go to a Benz dealer and they will take it out for free.

 

Depends on the dealer! Everyone runs there business different.
