w209 stereo command removal/refit

[lostinvegas]

How hard is it to access the back of the stereo on the W209??

I have got an Denison MP3 cradle which was installed by the previous owner. The problem is where I live radio 2 interfers with the signal from the MP3 cradles signal which uses the radios aerial. The device to change the radio frequency is behind the stereo command unit. Is it easy to take it out?

I have taken out many radios in the past but never on such an expensive car? I am fairly handy with audio devices as I work as a sound engineer but I don't want to damage anything, do I need any special tools and is there a how to anywhere?

Thanks

Chris

The toughest bit is releasing the Upper Control Panel.

Oh and the twist off connector for your gear shift might be really stiff so be careful not to get a faceful of shift....
