Mercedes Benz Radio Removal Tool

pinshape

The backlight bulb for my climate control panel had burned out and I urgently needed a "radio removal tool" to release the control panel from the console. I would require these keys to "unlock" the latches holding the radio to the console. A picture at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w210-e-class/1514205-tool-key-pull-out-radio-unit.html inspired this quick creation.

To create the keys, print them with 100% infill for added strength. Work methodically and gently to avoid any issues. The keys will latch onto the radio after a few gentle wiggles, allowing you to slide it out with minimal effort. Do not force pulling the radio out, as this could lead to further complications. Instead, use other tools to assist with removal if needed. In my case, the radio moved out very easily.
