There is a slide rail arrangement moulded into the inner dash frame that guides the radio into position and secures its location. Once these are removed the radio can be slid out of the dashboard. The radio is simply held in with 4 torx screws, one at each approximate corner location.

Once it is totally free from the retaining clips, remove the electrical connector plug from behind the hazard warning switch and place the bezel safely out of the way while you proceed to remove the radio. Pulling now from the top, carefully release the bezel from the centre console. once the upper and lower corners are free, lever between the central heater control to release the middle section clips. Insert a blunt object into the trim gap in the lower and upper corners of the bezel and lever it forward – it is fixed on clips. In doing this the radio coding issue would not be a problem as the original chassis (that worked perfectly well) would be retained and just swapping the front panels in this case was a perfect economical solution given the type of fault.įirstly prize off the console bezel that surrounds the heater, storage tray and radio. It did not matter that it would be coded to another vehicle, all I required was a radio of the same model and version to swap the damaged front panel containing the LCD display unit. To get around this problem a replacement radio was purchased from EBay for a bargain price of £35. As you will be aware the HA1111 radio is protected with a ‘PROD’ security feature and in many cases coded via CANBUS to the vehicle ECU. Although this post will primarily covers the removal of the OEM radio, removal of several other dashboard components is also documented, these were required to gain access for the installation of a fleet vehicle tracking system.Īs you can see the original display to this HA1111 Sprinter radio had been damaged, I was unable to find the replacement parts to carry out a repair to the LCD so an alternate method of repair was chosen. Removal of the integrated radio/CD Player from the later model Mercedes Sprinter (NCV3) and VW Crafter models is quite straight forward and easily carried out with the minimum of tools.
