Hi folks,

I have a 2002 Mercedes CLK-320, and I have a couple of problems with the
(stock) stereo.

1) I just changed the car battery, and now the readout on the stereo just
says "CODE" and doesn't play anymore. Apparently, disconnecting the battery
wipes out the stereo's memory and it needs to be reset somehow. My guess is
this is some kind of theft deterrent feature. How do I get it working again?

2) I want to install a Magellan GPS "Traffic Kit" unit which requires that I
plug it's cable into the antenna connector on the back of the stereo. But I
can't figure out how to slide the stereo out from the dashboard so that I
can get to the antenna coax. I was able to pop-out the black recessed tray
beneath it, but can't find any obvious tabs or screws holding the stereo in.
Here are a couple of photos of my dashboard and stereo:

Thanks in advance for any advice!
