Hi All, The OEM BE 4372 radio in my 2002 575 needs to be sent back to Becker for repair. Fortunately, I have the radio removal tools. However, I've never removed the unit before. Does anyone have any tips or cautions I should be aware of when removing and disconnecting the unit from the dash? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, John
It should just be a matter of inserting the tool into the appropriate hole to release it... then it should just pop out. ... whoa, I just realized those same instructions could mean something entirely different had I posted it in BRL. Mods: I didn’t mean it that way here, I swear... that’s just the way you remove the stereo! Ruben
Take care inserting the tools, they can damage the release mechanism if they’re forced. The tools should be marked as to which way they face. I use a towel on the tunnel below the head unit of my 456, you’ll need something to set it on while you disconnect the wiring. Else, it’s a fairly straightforward operation.
Thanks for the tips fella's. The unit popped right out and is on it's way to Becker for repair. Cheers!
That was lucky. On a 550 you have to remove the center console (easy) because the radio is bolted in.
I represent guys who get them out real quickly. Haha I am a defense lawyer That being said, I sent mine back to Becker and they sent me a brand new refinished one, new code card and brand new finished knobs and stuff. Only $159 Brand new looking. Got over the sticky stuff My volume was messing with me. They just sent me a new one. 10 years later Just call Becker and be nice Brand new radio, same ferrari label and even same preset stations
