Re: Is there a proper way to jump start my 1999 Mercedez...
When jump starting any vehicle always hook up the positive to the battery first and then hook the ground(black) lead to some metal surface on the engine. This way you do not throw sparks near the battery.

some cars have a floor panel that will pull up.Then you will see a main positive cable you can connect jumper too,and ground to metal or brown ground wire
ignition switch contact or starter motor given up the ghost ,try a jump start and see if that works ,do the lights go dim when you try to start it??if so then its a flat battery or a old battery thats just died on you.These vehicles do have a big ignition lock in the dash and these just dont go wrong like a VW but its possible?
The wait time for these is usually about 24 hrs. Have you tried calling the dealer to see if there is an over-ride code and do you have the proper code to enter? If you call the dealer, you will need the vin and registration.
If the radio is a factory fitted it would be a problem for you to remove except you take the car to a specialize workshop otherwise check properly there could be one or two pin or screw holding it.
You could do either, if you will be driving it again now you may opt for a new battery. Take it out and have the battery tested at your auto parts store if it checks out OK charge it up
