No way, man. Original stereo goes in a box for future replacement when the car is resold.

My sacrifice Volvo radio from eBay cost an insanely cheap $40 (item+shipping), and I intentionally bought the lower end model to decrease appearance.

But my soon-to-be-cut-apart sacrifice Benz radio from eBay cost a "rather cheap" $85. They were regularly selling for much more, I just found a guy with a poorly written, thus underexposed listing.

$85 for peace of mind is a price I'll pay any day of the week. I just wish I could see the dealer/independant mechanic when my car is in the shop and they want to hear the radio. They spin the loose knobs and press the buttons with no click until the entire faceplate falls to the floor mats. Must be funny to see their reaction.
