Your problem is the ignition switch. Either the switch is bad or if the switch is mounted on the steering column, it may be out of position causing it to only energize the ignition circuit but not energizing the accessory circuits.

How do remove 1996 Mercedes c280 factory RADIO?

Looking at the front of the factory radio you will notice two slits in both lower corners. You are supposed to purchase a radio removal kit from Mercedes. But I found that you can use two metal nail files or feeler gauges. Slip the files or gauges into the slits, this releases the side clasps. Leaving the files or gauges in place you should now be able to pull the radio head unit straight out towards you. Do it slowly to make sure you do not break the wires connected to the rear of the radio. Now you can disconnect the wiring harness behind the radio.
