Welcome to the forum.

Yes, as we like to say "the right tool for the job." Although one can often get by with more universal tools the designed-for are best, especially with Germanic vehicles and their somewhat unique [we who favor feel better-] construction.

The specific tools for pulling the dash audio components are also a must as they "unlock" and pull.

In searching for the removal of the AC vents. There are a lot of posts where owners have done this. In all the posts, I could find everyone used the tool. Many bought them on eBay.

In a cinch I used a metal hanger, bent it and pulled it. Make sure to pull and pry withe the plastic pry set at the edges same time. No special tool needed.
