you've been looking in the wrong place.

this problem will have been covered in the ICE section loads of times.

there is a hole on either side of the head unit. about the size of a piece of wire. put a piece of wire in each hole and it will slide out forwards. you could also use allen keys or proper removal tools.

go to an audio shop they should lend you the keys to get it out, takes seconds
