    I have an 04 reg Corsa 1.2 and need to take the radio/CD player unit out. I
    have taken the four small grub screws out, but can anyone tell me how to now
    get the unit out?

    I have heard stories of varying success with ramming small screwdrivers
    or a unbent wire coat hanger into the holes and pulling. The correct
    tool for the job though, is a 'double DIN head unit removal key' - they
    come as a set of two, a pair of prongs that are pushed into the holes,
    pressed outwards (towards the doors of the car) and then pulled damn
    hard and it brings the stereo unit out. The stereo is slotted into a
    cage which is screwed to the back of the dashboard, with the wiring
    plug clipped onto the cage. When you pull the stereo out, it leaves the
    cage and wiring connector intact - if you need those out as well then
    just remove the single screw on the cage, pull out the cage and unclip
    the plug.
