Think I've pulled the changer cable out the back of the head unit while I had a large bag in the passenger footwell. Anyone able to point me somewhere that shows how to remove the head unit? It doesn't look like it's the usual U-shaped clips but I might be wrong.

From what i remember, it is usual u-clips. Take the face off, and then you should be able to see where the uclips go.

Mine came out easy enough when I needed to take it out to change a couple of components.

Had a look in the manual that came with it and it turns out that I do need the U clips to remove it. Didn't get those with the car unfortunately. Still can't see the holes that the clips are supposed to fit into, TBH. And yes, I did fold down the cover that attaches to the faceplate first.
