Don't waste your time trying to get the unit out.Disconnect the battery for 10 mins.This will do the same job without the grief.Battery in the boot on this model.(some have it in the engine bay)hth

Would pulling a fuse our be the answer? I have looked in the instructions haave yet to find a schedule of fuses, possibly inside the fuse box lids, but which lid? This is not the evening to start! The car has two batteries, the main one in under the bonnet, the stop/start has one in the boot.

There should be two fuse panels with list on paper inside the covers if these have been lost refer to the manual,the removal of the comand unit is not hard first you must remove the centre air vents two screws inside the unit you need a small screwdriver to release the clips to raise the airvents upwards to access the screws the trim is just push fit remove the centre trim round the gear lever the ashtray and the comand unit is held in by four screws.If you have a small hand you can remove the plug the radio without removing anything.
