There are two little pin holes that you place the keys in on either side and once you push them in they grip the head uniot and you are able to pull it out with a little jiggle.
The keys should come with the car but if you dont have them then take your car to halfords and ask them if you can borrow the keys, i did!, and it will come out then disconnect the back wire

Yeah you normally need a little allan key to remove them and they keys slot in.
Another way is cut the 2 ends of a wire coat hanger but they dont give much grip and then bend the edges to sh*t with a screwdriver!!
Do you have a replacement headunit?

ok, with wire coat hangers they loop at the end like where you hang the shoulders of a top. Cut these 2 ends of and use them in the same way you would use the keys. but there is no point so it doesnt lock in like the keys do so thats where the screwdriver comes in handy but you will basically wreck the standard headunit so id just go borrow the keys from halfords or a mate that has a corsa should have them
