You need the correct stereo keys.

This is what they look like:

They clip in either side of the stereo down a small slit, and pop the face forward.

You can buy them from halfords, and if you ask nice enough they'll do it for you!

They're the ones I've got and used? It's definitely those ones.

Are there perhaps two different ones?

lol 100% wrong. Thats the new RCD removal keys not the delta/gamma/beta/alpha ones

I used to sell these nearly every day at VW

You can get a cubby hole for the other space.

U can keep the bottom part of the two as i have, just remove the top HU i just yanked mine out with no keys and nothing broke and i was amazed, Fort wot would happen if i just give it a little pull!

Oh and changing ur head unit sometimes altears ur remote central locking, u gotta change some of the wiring around if urs doesnt end up working!
