Default Removing AUIII Dash

Hey guys. Need to remove an aftermarket head unit on an AUIII XR8. I've searched but only been able to find how to remove the standard one. Are there any diagrams you know of to remove the fron dash to get into it.
Cheers

After market ones normally come with their own removal tools. You take the little facia/surround off it, pop the face off 9if it's the removable kind), the slide the tools down the side and when it clicks, pull it out.

Do you mean stereo? do what jc said if it's the dash. If it's the headunit see if you can borrow the tools from your ford dealer takes 5mins, or use some wire/ coat hangers and find the holes on the face, push in and in ward and pull unit out?
