I used a coat hanger. Cut it up into 4 pieces, about 6" long. Then push 'em in. You can get a grip of the unit from the top and sides, then pull. There's enough slack in the aerial and speaker/power connectors, so don't worry about breaking anything. (Obviously, don't pull it too far.)
I never did take any pictures of the dash with the unit out. I could go and do that now. It'll give you a better idea. But here's the Visteon sound unit.
It was the Fiat dealership that gave me the idea. They have to do the same thing, as they haven't been issued with the correct pins. The holes are too close together for the pins you can get from the likes of Halfords, etc.
As you can see from the threads listed in Donz's post, I have a facia adapter with my head unit in the middle. But I have seen one where the HU sits in the bottom half of the area, leaving an equal sized gap above for knik-knaks, e.g. coins, shades. It was on a Spanish site, but I can't remember the link.
I prefer mine though, as I don't like too many bits loose in my car.
