Either go to Halfords etc and buy a removal tool, or go to an ICE dealer and pay them to remove it.

A wire coat hanger (or thin wire) cut into 4 bits might fit into the 4 holes at the sides then just lever out. The proper tools just slide back a catch which keeps the radio in.

Yeah, some do, and others have a little tang that engages with the radio to help pull it out. They only cost a couple of £.
