I know its the standard unit?!
You do need ISO cage removal keys that you are supposed to insert into the front of the unit to remove it.
Look at the faceplate, 2 holes on the left and the right. The keys should have been inserted in there once you removed the grub screws.

They do indeed.
There are two types :
You need the first set.
Insert them into the holes until you feel it click (DO NOT SHOVE THEM ALL THE WAY IN), then gently pull the front of the unit and it should come free.

If they keys don't work too well, you may find it useful to remove the ashtray as you can get your hand behind the headunit - the cage goes all the way to the back though so make sure you don't try pushing that as you'll never get the headunit out.

i cut up a wire coathanger and pushed a piece into each hole, then pulled the HU from the back. Worked for me
