Help removing headunit of unknown origin

[nzsims]

Hi there,

I've just picked up a 2008 A4 S-line. Here in New Zealand we get most of our cars ex Japan. As such, my new ride has a double din navigation unit - All in japanese. There's no markings on it any where, but I'm lead to believe that its a Clarion J8e. I'm planning on replacing it, however I've hit a snafu, as I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove it.

I've tried using the Audi stereo removal keys, as there are four little removal tabs in there. But no luck. Is there a wider blade removal key that I'm not aware of? Do i need to disassemble the dash to get at it? Out of ideas here.

Thanks in advance, for any help.

you cannot unscrew the entire bracket?

Unbolting the bracket requires removing a lot of dash. But guess thats the next step.
