How to extract the OEM Pioneer DAB radio?
Discussion
hello, I need your help because I would like to change the DAB Radio from Pioneer witch seems to be the OEM one on my Tuscan S for another Pioneer non DAB (no DAB radio broadcast in France) with GPS.
but I don't want to damage anything and I don't know how to extract the OEM one. Could you help me in telling me how I should proceed? thanx.

If you take the face off there should be two small channels down each side of the stereo. There's two small strips of metal that come with the stereo that can be used to push down these holes and unclip then pull the stereo out.
If you don't have these then I'm not sure what else you can use - I'm guessing you'd get another set with your new stereo?
Having said all that, I haven't looked at my stereo that closely as I've probably only ever used it twice but going from previous cars, so the above advice may not be entirely correct!

tha DAB tuner is in the boot behind a small removable cover and is seperate from the head unit on the dash, it is really easy to remove the unit, 4 screws for the panel and the unit is velcoed to the back of the panel.
all leads just plug in. Removing the ariel and lead between the unit and the head I would imaging is a nightmare though.
You can chain up to 3 items onto the pioneer head unit, I have an Ipod interface added to it in the boot.
The head unit just pulls out, you need the two "keys" that came with the head unit, mine were in the TVR pack supplied from the factory. if you havn't got then I am sure you can buy a selection of generic keys from halfwits. In the past (other cars) I have improvised, juniour hacksaw blades (with the end link cut off)are about the right size, you are just trying to release the lock tab buy pushing it down the hole.
If you just need to change the DAB unit you will probably not need to touch the head unit, I imaging a "france" compatable DAB tuner will interface with the same conections to your existing head unit. you could probably chain the "france" unit to the existing unit and have both, they will appear on the head unit as Ext1 and Ext2
