If it's an aftermarket stereo, it can be removed without taking the dash apart. It depends on how it was installed. Remove the thin plastic collar from around the radio, it may be easier to remove it with the faceplate detached. Look on the sides for thin metal tabs you can press then in and slide the radio out carefully with a flat screw driver.

Some installers will screw the radio into a dash assembly and the radio will not come out until you remove the dash. Usually cars that have a black plastic pocket either directly above or below the radio are screwed in and don't come out as easy.

If you remove the faceplate and collar, and see a thin metal cage around the radio it should slide out nice and easy with a flat screw driver or the "keys" that come with the radio when purchased new. These "keys" are just long skinny flat pieces of metal and are real cheap.

Bad heater core

If it does not have air conditioning you can pull the heater core out through the glove compartment. But it sounds like you do have air conditioning and the bad news this is about a 3 to 5 hour job. Remove all the screws by the windshield remove the screws are bolts below the speakers that attaches the dash to the door post if it has a console remove that. The dash and console do not actually have to be removed but pulled way out of the way. In the engine compartment disconnect the aie conditioning hoses to the heater box. You will need a special tool for this that removes the round springer or pushes it back or out of way, then pull the hose loose. There's also a bolt or two that needs to be removed in this area. Also removed the glove box, you will be able to see better there's also a bolt or two holding the heater box up. Be careful not to damage any wires or vacuum hoses. Good luck.

How do i wire up my pioneer sterio so that the steering wheel paddles in my punto operate the sterio ?

First you need a stereo that has the remote control option or you can purchase an interface from PIE (Precision Interface Electronics). This will work only if you have a remote for your pioneer. Let me know what kind of Pioneer you have and the Make, model and year of your car and I can even find you the best solution. But you also should be able to go some where such as you local car audio shop, best buy or circuit city. Good Luck.
