Doing this doesn't look too bad. All of the pins except the final four should line-up
nicely with the holes on the tuner board, and some short wires can be used to
connect up the final four. All unused pins will just get nipped off with some cutters.

Okay, more repair pr0n:

This is the finished repair, with the PCATS RF Module grafted into a factory radio.
Doing the actual repair took only about (EDIT) an hour. Plus another half hour taken
earlier on to remove the factory RF module (fastest way to remove it is to destroy it!)



The four squiggly wires are actually leads from some 1/2 watt resistors I had lying around.
I desoldered the original four pins from the RF module and replaced them with those
more plyable leads, and then bent them to mate with the holes on the tuner board.
