I recently bought a Citroen C3 Picasso. The original factory fitted radio (RD4/Rd43/Rd45 type unknown )has been replaced with a Pioneer MVH 330DAB. Because of this the original functionality of time and date adjustment ( visible on the display ) has been lost. The car has an originally fitted usb/aux connector. The car also has a microphone and phone and Bluetooth music streaming/ phone connection via the Pioneer radio. I wish to reinstate a RD45 refurbished radio to re-establish the cars full functionality together with Bluetooth connectivity.
Can this be easily done?

If you post the VIN we should be able to work out what was originally fitted. The difficulty of reinstatement also depends on how the installation was done.

Re: Fitting a refurb RD45 radio
Ok, so the good news it that it originally was fitted with the RD45 unit.
So pending any wiring / connection issues made for the aftermarket unit, the original should go back in and the screen will already be compatible.
If this is not the original unit being refitted back, it will need VIN coding using a professional diagnostic tool, and a configuration check for options.
