hey I have the mazda 626 I’m not sure of the year either a 96 or 98 but I player have the default radio with cassette player I am finally trying to remove to install another, I’ve managed to get out the radio but how do I remove the rear wires to install another one?
Reset the CD player by disconnecing one of the battery terminals, or remove and disconnect the stereo for a couple of minutes. Then reconnect. This may reset the CD and eject. Otherwise, this is a repair issue.
I don’t know if you’ve already answered this; but I have a 2001 626 and have a CD that will not eject from the radio. The CD won’t play and every time I turn the car on “OUT” flashes on the screen as if it wants to eject the CD but nothing happens. Also the radio plays any station just fine but if I push the “CD Player” button nothing happens and if I push the eject button it just seems to pause the radio each time I press the button.
Don’t have an answer for you on this one without seeing it. However, many Mazda’s have the Bose system. You can not mix a Bose stereo into a non-Bose system and vise versa.
There are kits and wire harnesses available for installation of aftermarket car radios. Aftermarket car radio installation depends on the level of expertise you have. Some instances kits are not needed. Mazda can be tricky.
So… I have a mazda protege 98 and the stereo went. Im wondering because its an old model do i have to have a mounting kit installed.. Ive been getting mixed messages about it…HELP
thank god u saved my life my 96 mazda protege lx has same romoval method as this one i was almost about to take my whole dash console everything out just to get to the damn stereo lol u saved me much time
in my 2001 madza 626 there are 5 holes on the sides. i have put din keys in each of these keys and there are no clicks. do you know how to take that stereo out?
thanks for posting this video!!! i have this exact model and i’m installing a new stereo in mine today, because the cd player is very moody… and this exactly what i needed!!
Man i tried to take my whole dash off to get radio out I kept pullin but it wouldnt come out Luckly i stopped tryin an looked this up otherwise i would have F****d my dash up
That was very helpful….however, if I were to install a different radio (which is what I want to do), would it snap into place like that so easily? Wow, it looked so easy when you did it…it almost seemed like you were putting legos together.
Dumb question: is an aftermarket stereo held in place as the stock Mazda radio? I’ve got an older Alpine radio I want to install and I do not recall if it required mounting to a special bracket or anything…

All the connectors have a small trigger on them. Squeeze the trigger into the connector and it should release.

If want to install a aftermarket radio. Do need to buy any special mounts or will a single din radio just fit in?
