The Mazda Protege was a compact sedan built under varying nameplates by Mazda from the mid-1960s to the early 2000s. It was marketed in the United States as what we know as the Mazda Protege from the early 1990s until 2003. Removing the car radio is a necessary first step to replacing the radio or upgrading the radio to an aftermarket model.
Instructions
1. Pry off two small rectangular covers on either side of the factory radio with your screwdriver. These covers will reveal the slots for the insertion of the DIN tools, which disengage the radio from its mount.
2. Slide the DIN tools into the openings on either side of the radio. When they're fully inserted, push the tools outward slightly and then pull toward you. The radio will disengage and slide out as you pull it.
3. When the radio is free from the dash, unplug the two connectors on the back. One is the electrical and speaker wiring, the other the antenna plug.
