2002 Mazda Protege 5 radio replacement

[@damakesit2775]

Thank you for your video! You made it look relatively easy, and it was. The hardest part was getting my stock radio out: the right side "wing" that holds the stereo in place had flared out so far that the removal keys could never get on the outside of it to squeeze it in to pull out. Had to Dremel that side out. And that was after removing the temp control panel below it to try to get more room to maneuver. That took about three hours. But it all works. Thanks again.

Sorry bruh but you could've just taken out the glovebox and pushed the tabs out with your fingers lol

[@damakesit2775]

Bruh, I did remove the glovebox. The right tab was really pushed out. Trust me. lol

[@karleebrown9103]

can I use the dash my original radio is in? or do I need to buy a dash kit? I bought a similar JVC radio.

[@ricksegura72]

Karlee Brown you will need to purchase an aftermarket kit when replacing the factory radio

[@matthewmiller6068]

So what holds the new radio in place - you say it locks in but is there a way to remove it should you discover a wire is lose?

[@ricksegura72]

Matthew Miller if it's a single din radio your installing the radio will have a metal sleeve which will slide into the dash kit and will need to be secured by bending some tabs on the sleeve. If it's a double din radio the kit will have the proper ISO brackets included which you will use to mount the new double din radio onto the kit

Can you give links to where you bought the stereo and the holder?

[@ricksegura72]

Hyped Up Onofre both bought at Best Buy. Visit www.metraonline.com and input your car info and it will show you the part number for the kit you need depending if its a single din or double din your installing. Reference that model number on Best Buy's website and you should be able to order the kit and harness from the online or if you'd like go to your local Best Buy car audio installation department

[@onofrem.herrera5312]
