Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Car stereo

Do you want to replace the factory radio or install a satellite navigation system? Here’s how to do it in a few steps. First, open the glove compartment, remove the indicated plastic by pulling it towards you, unscrew the 2 cross-head screws at the top of the radio, and simply pull it out. Before removing the radio, disconnect the power and antenna cables found at the back.
To proceed with the new installation, you will need a specific ISO radio adapter fascia and an ISO interface connector, which will allow you to mount the new radio.
