Mazda 3 Radio Removal Step by Step Instruction Guide
Step 1: Open the glovebox. Use the flat screwdriver to unhook the four clips holding the silver trim in place. Remove the silver trim.
Step 2: Unscrew the 4 radio head unit srews.
Step 3: Lift the front edge of the top panel with the air-conditioning vents to pull the radio out.
Step 4: Using the flathead screwdriver unhook any connection in the external CD Changer port on the back of the Mazda 3 head unit radio. Connect the Mazda cable harness into the CD changer port.
Step 5: Plug in the Mazda U3i-MAZ or i3-MAZ interface box. Then plug in a USB key configured with music and switch on the car ignition.
Step 6: Test the radio functionality to see if the Mazda U3i-MAZ or i3-MAZ interface box has succesfully been installed.
Step 7: Once you are happy with the functionality, find a place to store all the necessary audio cables eg. USB, iPod and Auxiliary cables. They can be fed through to the glove box or underneath into the center arm rest.
Step 8: If you choose to store in the center armrest, open the center armrest and pull the trim upwards where the latch closes. Work your way to the front of the trims. It's best to have the parking brake up. For manual transmission vehicles, twist the knob counter clockwise to remove it. Once the center panel has been removed, use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws under the ashtray so that the lower center panel can be removed (the panel containing the ash tray, cigarette lighter and seat controls). The cables can then be fed behind the radio into the cavity of the lower center panel and out to the armrest.
Step 9: Reverse the installation process and put the dash back together. Well done!
