need a new stereo
 

My radio/stereo has conked out. My mechanic says all the power to the unit is fine, but doesn't fix stereo issues. I'm fine removing the stereo, but don't know if I need to replace it with something specific. Brand, size, etc.

2003 Mazda Protege ES 2.0

I found this: ‪How to Remove Radio / CD Changer from 2006 Mazda Protege 5 for Repair‬‏ - YouTube

and this: Removing stock radio from 2003 Protege

which seem to explain things pretty well. Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks :)

go to crutchfield.com and look up your exact model. they will send you any adapter that you may need for a small fee. that is, of course, if you feel like installing it yourself. it's an easy job, really. pulling it is the hard part.

Hi, I was wondering if you changed out the factory stereo. If so, I was wondering if it would be possible to get the stereo knobs.

I bought a Kenwood single DIN from Crutchfield and put in myself
with great instructions and harnesses from Crutchfield
I am now researching speakers for the rear doors.
It is thin-mount location for 5 1/4 or 6 1/2. Would love to
hear from someone who has put in their own replacement speakers

replacing rear door speakers in protege 5
 

Has anyone out there replaced the rear door speakers on a
2003 Protege 5? It appears that it has to be a shallow mount
or component. Please respond if you have installed new speakers
in the rear doors.
Thanks
