How to Install a Radio in Mazda Millenia

Classified as a luxury car, the Mazda Millenia offered a number of radio choices. Some models came equipped with a cassette player, while others had a single- or multiple-disc CD player. If replacing or upgrading your Millenia radio, you will need a special removal tool. The radio is held in place by internal clips rather than screws. This tool can be purchased in most stores that sell car stereos or from a Mazda or Ford dealer. Many Ford and Mercury radios use the same tool.

Instructions

Removal

1

Open the hood and use and adjustable wrench to disconnect the negative battery cable.

2

Use a small screwdriver to carefully remove the four small rubber hole covers from the sides of the radio.

3

Insert the Mazda radio hook tools into the holes along the sides of the radio to release the inner spring clips. Push the tools in firmly until you hear a "click." Maintain pressure on the side tools and carefully pull the radio straight out of the dash.

4

Disconnect the antenna and wiring harness from the back of the radio. Push on the springs on the sides of the radio to remove the radio hook tools.

Installation

5

Attach the wiring harness to the new radio. If you are replacing the radio with a Mazda factory model, you can reuse the existing wiring harness and antenna connection. If you are installing an aftermarket radio, you may need a Mazda radio installation kit. In that case, follow the instructions with the kit.

6

Connect the wiring harness and antenna cable to the back of a new factory radio. Slide the radio into the dash. You should feel the clips engage the radio. Replace the four rubber hole covers.

7

Follow the directions supplied with the kit if you are installing an aftermarket radio.

8

Reconnect the negative battery cable and test the radio.

9

Enter an anti-theft code if you have installed a factory radio. Consult your owners manual for the code, or contact a Mazda dealer
