Showing how to install a aftermarket radio in a Mazda 3.
Apart from a new radio you will need an adapter harness and a new Bezel, which fits your model of Mazda 3.
Prepare the harness adapter ahead of time, so all you have to do during the installation is plug the harness in between the vehicle harness and the new radio.

Do you not have to hook up the smaller harness that comes off the back of the radio to anything? Just the big, main harness?

Well I'm glad I have a Mazda 3. My previous Audi A4's stereo you had to replace the entire center box in order to install a 2Din dead unit.

Both the head unit bezel and head unit look like they're going to fall out. Doesn't look OEM at all, would be a target to thieves, and the break-in damage would be a lot more $$ than the head unit is worth. Went with an Eonon GA9251B. Looks and fits like it's OEM, retained all my factory features/functions including the OEM LCD + MPG calculator, and of course has large knobs.
