Welp...taking out the radio without the ford removal kit was annoying, but I ultimately won!!! Pics to come later :)

Hank3 (I sent you a PM but it wasn't showing up in my sent box) I was looking at the part numbers you listed to install the aftermarket and does it matter which vehicle I buy it for? There are five pages worth of options. I am guessing the one (since it is a protege) is the "2000 - MAZDA -...

^^ LOVE Memphis! That's what I always ran. GREAT stuff. Also...I think I am going to go the Alpine CDE-HD137BT route as I don't think I am liking the double din look and the Pioneer button and interface aren't my favorite...

The Pioneer HU I was looking into (8400BH) or the Alpine HD137BT. I wasn't a fan of the Pioneer's lack of buttons, but I like the rear USB (that handles full HDD's) and the sound quality that also is behind Pioneer. I dug the Alpine when I was in Best Buy...but it wasn't powered on so I...

I would be getting it from a used car lot...there aren't many around private party and stock. My things I was looking for were: Hatchback (duh) Auto Sunroof Roof Rack Low miles (under 110k) Timing belt/chain stock as possible (not going to mod this car at ALL!) Also...I am in Southern CA so...

Oh.. It's also all stock.

Hi all! I had to sell my mazdaspeed3 due to higher costs, and wanting to replace it with the protege5. I found one yesterday for $7000. They tye putting new tires, alignment and replacing the timing belt at no additional cost. It's the black mica, auto with sport shift, roof rack, sunroof, and...
