Problem is, I dont want to take the A/C Controls loose. I'm afraid I won't be able to get them put back.

Here are a couple pictures of what it looks like. I dont think I can even use the DIN tools with this one. The only reason i need to pull it out is I think the Sub cables came loose. I also want to hook up a cable for my iPod. The door is down on the storage area. <a...

Im trying to get the radio out. I can't figure out how to get the damn thing out. I don't see the holes to use the DIN tool. This isnt the stock radio that came in the MSP. It was put in by the previous owner. I assume it was installed by Mazda, it was paid for by their insurance. It looks like...

How do I get the radio bezel off? I have it popped loose, but the A/C controls are keeping it where it is. I'm afraid to pull it to hard, I don't want to break something. I am trying to get the radio out so I can check the cables in the back. I think my Sub cable came loose. I also want to plug...

I checked all the fuses and I check the connections on the amp. I haven't pulled out the head unit yet. What about the connections on the Sub itself? Could those be loose?

The sub in my 2003.5 Protege hasn't been working for a while now. I just haven't really had the time to look into it and fix it. I was looking at it and I didn't feel any loose wires or anything. I am thinking that maybe the subwoofer may be blown. When I first noticed it, the sub would go in...

I don't know to much about stereo stuff. I will just wait and let them fix it. I need to take it in for the bushings anyway. They squeak in the rear end. They have quit for now, but they do it when its warm for some reason. I guess its the bushings.

Oh, I kind of suspected their might not be speakers in the deck because they are in the door. The red light on the triangle is on. The sub will cut in every now and then. Ive never had the radio out of this car and have not looked at how it is removed. Awhile ago the previous owner had the...

I bought my car last September (over a year ago). The previous owner bought the extended warranty. I had it transfered over to us and now I cant find the papers they sent with the warranty in my name. When i take it in for warranty work will i need those papers? Is there anyway I can get...

I need to put brakes on my 03 Tit. Speed. I was wondering what size allen wrench to use. It is an allen right? I dont have any allens so i will have to go buy one and dont want to get the wrong one.

I finally got my car today! Its a 2003.5 Titanium MSP. It is bone stock, and it has just under 33k miles. We got it for $13,500. The body is in awesome condition and drives like a dream. The production number is 1673. I will post pics as soon as I can. I will update this post when i get them...

I dont know a lot about Fords. I know they are use the hard way of doing stuff. When i went to automotive school we worked with either GM or Ford. Ford was always harder. Except for the STUPIDEST idea ever in GM's Fuel Injection for the vortec engines. Another reason i dont like them is because...

This is a huge relief to me. When i showed my friend what i was gonna buy he said "have fun working on a Ford" So i just wanted to make sure. I have never been a Ford guy at all. I just always thought their stuff sucked and was unreliable. In fact, I have never been into domestics much at all...

I know Mazda and Ford work in conjunction. I dont know if its a merger like the Mitsubishi/Chrysler was and Chrysler/Mercedes is now. I was just wondering how much of the MSP's are turbo? I think i saw somewhere that the ECU was from Ford, but what else?

Maybe they are just stupid and think its a regular non turbo protege.
