How to remove stereo

[mpetruzz]

I just picked up my 2010 3s hatchback and am going to install te Sirius kit myself. The dealer wanted quite a bit of coin to do it. I'm pretty much set on how to install it, I just need to figure out how to best remove the headunit. Has anyone does this? Any tips or advice are appreciated. Pictures will get you extra credit!! Thanks!!!

There is some info else where but I can not give the link (it will be edited out) but Eternal is the man. His info is below.

First pull the upper vents and headunit it. Simply use your finger nails between the center speaker and the upper vents. Pull hard, it wont break but will pull right out.

You will see (2) phillips head screws above the headunit. Simply unscrew them and the head unit pulls out.

Thank Eternal if you talk with him.

Wow, much easier than I was expecting. I'm installing the Sirius kit, that's why I need to get it out. I've tried to locate some install instructions for the kit, but haven't been successful. I know the unit plugs into the back of the stereo, but was wondering where I get power for the unit.

Anything for that??

Thanks!!

There are instructions posted on Mazda3revolution for the Sirius install.

I was told that but every time I try to go there and register the site gives me an error. I've tried for the past few days, the site must be having some issues.

Your Sirius kit should have come with a detailed installation manual.

Crutchfield or Bestbuy maybe?

Mine came with the new head unit from Crutchfield, decent fit.
