These instructions worked very well, EXCEPT that with my 2004 Mazda 6 there's a 10 mm security bolt that needs to be removed via the glove box, just like other commenters have mentioned. That's pretty easy, though. Just open the glove box, push together the sides to gain access, unclip the string that holds the glove box, and access to the security bolt to the far left. It's a tight working space but it doesn't take long. Thanks for posting this video!
@@tjnj2256 Is this a frigging joke i just tried doing it for an hour and a hald and the skin on my fingers is nearly ripped off from trying to frigging pull the thing.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm so irritated
great i just wasted an hour and a half of my time trying to do this......:( skin is all blistered and i am pissed off....wish i read the comments first
You should probably redo this video or put in a comment about the 10mm bolt you failed to mention.. if you pry too hard on the HU you can disturb or damage the LCD connection between the faceplate and stereo causing the LCD display to stop working correctly. This happened to me after watching this vid and attempting to do the removal without addressing said bolt.
Great instructional video. I'm not mechanically inclined and was more than a little reluctant to try this but it worked pretty much exactly as described in the video. I was more concerned about getting everything back together once I had pulled it apart, but it was no problemo. Thanks for the help and a great video!!! ***BE SURE TO REMOVE THE BOLT LOCATED IN THE GLOVE BOX***
very detailed explanation I have this exact car 05 M6 GTS. of the few videos on youtube for this install, yours was the best to follow detailed and explantory. besides the 10mm in the glove box that I already know about and there is was awarding message as well. great job VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! i can now install my Aux Mod :)
Thanks Dumbass you didn't mention removing the glove box and the 10mm bolt holding the radio in. I now have a cracked circuit board trying to pull off the panel.
I don't know if your model doesn't have the side screw but the 03 model I worked on has a side screw that makes it impossible to remove with out first removing that screw....
STOP DOING THESE VIDEOS!!! You're skipping the most important parts and it's crazy annoying to see the video was made by a BLIND "cameraman" who NEVER pointed the camera to actually SEE SOMETHING...
this is awesome. what about the 10mm bolt on the right side of the radio that you need to take the glovebox out to access? is that not present on the 2005?
Is that a bolt or screw? I am not able to see much from inside the glove box (which I fully removed), except a bolt that appears really high up. Is this bolt/screw that you refer to high or low?
Newlander it sounds like you are looking at the correct bolt. If you don't remove that, you won't be able to remove the front panel. See the picture. [i195.photobucket.com/albums/z257/jdolluc/Axxess%20iPod%20kit/P8280042.jpg] The bolt attaches to the bracket just above the wiring connector in the photo. But the picture in the link looks like it's for a left-hand drive car. Regardless of what side you drive, the bolt will always be on the same side as the glove box. I've since found another good site to look at. [sol20.com/ATENZA/maz_console_removal_E.htm] [sol20.com/ATENZA/pics/maz_backcamera14_c.JPG] in the photo, the locking bolt is located where the red circle is indicating.
Yes, that is perfect. Thank you very much for the clarification and links. I was going to upgrade my head unit, but noticed on amazon that the replacement dash is now out-of-stock :(
You don't cover the bolt inside the dash that secures the unit in place. I tried it your way and broke the circuit board. This safety bolt is accessible through the glove box. I really don't know how you made it look so easy. This has caused me much distress just trying to find a match to fix it.
hello i m a 2005 mazda6 owner. this vedio has been very helpful but it seems that it is easy but i have hard time to release them Question: do i have to disconnect battery when doing this?? thanks
I just did it, the only problem after reassembling is that my AC control wheel does not go back to the far left (cold) anymore. I think I've messed up with sth.
Wait🤔 can I cut the area where the buttons are at and just install an aftermarket radio instead of buying a dash kit for 200 dollars?🤦🏻♂️ I have a single din pioneer radio, I just need the dash kit
I have a Sony MEX-BT3900U stereo I really want to install to my mazda 6 2005 but i'm just scared to mess it up. Does anyone know what facia's are best to use for this car and recommendations to whether changing the stereo to the aforementioned will affect the steering wheel control vol up/down and track/ch.
can you install a usb port into the stereo and where would i buy a new mazda 6 cd play its the one i have wont play cds or load them keep going to radio
buenas, cordial saludo es que desconecte la consola del mazda 6 tal como se explica aqui, pero cuando la volvi a conectar no funciona ni la radio ni el aire acondicionado, por favor me podrían ayuda de antemano muchas gracias.
just so everybody knows there are several videos about this stereo removal some show more than others . this guy forgot a very critical detail and following his direction will cause more damage to your components , so please watch as many videos as possible before you attent this removal.... or you will be crying like everyone else on this feed.
This video needs to be taken down or updated, I have yet another case of accidentally breaking my unit trying to just pop it out like you did in the video, due to your failure to mention the bolt behind the glove box. I was attempting to install an Auxmod unit on the back of the stereo, and now not only is that useless until I can eventually replace this for whatever obscene amount mazda asks for, but due to the bit that broke, the LCD display doesn't work either.
Hi everyone. I have a friend with a Mazda 6 of 2003. Can you tell me if there is a way to get rid of it(the sound system I mean, not the car) and install a mask for common ISO 1 sound systems(Greek standard)? Will I need any special thingies, except for the electrical harnesses and adaptors that I will obviously need?
You should delete and remake this video. Mobile TH-cam does not show the box overlay showing the warning. You really must mention the glove box bolt and possible screws under the climate controls. My climate controls circuit board also broke. Again. Mobile TH-cam does not show comments and box overlays, so that doesn't fix the problem, or my circuit board.
Broke the radio cuz you didn’t mention the 10mm bolt, great tutorial
Remove the glove box and you will find this 10 mm bolt. Need a socket and about a 4" extension.

To get that bolt out did you use a socket wrench or a regular one?
Mines to
Did everything you said to do on here, and it ripped the thing in two, thank you!
There's a support bolt in the glovebox. That you have to remove or you will break the radio
Thank you for mentioning that I had a feeling u had to more than what he showed👍
HOLY FUCK IVE BEEN TRYING TO PRY THIS SHIT FOR 30 MINUTES.
THANK YOU AND FUCK THIS VIDEO FOR NOT MENTIONING IT
have you ever seen one get stuck. the panel for the stereo wont pop on right side and slide up.
even stereo guys at Mazda could not get it out.
I wished I read this comment before I destroyed the radio.
@@tjnj2256 Is this a frigging joke i just tried doing it for an hour and a hald and the skin on my fingers is nearly ripped off from trying to frigging pull the thing.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm so irritated
Warning needed in this video: remove 10mm bolt in glove box!
great i just wasted an hour and a half of my time trying to do this......:( skin is all blistered and i am pissed off....wish i read the comments first

THE BOLT BOYS AND GIRLS THE BOLT IN THE GLOVYYYYY
Theres definitely a a bolt you have to remove behind the radio via the glovebox. I just did mine. luckily i did more research.
Im in japan just got one of these and was trying to put a new head unit in had trouble until this vid thanks
There is also a screw which you have to remove from the inside of the glove compartment if not u are not able to remove the dash
I have been trying to figure out my Mazda for ages now this has helped heaps thank you very much! :)
Thanks Dumbass you didn't mention removing the glove box and the 10mm bolt holding the radio in. I now have a cracked circuit board trying to pull off the panel.
D Pearson Did It Fuck Up Your A/C.?
A͓̽G͓̽o͓̽d͓̽s͓̽L͓̽i͓̽f͓̽e͓̽ Y͓̽T͓̽ my a/c is fucked up thats why i need to replace this thing.
Awesome! I just bought an iSimple Tranzit to give me an aux connection for tunes. Thanks for the antenna connector access info!
update your video man.....you didn't mention the bolt and I broke my face plate and my digital display.....
I broke mine too. 🤦
I don't know if your model doesn't have the side screw but the 03 model I worked on has a side screw that makes it impossible to remove with out first removing that screw....
Bad video. Broke my face plate and whole radio. thanks!
Imaginary screw at 2:08
STOP DOING THESE VIDEOS!!!
You're skipping the most important parts and it's crazy annoying to see the video was made by a BLIND "cameraman" who NEVER pointed the camera to actually SEE SOMETHING...
The bolt in the box IS the trick.......
Remove ths bolt from the glovebox or you won't be able to remove the panel
Yeah that 10mm bolt screwed me too, broke the clip that holds that bezel on
That's what happens when they let YOU work on your own car Dave. Buahahaha!!!
this is awesome. what about the 10mm bolt on the right side of the radio that you need to take the glovebox out to access? is that not present on the 2005?
You didn't mention the bolt at the back anchoring the radio. Accessible by removing the glove compartment.
Is that a bolt or screw? I am not able to see much from inside the glove box (which I fully removed), except a bolt that appears really high up. Is this bolt/screw that you refer to high or low?

Newlander You're welcome. If you're looking to replace it with another stock head unit, try an auto wreckers.
Thanks taking the time to record for the video
HOW CAN ANYONE LIKE THIS VIDEO WHEN THEY LEAVE A MAJOR KEY PART OUT. IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, YOU WILL BREAK YOUR PANEL AND DIGITAL READ OUT.

Revise todos los fusibles. Revise todas las conexiones, es posible que falte un conector.
Thank you! Working on one now
Mark Mcclasky did you unscrew the boot in the glove box
hello
i m a 2005 mazda6 owner. this vedio has been very helpful
but it seems that it is easy but i have hard time to release them
Question: do i have to disconnect battery when doing this?? thanks
I just did it, the only problem after reassembling is that my AC control wheel does not go back to the far left (cold) anymore. I think I've messed up with sth.
sunnyrainbow Did You Ever Figure It Out.?
No screws behind knobs??
I want to replace the light bulb inside the aircon speed control dial/off. I wonder if it is easily accessible.
Wait🤔 can I cut the area where the buttons are at and just install an aftermarket radio instead of buying a dash kit for 200 dollars?🤦🏻♂️ I have a single din pioneer radio, I just need the dash kit
Glad I read the smart people's comments before I broke something. Take down the video or add to your own comments.
it's a 10 mm bolt
What is that cable when you remove the cap of the handbrake??
my mazda 6 2003 has a different AC wire that I can seem to figure out how to remove. Unlike the video there is one clip and then the wire.
I have a Sony MEX-BT3900U stereo I really want to install to my mazda 6 2005 but i'm just scared to mess it up. Does anyone know what facia's are best to use for this car and recommendations to whether changing the stereo to the aforementioned will affect the steering wheel control vol up/down and track/ch.
Forget these negative noobs. Thank you genuinely for making a video and trying help the general public
Cant get the cup holder out...
can you install a usb port into the stereo and where would i buy a new mazda 6 cd play its the one i have wont play cds or load them keep going to radio
Same thing for to change to an aftermarket radio?
Can some help find the bolt in the glove box
buenas, cordial saludo es que desconecte la consola del mazda 6 tal como se explica aqui, pero cuando la volvi a conectar no funciona ni la radio ni el aire acondicionado, por favor me podrían ayuda de antemano muchas gracias.

And you forgot the security bolt in the glove box.

Removal process for the factory stereo, yes. Installation of aftermarket, do your research.

Could make a video installing a aux mod

StealthyKiller07
Thanks a lot. It seems that now I don' t need it anymore. But thanks anyway... :-)
Thank you!!!!
THEY FORGET TO TELL YOU THAT THERE IS A SCREW YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THAT YOU ACCESS FROM THE GLOVE BOX COMPARTMENT AREA.
Is it the same for the 2006 Mazda 6?
Gracias, lo inntentare
Is it the same for standard ?
Nothing like taking half the car apart just to get to the radio. They don't make them like they used to.

check out my video on how to install aux
Delete this video. You failed to mention the 10mm in the glovebix. Broke my radio.
You should delete and remake this video. Mobile TH-cam does not show the box overlay showing the warning. You really must mention the glove box bolt and possible screws under the climate controls. My climate controls circuit board also broke.
Again. Mobile TH-cam does not show comments and box overlays, so that doesn't fix the problem, or my circuit board.
is it true that under the gear shift near it I can install an aid cord cable?
Terrible job.
