spend $40 bucks and get a stereo shop to put it in. Ive found taht the big name brand places do cheap work and usually screw things up. So I prefer the smaller private operations. Also if you have the power antenna you need to swap a couple wires in the harness so you dont pop a relay. Mazdas power antennas in 2nd gens work backwards from the rest of the world.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
Okay step by step power wires hook up for aftermarket radios:
Mazda Stock Ltblue/White hooks up to the red ignition lead of the aftermarket stereo
mazda Stock LtBlue/Red hooks up to the yellow constant 12volts wire of the aftermarket stereo
Black wire of the aftermarket stereo goes both to ground and 85 & 30 of a extra relay to run up the factory power antenna. I like to use the 10mm bolt under the center console side front access panel as a good ground source.
The Mazda stock LtBlue/yellow wire to 87 of the extra relay for the power antenna.
The aftermarket radio's Blue or Blue/white power antenna output goes to 86 of the extra relay to run up the factory power antenna

did you get a wiring harness adapter(please tell me you didn't cut of the factory wiring harness), if you get that, than all you gotta go is match up the color and connect them
