stereo wiring harness question
my question is since the stock wiring is proprietary to the mazda head unit, will i need to wire up a custom one to attach aftermarket head units? and does anyone have a good write up anywhere on this process, or is there a way to use the original wiring?
thanks
thanks

Sequentially broken
The best write-up is the Factory Service Manual for your year. Check the FAQ at the top of the page for links to the FSM/Wiring diagram. Unless you're removing/adding amps, it's pretty straight forward (there's even those silly harness adapters for sale somewhere, but I forgot who sold them).

What are the wire colors for adding aftermarket radio
LTBlue/Red= 12v+
LtBlue/White= +Accessory
LtBlue/Yellow= -power ant trigger
Red/Black=+ Lumination
White=Factory Amp Turn on
Ground to the body, use the 10mm bolt behind the center console front drivers access panel. Do not use the Red/Black as ground it will damage the interior light circuit and dimmer in the car
Front Speakers (maximum of a 15 watt peak from the radio):
LtGreen/Red= Left
LtGreen/Black= Left
LtGreen= Right
LtGreen/Yellow=Right
Rear Speakers (if applicable, if you have the amplified rear speakers again the Maximum of 15 watts peak is all the stock speaker amp input can handle):
Brown= Left rear
Brown/White= Left Rear
LtBlue= Right Rear
LtBlue/Orange=Right Rear
LTBlue/Red= 12v+
LtBlue/White= +Accessory
LtBlue/Yellow= -power ant trigger
Red/Black=+ Lumination
White=Factory Amp Turn on

or you could get one of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...1B+-+MA01.html
that and the dash kit are free if you order your radio from them.
