I have a 1999 Mazda MX-5 Miata with stock radio (1-DIN). I wish to install a Pioneer DEH-P710BT aftermarket stereo, but the mounting holes aren't similar to the stock Miata stereo. No luck online with any sort of compatible stereo installation mounting kit suitable for a 99 MIata. Help!

The face plate is only lit up half the time making it difficult to see the time and station. Can you replace only the faceplate! Everything else works fine. If so, where might I find one?

Following your instructions I have the radio loose but cannot pull it far enough out to get to the connectors. I'm afraid to pull any harder. Any ideas how to get to the connectors? My radio is about twice as high as the one in your pictures. I have to get the right amp out so I can replace it. I have an ’04 Mazdaspeed with the Bose with 6 CD changer.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:58:45 +0000 http://www.chuckegg.com/mazda-miata-radio-removal-and-replacement/#comment-6435 Your instructions were very helpful. I have a question, I purchased a radio for a 1999 Miata and want to install it in a 1997 Miata, wondering before I start what problems may I incurr and solutions for them. Thank you. Mike C. Chuck Eglinton's Answer: Hi Mike. Unfortunately, I don't know of any specific differences in the radio installations for those years. All the Miata radios I've seen are the same dimensions so the radio should fit. Also, all the Miata radio harnesses from 1990 to 2002 are the same, so you should be able to plug the wiring harness into the new radio after removing the old Miata radio. Good luck.

Chuck: Hi Susan. I installed the Lazar VBD2900 MU in both my car and a truck I drive in the winter. A variety of companies sell inexpensive replacement AM/FM radios that have CD players and MP3 players and USB and/or SD Flash memory slots. Use Google or some other search site to search for this term-> Auto CD/MP3 USB Hi — what inexpensive radio did you buy ?
