The Mazda 626 stereo is removed using a special tool, which is required for almost all Ford and Mazda vehicles. In the 626, a small panel must be removed to access the input holes; they are not as immediately visible as other Ford and Mazda vehicles.
The 626 was available with an array of stereo choices. Some models may be equipped with a cassette player; others may be equipped with a single or multiple-disc CDplayer
. The procedure is the same regardless.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable (--) with the pliers before beginning. This will prevent shock when handling the wiring components.
-
Step 2Pry up the metallic trim ring surrounding the gearshift knob. Use a trim tool or a small flat head screwdriver. Once the ring is off, pry up the plastic bezel surrounding the gearshift knob; pull it away from the assembly.
-
Step 3Remove the two Torx screws from behind the bezel (beneath the ashtray). These screws secure the panel surrounding the radio.
-
Step 4Pull the panel surrounding the radio off carefully. Unplug the cigarette lighter plug from behind the panel.
-
Step 5Insert the hook tools into the holes along the sides of the radio (visible with the radio surround panel remove). Push them in firmly until you hear a "click."
-
Step 6Grasp the hooks and push them out to disengage the internal clips. Pull the radio away out of its cavity. Unplug the antenna and wiring harness from behind it.
