I have a 2004 Mazda 3 in which i'm installing an AUX Auxiliary Adapter.

But i've never removed or messed with the radio, so i was wondering if anyone could provide pictures or steps to geting and removing the radio to connect the adapter.

Thank You in advance!

Radio removal is easy, though it was a while back so maybe you figured it out by now.

Open the glove box, the trim piece that runs across the face of the radio and over the glove box has a cutaway finger spot that you can pull on to pop the trim off. The far right is not a clip, but a slide sort of thing, so pull that to the left, not straight out or it'll break.
Two screws are at the top of the radio that hold the dash center trim piece in place.
Under that there's two screws that hold in the radio - the bottom of the radio is held in with clips like the first trim piece. So just pull and you should be all set.

Be careful when moving the radio in and out since it can catch on the temp control trim below. Mine's got a dent in that trim from the MP3 player upgrade from the factory (that's installed at port).

Good luck.
