The factory-installed radio and CD player in a Mazda Tribute is positioned in the middle of the dashboard. You may remove the original equipment and install a CD player of your own choosing. The process is fairly easy and painless. It should take you only about 15 minutes to remove the existing radio and CD player and install a replacement.
