How to Wire the Radio for a 97 Mazda

To facilitate this, the vehicle comes with a wiring connector that simply needs to be plugged into the radio to utilize it. The radio wiring process should not take more than fifteen minutes. Accessing the radio is fairly simple, since it is only held in by a few screws.
