Here's the standard head unit. I have to laugh at the 929 sales brochure's description of the stereo:
... yeah... about that...THE SOUND OF THE FUTURE
Another enjoyable feature on this new Mazda V6i is the superb 6 speaker audio system. This system contains stereo AM/FM radio, electronic tuner, hig power amplifier, graphic equaliser and cassette deck.
All of these components are especially blended to offer the ultimate in listening and driving pleasure....

You'll need to remove the panel under the glovebox first so you can access the first of 2 10mm nuts to remove.

After taking these 2 nuts off, the unit should just slide out. Surround and all.

Now, one by one, starting pulling out all these plugs (takes a while.. there's enough there to keep a grown man busy! hahaha)

Once all that is done, you should see the pretty picture below:

OK, Don't lose the mounting bracket... you need that. So, unscrew all the "superb" components with a philips head screwdriver (or cordless tip).

You'll notice it practical falls apart once you unscrew it all. Now, you have your bracket, let's get down to business...
