yea good vid, however my '01 had a slight variation... it required the U shaped tool, not a simple probe like you demonstrated. It required you to insert two in each side, which was not too easy to get the radio out with! You video was a great start though, thanks for posting!

Whoever designed the radio system in this Mazda needs to burn in a special firey pit in hell.

One side of my radio comes loose just fine but the other motherfucker refuses to budge. &)$&! Thanks for the video though, it's right on.

It looks so easy to pull it out in the video but so far I have no luck when I tried to stick in the screw driver and tried to pull it out. Would a DIN tool help?

This is great, but not for 2006 Miata. The 2006 dash is completely different from the one in the video.
