if you're cd player magically "stopped working" and mazda stold you it'd be $500+ to fix, and you said "fuck it, i'll replace it I myself" hit that damn like button.

ok nvm i fixed it. it was those connectors to the front panal. i had to remove the cd player panal metal thing with the black stripe. i didnt put it in right and it was making the board crooked so it wouldnt fit in flush. took it out and it solved my problem. WOOT!
