hahaha, you will have to go to your local audio shop and ask for a conversion kit. It may cost you $10USD max.<p>[This message has been edited by VizualXTC (edited September 06, 2001).]

You need a wiring harnesse for you MX-3, it will plug into the old plugs and you solder the other end of the harnesse to your new radio according to specifications

I haven't bought one myself yet, but noticed I that I never saw any for the mx-3, I know there is one for import cars, maybee that one will fit.

I know they exist for my 93 gs. Not only can you plug your factory deck back in(if you decide to sell) it takes about 5 minutes to install the new deck. Definatly worth $15 (can)

I got it from my local car audio store. Any reputable car audio shop should carry it. Where in canada do you live?

sorry I didn't see cambridge. I don't know any of the shops down there but the harness should be for +89 up mazdas (I think, I'll double check tomorrow) not just mx-3 specific. I you go back to your shop the harness will have 2 plugs and the smaller of the 2 plugs will have ONLY 4 wires whick I belive are green and purple

here is a link for a harness. it is about $12.50USD so I don't know what it would be canadian, and I'm not even sure they will ship it there, but I don't know why they wouldn't. It's worth a try tho.<BR> <A HREF="
