Well, sure, if you can find a male harness to go into the radio, the mazda schematic for the radio, a female adapter for our harness, and make a custom bracket for it to fit.

eh, i don't know about that one. i put a cheap deck in my dads colt because someone jerked the factory tape deck out of it. really, who steals a 15 year old factory TAPE DECK??? idiots...

oddly enough, about a year and a half ago someone stole the factory tape deck out of his 94 ford f350 too...maybe he just has someone who doesn't like him ?

It does look pretty ghetto however putting a ford factory radio in a chevy, or vice versa.

Another thing you're going to have to take into consideration is impedence that the radio puts out.

a lot of them are in some way or another. maybe not as clear cut as a ford or gm logo on it, but at least something such as delco or like a chrysler star on it... i dunno, seems like a lot of work. just put a stock one in from whatever car you wanted, and hide the aftermarket one somewhere. then you don't have to hook up the one from another car maker, it just fills the space in the dash, and you keep the extras of the aftermarket one. just gotta find a reachable place, or use a remote.

Leave your stock deck in the dash and mount one in your glove box. that would be custom and no one would even thing about you having one. and if you want a plain headunit get a lower model alpine. usually a good buy.
