You will want to first check whether you own a Miata with a Bose Sound System or not (there should be a Bose logo on the speaker grills).

If you do not own a Bose System using an aftermarket radio adapter kit from Metra will help you wire it in very easily. Therefore, the only difficulty is removing the stock head unit. This can be done by prying off the two, small plastic covers on each side of the radio. Be careful not to mar your radio bezel that goes around the whole control center.

The removed plastic covers will expose holes so that you can use a Ford radio removal tool. Place the tool in the holes and push out sideways. This will unlock the radio, and then slowly pull the tool out while keeping outward pressure.

If you have a Bose system, it is powered by an external amplifier hidden deeper in the dash. Therefore, if you purchase an aftermarket stereo, you will also need to bypass the stock amplifier and upgrade all speakers from the Bose Stock 1/2 ohm speakers to 4 ohm speakers as well. If you are headed down this road, it is easier to simply rewire the car speakers rather than attempt to use the stock wiring for anything other than power, ground and antenna.
