On the stereo faceplate there are 4 holes near the four corners of the unit,there is a special tool that fits in there to remove them.
Basically the tool uses a straight section of wire poked in the hole to remove the spring loaded tab from behind the edge that holds the stereo in.
Four lengths of wire or 4 small screwdrivers in the holes approxiamely 6-8cm will wensure the tabs are unlocked and the stereo should just then pull out.
Ensure you have put the screw drivers in far enough as you wont need to force it to get it out.
Remove the decorative stereo cover. Remove the stereo retaining screws. Pull the stereo out and remove the wiring harness and the antenna cable.

screwdriver, and then pull hard enough to rip out the wires and then there you have it. the way to remove a stock stereo the theft version
How to uninstall your factory/or aftermarket stereo in the 2001 Mazda Protege: first you will need a Radio Removal tool. You can buy this at any parts store. you can remove the cover around the stereo, but that is not necessary - you can just pull the stereo out with this dashboard cover in place. remove the vertical tab edges on your car stereo (if it is the factory stereo that came with the Protege) after these are removed, (you can use the tool you just bought to gently pry off the edges), then you will see the holes to insert the removal tool into. Press the tool ends into the holes on both sides, until you hear them click. It's probably about 1 inch deep. Then, pull on both tool edges, the stereo will just pop out then. unplug the stereo, and connect your new stereo. Push the new stereo system back into the slot making sure it's back in as snugly as the other one. You're done. (you may need an insert, or wiring harness depending on the type of stereo you are putting back in. you can buy these were you buy your stereo.)

Remove the plastic trim panels to the left and right of the stereo with your fingernails or something that will not scratch the plastic. This will reveal four holes on each side. At a Radioshack type store you can buy DIN removal tools. But for a Double Din stereo you will need to buy two such packages. The instructions come with the package.
Ive installed some aftermarket decks in late model mazda's , try wiring your own ground to get the dash lights back... seems the wire that the factory deck grounded with acts as a relay or something with a negative signal running through it
