Component compatibility, S4-S5

NoDOHC · 12-12-2010, 11:56 PM

Mazda had a couple different radios, even between the series. Some had a graphic equalizer and were different than the ones without. I sold the S5 radio without the equalizer a while back, but I am pretty sure that the connections on the back were different.

I have scrapped several S4s and S5s, so I just keep the series together.

Part number lookup is one way to tell compatibility (at the dealer).

I can't find it now, but there used to be a parts manual for each series on the internet that you could access to cross-reference.

You can also go to NAPA, etc. and see if they list the same part number for both series (works better for GM/Ford/Chrysler than for Mazda).

I wish I could help more.
