The memory wire on aftermarket stereos are usually blue, The one on the protege, I am not sure what color it is, get yourself a multimeter and leave the key out of the ignition, than check all of the remaining wires that are in the protege, which ever one still has power is the memory wire that you need.. I don't think it is going to be black or red, those are the grounds and the Ignition power..

I'll look at mine and see what color I have hooked up to the memory on my stereo. I'll post back later..

usually we just get a wiring adapter from the local shop that just plugs into the fatory radio harness, in the future do that and you will be in good shape. But for this issue got to this site and click on mazda it will give you the colors and wires for what you are tying to do :
