    Replacing aftermarking CD unit

    I just got a 2002 P5 and the previous owner installed a single din cd player. However, it's the biggest piece of crap cd player I've ever seen. It doesn't even have a brand name on it. And as you can imagine, the sound quality is awful. So I am planning on replacing it with an Eclipse CD 5425...

    What do you love about your P5?

    i love the handling, the sporty looks, how "sneaky" roomy it is on the inside, and the fact that i paid cash for it! i dont like the fact that the previous owner was a smoker :( also, the stock stereo does not sound very good.

    The main issue is that the headlight won't turn on. I believe it's because the wire bracket is not working because there is some corrosion in there. I have tried WD40 and I've also tried to clean it. Still no avail. My plan is to take it in tomorrow and have the dealer look at it, as well as...

    Pro5x2 - Thanks for the part number for the washers. However, I was unable to find the license plate bracket on the page. I could find the front plate one, but not the back.

    Pro5x2 - Thanks for the info. The washer nozzles - How hard are those to replace? Where are they located at? I think I'm going to stop by an Autozone during my lunch break to see what ideas they may have. It's very strange!
