@erich Which dealership in Seattle did you get it from?

49k on the car. Black 2003 MSP. It's my brother's car. I have a 2003 P5 auto. Thinking about converting my P5 to an MSP P5. Maybe rebuild the engine with stronger pistons etc and putting it in my car. A lot of work, but what a sleeper that would be!

A moment of silence please..... Thanks. Got T-Boned by some chick that ran a red light. Insurance is totaling the car. Major front end damage. We can keep the car for $1600. Should we? Maybe part it out? Ebay? Rebuild it? Opinions please.

Thanks again guys. I'm all over this because it will be my little brothers first "real" car. I'm pretty sure it had the regular protege 16" rims and not the 17's I see in the pictures. I just found a copy of the 2003 MSP brochure. I'm going to print that out and bring it with us as I'm sure...

Thanks for the replies. We're going back in the morning and I plan on kicking them on the price. I'm a little worried about it having the regular protege radio if all MSP's came with the kenwood. Maybe the kenwood was problematic so they replaced it with a stock unit? What does the sub look...

My brother is about to buy a 2003 black MSP with 40K. $16K and they are going to give him 2K trade in for his POS kia (which isn't worth $500). There are a couple of things that worry me though. The dealer says that it still has 10K on the factory warranty. When we test drove the car, the rear...

This is the way to do it. Check out these P5's http://www.protege5.com/vbb230/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25143&highlight=carputer Over at mp3car.com (the BEST forum for car-computing) http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=20200...

drock27: I'll write down the wiring as soon as I have a chance, but it was pretty self explanatory for me - power, gnd, acc, speakers - and +. wahine: You need a line out converter if your amp does not have speaker level inputs. like I said earlier, I tried connecting the basslink to the...

I'll think about selling the stock unit, Think the wife wants me to keep it (not sure why). vlad: Look under the cover in the hatch, it should be somewhere around there. Mine was run directly to the spare tire which is where the factory unit is. Not sure where it would be otherwise, but I...

VPower: I may possibly sell the sub, depends on what it's worth, but you probably won't like it much. It is better than no sub at all, but not by far. You cannot even tell there is a sub at highway speeds. Sounds almost decent sitting still. tmht: The Basslink sounds great! My wife has an...

Found this on the MPVclub forum www.javadoc.net/mpvclub/supersoundwiringdiag.tiff Looks like the wiring for the mpv 9 speaker system, but I think the sub wiring might be the same for the P5. The only thing I don't understand from that diagram is which is + and - on the speaker wires. Plan on...

Yeah, it came with this cheesy little sub that sits on the spare tire. Midyear refresh standard option or something like that.

Need some help here. I bought an infinity basslink on ebay to replace the lame factory sub in my new p5. I need the pinouts of the factory sub harness so I can wire it to the basslink (except the power line of course). I'm assuming that the stock sub uses speaker level inputs?? Searched the...
