That radio might work. Email the seller and ask for the radio's dimentions
and the spacing of the mounts then compare that to your OEM radio.
"RTV" = Room Temperature Vuncanizing. It is basically a rubberized compound
that willharden at room temperature. It handles like a silicone sealant.
As for the transmission, I would not trust a dealer who would tell you to
not change the fluid AND I would change it asap, simple as that.

Hi Brad!
Glad to see another active 90s Imperial owner on the list!
I checked for the cruise control. Nothing. No noise of any kind. Seems like
dead. Of course, I checked the fuse and it's fine.
For the radio, would something like this work:

It has a 5-bands equalizer like in mine while the other one you suggested
has only 3 bands. I noticed that the mounting is not exactly the same,
though.
The oil change has been done last week. I checked the transmission fluid
this morning, after running some errands. The fluid looks new, pure. The
level is fine. So, I'm not sure I want to service the transmission now that
2 different dealers told me to leave it alone. BTW, what is an "RTV"?
The digital display seems to be a bit like a laptop LCD with a stuck pixel,
except that on the Imperial display, the pixel is the whole needle. The
other one seems to work fine, though.
I will have an extensive set of pictures posted soon!
Thanks again!
-Laurent.
