Need that glove box handle assembly, ours is broken.
If I could get it without the glove box attached would be great, lmk... I'm in Courtice(Oshawa) haven't been down your way in a while, so most likely would have it shipped to my work.
technically no, lol they put it out of place and then they couldn't put it back on properly... then my wife closed it and couldn't open it, she broke the handle trying to open it, lol
My wife loves her 04 AWD... I drove it in the snow the other day and it definitely is a tank in the snow, it just goes. When we bought the car, even though reviews said it was slower and heavier and the fuel mileage was lower than the FWD models, watching this video made me realize that we had made ...
They still have Toyota meets in Sauga??? lol who knew... I'm in Durham as well, there are Friday night Subaru meets at the Timmies on Thickson and Consumers dr that I sometimes go to, maybe we should get a bunch of area guys and meet there. I'd probably be taking my XRS Corolla though, not the Vibe ...
do you still have the 2zz intake with PRM filter?? I just picked up a Corolla XRS so I'm looking for one, let me know and I'll take it if it works with this 2ZZ.
Quick question... what if I was to run the wires from the amp on the JVC head unit into the wires going to the amp (so technically feeding 10w or whatever from the HU to the amp) would this blow the amp or would it be ok?
Mine does that too, and mine is a JVC... Dual is a cheaper brand so it's not the stereo that's the problem, it's the OEM amp picking up noise I believe.
offset is the distance of the mounting points from the center of the wheel... usually a 1-2 digit positive or negative number like +45, 0(zero) or -15, etc...
you're describing Bolt Pattern when you say 5x114.3 or 5x100.
I think you're good there, though my harness actually came with the antenna adaptor included... Scosche branded and bought at Walmart. I did look at an E2 branded harness at Canadian tire and it also included the adaptor.
bought our 04 Vibe about a month ago, now that spring is here I'm thinking of attemting to revive our paint, the car is white and dull, way too dull... a well taken care of car no doubt, just don't think these people knew how to take care of their paint. I'd like to see some pics of what you had to ...
no it won't... the blinking light is antitheft for the HU only, as far as I could tell... unless your car was actually advertised and proven as having an "alarm system" most cars come with keyless entry, not really alarm... just remote to lock/unlock your doors.
Just noticed this thread and know it's old... but funny thing was before we bought our older (albeit cheaper) Vibe, we were considering either an 09 Vibe with the 2.4L and a 2009 Elantra touring, both were (and I think still are) at the same dealership, I drove both and was amazed at the ride qualit...
yeah there's an optional pocket... meaning you can take it off and put a double din unit instead of single din... great kit, just need to fit it better on the sides, I'm going to try that now actually, lol.
all PMs and Emails have been replied to. Shocked it is still sitting on a shelf :o I bet is the lack of bluetooth, everyone seems to be looking for that, specially now that laws have changed regarding driving with your phone on your head and the $500+ fines everyone is getting when they get caught.
a Resonator will make the system quieter, not by much but you will notice it... these are meant for use with aftermarket straight through mufflers most of the time, as they'll drown out the droning sound of an aftermarket muffer. if you're still on the oem exhaust, then really there's no use for it ...
Just finished my install, wiring was easy as always... I bypassed the HU's amp and used a pair of cheap RCA's that were the only ones I could find, these are running to the OEM amp... also found a good spot for the BT microphone, fit like a glove. my only problem now is I've picked up a thump everyt...
got my dash kit and harness (scosche branded) at Walmart, this was in Canada but I believe the US walmart carry them as well... the harness I got even came with the antenna adaptor.
There's a meet at Kennedy commons in Scarborough on march 30th (8pm'ish), I usually organize these for toyotanation and dorikaze (canadian old school toyota site) depending on weather, I may be either driving the Vibe (if still snowing) or my Supra... if anyone is in the area, come by and say hi. :)...
I just upgraded my "Moon & Tunes" system on my '04 GT. I got my system through Crutchfield, which they supplied the free GM adapter harness - which has the blue and white stripe "amp & antenna turn on wire". I got a Kenwood system; Kenwood Excelon KDC-X796 CD Receiver, K...
vibebolista, you have any close up pics of your car?? I found a set of 17x7 ET38's for a good price, just curious as to what the size looks like and what tire size you run.
awesome thread man, gives me a lot of ideas and tells me mine is not going to be easy, probably the most challenging install yet for me. (I'm used to quick installs on my toyotas lol) I have the same system, minus the sub... quick question, if I were to run speakers wiring like you did, could I run ...
tpoullauf: I'm in Clarington east of Toronto... she does a lot of driving due to our kid's sports events, so she was racking up the mileage on the Sonata, now that she has the Vibe, the Sonata has become my beater, lol :D thebarber: that's a familiar name from TN, I think I almost bought some of you...
apparently not having the amp makes it easier to upgrade... I would at least opt for a radio one step up from this one, at least then you could get USB and Bluetooth capabilities. Usually Pioneer decks are decent, stay away from cheap brands like Jensen, Dual, etc... Pioneer, JVC, Alpine, Clarion, e...
I just bought an 04 Vibe with the same 6speaker system plus amp (minus sub), someone on another thread mentioned that you can use the pre-amp outputs on your new head unit and use pre-cut RCA cables and connect them to the new harness instead of connecting the actual speaker cables to the harness......
I bet it's just a matter of replacing the bulbs (which probably have red condoms over them) to a hyperwhite LED... I did this with one of my cars and got rid of that old school yellow, looks much better.
Hi guys, new member here (though I've been around a few Toyota sites for a while) So finally found a new beater for my wife... she was driving our Sonata and I was driving a 96 AE102 Corolla sedan, however she always thought the Sonata was too big for her and no way in h.ell she would ever drive the...
