)! It's good to hear the Vibe is adjusting to that frigid Alaska weather. What have you done to your Vibe besides the obvious interior lighting? Do you have any future plans for it?
i was just looking through the pics of your vibe
LOL! It's cool to see another Liquid Platinum Metallic GT on here. Surprisingly there aren't that many on here that post regularly.navyrican wrote:Thanks for the welcome
i bought it for my birthday sep 2011 and the only thing ive done so far is install the HID headlights/foglights, the interior LED kit, White LED's replaced all the normal lights on the inside and the plate light and i had to have the car winterized here with a trickle charger, oil pan heater and transmission fluid heater (i believe). I don't know much about vehicles to be honest, im a network administrator but i love driving my vibe. I call my vibe "El Jefe" (means "the boss" in spanish)
Oh and i had to replace the stock battery for a yellow top optima battery and replaced the alternator (required for all the lights)
! I've changed out pretty much all the lighting on mine too. The one last thing I need to get is some LED bulbs for the reverse lights.
!That would be so awesome to have!navyrican wrote:I'm planning to do a custom paint job in the near future along with a performance upgrade to the exhaust. But im debating because i was in talks recently to purchase another vehicle (pic below) which would tie up my fun fund for a bit.
currently working out logistics to have it shipped to florida.
..... even if it's six months later 
Don't know how I missed this one earlier. Just curious if your steering wheel audio controls still work with your new Pioneer head unit? I hear it is almost impossible to mate that feature to aftermarker units. Also I'd assume you did not use the Siruis/XM feature or the overpriced OnStar. Up there you may want to get a different set of rims & winter tires ... although your winters there are probably 8 months long as compared to4-6 months down here. Nice ride so far navyrican wrote:so thats why that was in the instructions lol so i guess it wont do any harm to do it after the fact right? if i just disconnect the negative battery cable and reconnect it, it will still reset it.
Yeah, that's why it was in the instructionsnavyrican wrote:i am just learning about all this car stuff, ill admit to not knowing anything at all prior to messing with the vibe, even learned to change the oil recently lol
I have always just taken my car to a shop to get such things done, but here in alaska being remote and working nights, i have had to do a lot on my own time on my own or with friends to help.
! As long as the Vibe is running fine, I wouldn't be too worried about it, but if it starts running weird or you get a check engine light or something, I would definitely disconnect the negative battery cable and let it sit for about 30 minutes before hooking it back up.! And you always have your fellow GenVibers here to help with any questions, issues, etc. you may have !
