Yes sir the head unit selects songs, displays album art, even has voice recognition .... "Play (artist name, album name, etc)" Works pretty well. I was able to integrate the steering wheel controls ( volume and source/track skip). You can play back videos /movies from the ipod also.Almost ...
Ok so Vito, my Doberman, will be riding in the "way back" alot. Vito loves rides in the Vibe and he demands his quality appointments. I recently picked up the GM cargo mat which as most of you know covers the area that would be the "trunk" when the rear seats are upright. I neede...
I am 6 feet even and here are my observations: I have notcied on my 09 ( vs the 04 ) the seat seems to be of a better quality however i notice it forces me to sit upright. In particular there is a ridge along the side of the seat ( right and left) that protrudes. If I lean a bit to the right this ri...
cool, I had not seen the matrix steering wheel with controls - thats what I need. I am planning on using this with a AVIC-X920BT not the factory head. Thanks Ponta
Has anyone added the phone controls found on toyota steering wheels to the vl up dow / mode on the vibe? that is upgraded the steering wheel controls to fuller featured controls?
So, I was looking at 09 camry's and noticed how similar the layout of the dash controls are ( 3 large knobs). However the camry's are in my opinion much more attractive.Anyone ever replace the vibe's with teh Camry's?camry dash:
I would have 02 sensor , catalytic checked. My 04 when I first bought it ( brand new) had a sulfur smell which at first I dismissed. After a couple weeks of getting mid 20's for mpg ( on a 1.8l) I brought it to the dealership. Despite no check engine light the catalytic converter and o2 sensor(s) ha...
Not dirty door jambs. the car is pretty much immaculate. I think Ponta2147 is right, the water just makes the armor all stuff, in my case some black magic ( or something) streak.
So, on my 09 it seems evertime it rains I get these streaks on teh ground effects piece. I noticed teh doors have what look like drain holes inside at teh bottom. But what's with the streaks? Is this just beacuse of the plastic conditioner I am using? Anyone else have this issue?Please forgive the c...

I went from an 04 1.8l to an 09 2.4 l. When I went to replace my one gripe with the 04 was the 1.8 l was very doggy when I travelle din teh hills of NC. So I was able stay with a vibe because of the 2.4l option on the 09. As for mileage I did a three week experiment with the 04 during which time I s...
I went from an 04 to an 09. My passenger seat does fold flat and mine is not a "GT" however it is a 2.4L.I too miss the hatch glass popping open. This was a feature I used all the time on the 04. My dog could stick his head out it, I could reach in without "popping the trunk" par...
See the article here:http://content.usatoday.com/co...ing/1"On vehicles equipped with the 1ZZ-FE engine and two-wheel drive, there is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points ....."
I am pretty sure that key would be a waste of money as you can just use a Toyota 35R ket from home depot. There is no active transponder on the original key. I have a 09 with security / immobilizer listed in options list and made a $2 copy at home depot. no issues at all. I do not think any of the V...
Probably not up to par with some of you guys on the mod side of things but....Ir rejecting tint - checkI have an Avic D3 that I may sell and upgrade or installI plan on getting the shark fin antennaThat is all .. for now
Thanks keithvibe, your vibe is awesome!I noticed you also have the sharkfin antenna,something I have been thinking about ordering, how has it worked for you?
I had a key made at Home Depot , Axcess "35". Works perfectly. My car has immobilizer listed as an option when decoding the vin but there is no transponder in the original key. I am repeating and paraphrasing something I read elsewhere that makes sense to me: The Vibe does not have transpo...
First I would like to say hello and thank you for having such a great Vibe owners forum. Really an awesome site. I am not new to the Vibe, just new genvibe. My first Vibe was a 2004 that I recently retired. I am really excited to have a 2009 now and glad to meet you all. Here is "Vibe 2.0"
I think this will be my first "mod" on my 09 vibe. http://www.visualgarage.com/Product_Overview.htmlI did the tint with the high IR rejecting type so maybe this shark fin counts as my second mod. anyone already use one? How well do they work?
