quote:Mine was the same way, until I DISCONNECTED the damned thing!!! Pop the sensor out (it just snaps in) and UNPLUG IT! Then put it back. I tied the wire and plug to the bottom before I put it back so it wouldn't rattle, and so I could reconnect it if I ever wanted to. (As if.....)I now know what...

The Mazda 6 uses the same mounting button on the windshield. The Vibe mirror is secured with a screw. Tha Mazda mirror uses a clip (basically, a spring tab that puts pressure against the button as you slide the mirror on). No adapters needed, simply remove the screw from the stock mirror, slide it o...

Yep, switched power and ground are all you need. I had previously spliced into the cigarette lighter plug power lead when I wired up my radar detector, so I used this same power source for the mirror. I ran the mirror wiring up the pass. side A pillar and under the front edge of the headliner over t...

1) Need lights on the door controls2) One touch down on the front passenger window3) Acc. power after removing key until door is opened (the Corvette has spoiled me...)4) Leather interior option5) Forget about relocating the auto headlamp sensor, just get rid of it6) Cigarette lighter that is powere...

Sorry I missed it, looks like it was a great success.

I just installed one in my car last week. I bought the one for a Mazda 6, it uses the same mount. It doesn't have the map lights. Install was a snap.http://www.mazdastuff.com/product.cfm?ProductID=1297

Won't be able to make it Y'all have a good time, looks like the weather should be good

Did you use a cigarette lighter plug, or did you tap into the power behind the dash somehow?I tapped into th...

quote:So to run power for a radar detector up to near the mirror do you need to pull the whole headliner or just the A-pillar trim? I really need to get rid of that coiled cord hanging down from the detector.No need to remove the headliner. Just pop the A pillar trim. I would recommend going up the ...

RTV = Room Temperature Vulcanizing (Silicone sealer)I should be able to get some pics up tomorrow after I get the mirror installed

The seat belts do have a torque spec in the manual. I think it was around 40 ft-lbs, if you need to know exactly, I can look it up for you.Once the liner is out, everything is accessible. Installing my XM antenna is exactly why I had the headliner out. I mounted the antenna at the trailing edge of t...

It's a molded fiberboard. It is pretty stiff, but if you don't get everything out of the way and you start torquing on it, you can buckle it pretty easy.

I just did this on Saturday. It is actually not difficult. A pillar trim must come off, it just pops off. The Upper center pillar trim must come off. Remove the front and rear door sills, and then the lower trim (these pieces all just pull off). Pop the cover off the upper seat belt anchor, and remo...

quote:Was thinking about adding XM.. But not sure to get a whole new HU or just the XM addition. Rob - be sure and check out my Delphi SkyFi install on Saturday. I am running it into my Pioneer DEH5500 HU, and it sounds really good. Took a 2800 mile road trip in May with the Corvette, and having XM ...

My plan is to mount the XM antenna on the roof right behind the factory antenna. Then, I am going to put a small grove in the base of the factory antenna to accept the XM wire (and seal it back up with a bit of black RTV), and then run the XM wire right along side the factory antenna lead (which I a...

In a couple of weeks I will finally get around to installing my Delphi SkyFi XM reciever. Was wondering if anybody has removed their headliner and if you have any tips. I have the sevice manual, but sometimes there is an easier or better way

Ed - yep, I am 70L46 on corvetteforum. '00 Pewter hardtop. You have/had a Nassau Blue coupe, right? Still have it? I haven't seen you post over there in awhile.

Count me in 4

Those look really great I've got the Yokohama AVS ES100s on my car and really like them.

Thanks millster

OK, how does one go about getting the GenVibe decals???

As long as I am in town, I will be there! Look forward to meeting a bunch of fellow Vibe owners (and for the record, I am part of the "old fart" demographic )

I have had my Vibe since November, just signed up on the forum. This car was meant to stay stock, and be my winter car, but I can't leave anything alone, so I'll be on the look out for new ways to spend money on this car

Just got my new wheels. 17x8 Boyd Coddington Smoothe 2s with 225-45-17 Yokohama AVS ES100s. The new rubber is a huge improvement over stock, and the look, well, judge for yourselves. I like 'em

Bought my Vibe last November as my "winter car" - but now that spring is here I am enjoying it too much, and have started the mods So far, the audio system has been replaced and I just got my Boyd Coddington Smoothe 2 wheels (17x8 with Yokohama 225-45-17 AVS ES100s). Next up will be the Ho...
