Re: Delphi Knows About the Issue (esjones)

I use RDS in the Toronto area and I haven't noticed this problem. My biggest complaint is that there are not nearly enough stations broadcasting in RDS, especially as you move away from the Toronto area.Personally, I love the system. I'm not sure that having a Canadian sign your petition will help y...

Re: Typical life of a hydraulic clutch? GT (rantech)

i have a 2003 GT with 56000 Kms. I've only had one other standard and so I expect I'm fairly hard on the clutch and I get that burning smell a few times a month. My clutch still works fine (knock knock knock). What I have noticed in recent months, when changing gears over 6000 rpm there is a noticab...

Re: (Mavrik)

I have an 03 vibe GT with 43000 km on it. I have taken it to the dealer twice, just so they don't forget about me. All other maintenance has been done with my local mechanic. I keep all receipts. I have done this with two other new cars. The only time I was challenged, I produced the receipts and th...

Re: (MJN2)

Mine is also 2001 ver. 1.0It would be nice to know what the upgrades include, although they would have to be very significant to justify the $500.00 price tag for the new CD. I live in Toronto, and the version I have gets me to where I want to go 99% of the time (within Toronto). My Brother-in-law l...

Re: navigation system installed (jim 04)

I purchased my vibe with the nav system factory installed. I love it and use it a lot. There are a couple of components mounted under the drivers seat. I assumed they were part of the nav system. I was told that this type of system uses direct satelite feed, complimented by electronic monitoring of ...

Re: Navigation Owners (Craigmri)

Love it. I'll probably never own a car again that doesn't have it. I'm in consulting, so I spend about 50% of my time out of the office at client meetings, but sometimes I use even when I could probably get there without it, especially when I'm late and travelling on major highways. I can see exactl...

Re: Navigation DVD Version Update (MA-VIBE-FAN)

About two months ago I purchased a dealer demo and the CD for the GPS and carousel for the CD changer were both missing. They both came about 3 weeks after picking up the car. I just checked my version, and it says that it is the 2001 edition of DENSO. I'm assuming that's not the newest version and ...

Re: Radio traffic reports (Myself)

Well, I got my vibe, yippee. That's interesting about the changing data. I haven't checked your link, but I will. The screen randomly switches from Traffic to Weather to news, as I said, but it doesn't do it quickly. Usually pauses at each one for at least a minute, maybe longer. It also alows me to...

Re: Radio traffic reports (Voitek)

I just purchased a vibe with the GPS nav system(dealer demo....made the cost of the GPS more reasonable....pick it up tomorrow, yay). The RDS in it works really well. During a test drive I tuned into 107.1 in Toronto. The display randomly changed from name and artist of song, traffic, weather, news ...

Should I purchase a Vibe?

Hello,You guys seem to enjoy your Vibes a lot. I'm considering purchasing one. I haven't decided between the Vibe or Matrix. Has anyone purchased the GPS? I'm in consulting and sometimes spend 50 - 75% of my time travelling from one new client to the next around the Toronto area. Needless to say I'm...
