Almost 3 years!!! That's a long time! How's your Vibe holding up... with such low mileage! A/C is still dead, died the month after I paid her off! Finally got a clutch that lasts after replacing the stock flywheel, which I honestly think was defective from the factory. Otherwise just needs a good w...

I haven't, but i've thought about it. If I did it, i'd probably use some of those slimline subs so I wouldn't put too much weight on the hatch. If you did full fiberglass and normal subs, you'd definitely have to upgrade the pistons for the hatch.

Yes, dead serious. I, saw Yoda.Well, in the form of a Windows Live Local Tahoe. Judging by the amount of camera hardware on there, and what I think is a 360 camera on top, I'm guessing this is for Windows Live version of Streetview.

Unfortunately, McAfee, like Norton, is one of the most bloated pieces of junk out there.

Yup, I found mine on Pontiac.com and went to my local dealership. Said "I want one of these" and a few days later they called me up with a deal.

Hidden hitch all the way! Put mine on a few years ago and has been doing great. Mostly those 4x8' UHaul trailers, though I did help one of my neighbors pull a car-trailer into position so he could hitch it to his truck.I think I got mine from eTrailer.com.. Can't remember though. Was around $100ish.

That's probably not it if you took the whole box off the wall. There would be more than one cable going in.Usually there's a screw holding the front door on to the thing. You may have to open it up and disconnect the power leads directly. Also a picture of said box may help..

Two reasons.1. Stereo is mixed in a certain way. What's meant to be left channel should be heard by the left ear, and the same for the right. So for one, it's so you know which bud to put in which ear. Imagine how irritating it would be to play a game and hear something on the left when it's actuall...

Yeah, you'll blow the amp leaving it like that. You either need to run each coil to a channel or get a new amp. Running it the way you are, something will fail.Running a two-channel amp bridged to 2 Ohm like that is making the channels see something closer to 1 Ohm, if I understand right. You're goi...

Figures. Those flex cables tend to have issues after time. I think the plastic just turns a little more brittle than they thought and it just splits. The Kenwood MASK units had a similar issue.At least Pioneer is stepping up and fixing it!

Supposed to have 8Mb / 768k. Comcast has been killin' me on the DL. But I don't complain when my UL is consistant.Plus i'm moving this week, hopefully Comcast works better on the other side of town!

Ah, Type-R 6.5". Pretty much anything with a 50w RMS rating will do you. The Alpine amps aren't bad. Kicker and JL amps are pretty nice too.

Our headrests are too small to fit most commercially available monitors. You would have to get something like a 4" screen to use the stock headrests.Companies do sell replacement headrests. I think Accellevision has one for the Vibe. It's a larger headrest that will accommodate the larger scree...

The disc is probably the same for the Matrix and Vibe, but it is not a Toyota disc. IE, the Lexus Nav discs will not work with the Vibe NAV.I think in theory the disc can be copied using a dual-layer burner, but I sold my NAV setup around two years ago, so I don't have the disc..

The factory alarm is not a 'slap in' alarm system. It requires things that probably aren't there if it wasn't pre wired for it, such as the wiring for the glass break sensor.

Alpine Type R's are pretty good subs. They'll hit hard. A four channel amp WILL NOT DO JUSTICE.As far as I remember, when I used to sell them, Type R's are Dual-Voice-Coil subs. Meaning they have two 4Ohm, or two 2Ohm terminals. Which one do you have?Also, they probably push around 300-400w RMS. I d...

USB is nice because it's portable. However most USB tuners put a lot more emphasis on CPU use than PCI tuners. So if you don't want to sacrifice your CPU cycles, stick with PCI.

What, exactly, do you want this card to be able to do? Games? Just web browsing? Video?The 7000 series is about six years old and is now basically 'bargain basement' chipset.

Jahntassa

Actually most Pioneer secondary adapters DO need constant battery power in order to store settings and options. There's no reason that fuse should blow if its connected properly. Make sure to check all your connections, and that you don't have ground and power reversed.

Jahntassa

As raging said, part of the package. On the Vibe your options were power and no power, no in-between. If you want an electric release for your hatch glass, you're going to have to add the solenoid yourself (or have it installed, but aftermarket, not factory)
