I went to the Aux2Car because I wanted to use the docked MiFi XM radio AND my Creative Zen Micro.Well, I was impatient and got the generic Audio2Car kit at Best Buy. It is the same device as A...

Here is my installation of a MiFi on a Braketron generic bracket.I used a unique routing for the power and antenna wire to get it under the dash. I never like previous methods I have seen: laying beside the console, in through the glove box, etc.I entered the dash through the pointy flat part of the...

Well, if you didn't know, the Lotus Elise uses the same Toyota engine as the Vibe GT, the VVTL-i (2ZZ-GE).It appears a Lotus Elise enthusiest club has published PDF sheets of common engine diagnostic and repair tasks. (Some of them have information to the 1ZZ.)Some of the sheets available are:Toyota...

Probably not.GM went throught this with the Avalanche moldings. In the beginning they replaced the plastics, but had too many claims and stopped. There were plenty of GM TSBs on the discoloration. GM went to a process where they applied a product called Armor-Dillo 1 time. After that you are on your...

For those who haven't caught on, the tie down points that go in the tracks are "Bungie Buddies" from the motorcycle world. Of course the Vibe uses a special nut and plastic holder to keep them sliding in the track. The nut looks like nothing more than a piece of metal that has been drilled...

Anyone noticed the carpeted open area right at the corner of the back seat toward the bottom?A nice place about the size of a loaf of bread where you can stuff things.

Same rattle/buzz for me in the same range.For me, I have to drive down a road for about 25 minutes in the "buzz" RPM range.I am going to yank the radio area apart this weekend using the direction given here in anticipation of a XM install.

I read here some were complaining that the center console compartment popping open at inopportune times. Sure enough mine started doing it.Since I need the ride and can't leave it at the dealership I decided to have a go at it.It is obvious that the manufacturing tolerances are loose and the nub tha...

Well, as a member of the Chevy Avqalanche Fan Club I have read many threads where members DO paint the cladding.Usually, this requires the removal of the cladding, roughing it up, then painting.In addition to the paint costs there is also the cost of new cladding clips. (You can remove and reuse but...

Drove it the first time to work. I have a boatload of twisty roads.But, I am moving from a 4speed so learning all of the shift points and shifter positionsis "interesting".Any suggested breakin time for the GT engine before I start getting on it?
