Double Din with Bluetooth

I want to change the radio in our 04 Vibe. We would like a simple double din radio, CD player, with a built in bluetooth, and possibly an option to plug in an ipod. We do not want a wired bluetooth microphone, we would prefer it built in also. We have looked at a couple of units, Clarion, and Kenwoo...

CD Player Music Format for 04 Vibe

My wife has burned a CD and tried to play it in her 04 Vibe and it doesn't play. She has changed the types of formats and can't get anything to play. It will play the original CD, but not a burned one. I looked in the owners manual and it only says that if you use a CD-R the music may not play as we...

Re: 18 MPG?!?!

The way my wife drives her Vibe, she gets about 26 all the time.

She is a ricky racer in that thing.

Engine Ticking noise

Last winter I noticed when I drive my wife's 04 Vibe that when I start it up it sounds fine while idling. When I start driving it, if I accelerate normally, the engine will have this ticking noise. Sounds like a lifter ticking. But the noise will go away after the engine warms up. Now what I do is d...

Re: what not to do when you change your serpentine belt

I replaced the belt in my wife's 04 Vibe and the only thing I noticed is that it is easier to put the belt on starting from the bottom (crankshaft) while you have someone(my wife) hold the top of the belt, and then keep it snug until you get it on everything (including the tensioner pulley) except t...

Radio lights going out

My wife's 04 Vibe Radio on the left side where the clock is dark, like a light bulb burned out or the display is failing. It is hard to read the time anymore.

What can we do to fix this?

Thanks

Re: Check the cabin air filter!!!

At first I thought that was our old filter. :lol:

My wife's 04 Vibe's filter looked just the same the first time we replaced it.

I now try and change it every year and it still gets leaves and bugs and stuff on it.

I think if that filter wasn't there, the trash would end up on your floorboard.

Dash board making noise using Recirculion Button

My wife has an 04 Vibe and what I found is that when the Recirculate button is ON, (green light is on) the system works fine with A/C on or off. When you push the button to turn OFF the recirculation (button light goes out) there is a noise that sounds like a soft banging noise. It seems that whatev...

We got it open and found that it had not been installed correctly.On the right side is a little shock absorber to allow...
