I just bought our 05 Vibe yesterday and it does not come with Pass Key. I also own a 2000 Grand Prix GTP with does have PK III. The key from my GTP has a little engraving on it near the base of the key that say's "PK3". The Vibe key does not, and I could not find any literature that says i...

Quote, originally posted by joatmon »it would be interesting to remove the console for an '05 and see if they still run the wire for the outlet. If not, then it would be interesting to drop the junction block above the glove box and see if the relay that sends power to the outlet is still there or ...

I just bought an 05 Vibe and in the bottom of the Center Console is a plug for the hole where the accessory outlet was on the 04's. I would like to have one there, so does anyone know if the wiring would still be there for one, perhaps maybe under the Center Console or under carpet even ?I was think...

Hi All,Just bought my 05 Vibe yesterday. I know you guys are not GM ect.. , but I would like to get some opinions/comments on if you think that if I painted my brake calipers that it would void the warranty ?I bought a brake caliper painting kit to use on one of my other cars, but I never got around...

Thanks for the replies.Not sure if they had "Frosty" in previous model years, and I don't know why, but the Pontiac website shows the 05 "Frosty" color to almost look kind of like a "silvery/grayish" color..........ummm, it's white. lolI'll post some pics after it gets ...
