tried unlocking with the factory fob.. Still a no go :( its weird that once the remote start is activated (and shortly afterwards) it works fine.. And if I remember correctly, when I had the alarm disarm/rearm wires hooked up, the lock and unlock function always worked fine. what if I hook the lock/...

...when trying to unlock a lot of the time it just chirps and blinks... Chirps? How did you get it to chirp? Mine has always been silent. There is a horn output wire on the remote start that you connect to the horn wire in the ignition harness, then (with DEI systems anyway) you have to enable and ...

Those two wires you're using are for the lock/unlock switch in the driver's door, so the lock shouldn't disable the unlock side of the switch. Are you still using the factory remote? Try unlocking with the factory remote, then stop using it. Does that help? EDIT: I just looked up the installation m...

Do you know which wires you tapped for lock and unlock? I had a similar issue when I disarmed the alarm and gave the normal key to the service guy. When I got the car back and tried to unlock with my alarm remote, it would chirp and flash, but didn't unlock. I had used the unlock wire from the swit...

Here's how I mounted my antenna (it's the thing on the top left). http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo285/gimmegimme_/IMG_0106.jpg Good call gimme, mine was a smaller module with 4" stiff wire antenna coming out of it- I tucked it sideways right about where yours is and it's just small enough...

Ok guys.. so I got the system installed finally.. Only issues really were a few wires that were hard to get to with a soldering iron, such as the brake light wire. That area around the driver's side floorboard is NOT giant friendly! Lol I had to tweak some things here and there but I'm banging my he...

Well, after much staring at my engine compartment and banging my head against the wall, the problem is solved. I did end up having to go to a mechanic, who was equally stumped by the apparent lack of a fuse. He spoke with some parts guys at the local GM dealer, who listed no part for any type of hea...

Moter and resistor are good.. power applied directly to motor makes it work fine. I know it's the fuse but how do you replace it? This "bus bar" in the fusebox apparently contains it but I don\t see any way to get to it

Yea I connected the ACC wire of the remote start to both of those thin grey wires, since they were connected to the same pin. I have the Starter wire from the remote start connected to the black wire in the ignition; so from what y'all are saying, the 2nd starter wire is only in the GT? Mine's an 09...

So the blower motor in my gf's 2009 Vibe gave out and I'm almost certain it's just the fuse- if I turn the fan control from off to lowest setting, I hear the relay click, but nothing blows out.. then still nothing blows out no matter the fan setting. I'm having a (removed) of a time getting to the f...

I'm also annoyed by the ginormous fob-integrated factory key- if I can get this bad boy installed I'll be getting a plain key cut as well. I'm in the middle of the install as we speak, believing that I don't need a bypass. I'm hoping somebody may be able to help with a few wires I'm having trouble w...

Hey all, I'm planning on installing a Viper keyless entry/remote start in my gf's Vibe for Christmas, but I have a question I'm having a hard time finding the answer to: Do I need to also install any type of bypass? I've looked around the forums and found that I need to check her glovebox for produc...

Thanks for your suggestions! Just an update.. I am going out of town tomorrow on a total 2,000+ mile trip, so I thought it best to get it looked at quickly before I go.. I was doing the mechanic prayer (pleeassse be something cheap, please be something cheap..) the whole time, and I got lucky: they ...

Hey y'all, Fairly new here and I haven't had the money to do any mods on my new-to-me 07 Vibe Base, so I haven't been on much.. But I'm having an issue I'm hoping someone can shed some light on. My drivers side front wheel makes a rattling noise. It only does it when I hit a bump or am making a righ...

you're awesome! Thanks!!

hey y'all, I just got a genuine GM glove box latch, as the previous owner's apparently broke off and they had it duct taped to the dash lol. The problem is they of course didn't provide the screw to mount it onto the glovebox door. It looks like its just one small screw that would hold it on. Can an...

hey y'all- just bought my first vibe a few weeks ago! A 2007 w/ 42k miles. Got a good deal on it and figured I'd start off right with the maintenance. So first I wanted to ask what you would recommend as far as scheduled maintenance, given I just got it and have no records of what's been done other ...
