Would any one know what the ATF capacity is if you were to flush the torque converter also? I know just to drain the pan it's 4.27 qts. but not sure what's left in the torque converter and cooler.

What better forum then the Vibe forum to find out whether it's safe to use Toyota ATF T-IV on the Vibe. I'm sure there's got to be plenty who have gone this route. Just wondering if they have experienced any problems.

joserobl

Was looking to change my ATF myself so called around for price on ATF Type IV and was told it sells for $17.94 qt. I'm like WHAT! So I called Toyota and their ATF Type IV goes for $6 qt. so I'm like what? again. Called another GM dealer and asked why that is ? The Parts guy tells me it has to do wit...

Well took my car in today to have it checked, and wouldn't you know it the CEL went off and the car was not acting up. Took it in anyway cause I had an appointment. The service guy said, that happens alot and the code should still be available. After 10 min. the machanic came back to say he got a P2...

joserobl

Thanks for your responce. I'm ready for them now

2005 Vibe, 28,000 miles CEL came on the other day, the transmission started shifting hard. Banging into reverse or drive from park, banging into second, third and fourth gear. Went to Auto Zone to have them read the code and the code P2716 rung up. According to their computer, it could be open or sh...

joserobl

I was thinking if they did maybe the part could be added. Guess not.

joserobl

I wonder if they ever came with a lock when they first made the Vibe?

joserobl

I've got an 05 Vibe and it did not come with a lock on the glove box. Has anyone added one and if so was it difficult?

joserobl

Yes it makes sense now. I'll do that this weekend. Thanks alot appreciate the help.

Your right the radio is powering the speakers. I don't have the amp plugged into the HU right now till I figure out which wires to cut and connect to the amp.

joserobl

First let me say the amp was first hooked up with the stock HU with the instuctions Poppypants gave me and worked fine. Then I decided to buy a new HU w/RCA's. I connected the speaker wires back up on the harness thinking all I had to do now is plug in the RCA cables to the amp and HU, but it sounds...

joserobl

I have 3 sets of RCA's front output rear output and subwoofer or non fading output

joserobl

To elaborate all I can say is look at this as a new install. Amp is installed as said and a new HU installed. Connected a metra wire harness to stock harness and plugged in.

joserobl

Glad you responded cause you helped me out last time when I was installing the amp to the stock HU. That was the answer you gave me then and it worked fine but this time around I've eliminated the stock HU and installed a new HU with rca connections so I don't think I'll need the connection you gave...

joserobl

Bought a Pioneer DEH-P7700MP HU yesterday and installed it no problem works great! Only problem is when I plugged the rca's to the amp I hear no difference. Don't understand why amp isn't powering the system. The way I had the amp hooked up before was with speaker level input wires. I spliced into t...

joserobl

Thanks to everyone who has responded. Your help is appreciated.

joserobl

What can be powered by this outlet? Can you power a dvd player?

joserobl

Can anyone tell me what that small box is under the drivers seat? I have an 05 with just the basic cd system NO MT. It looks like a little amp on a stand.

joserobl

That's the picture I saw awhile back. Nice, I like the idea of being able to remove the speaker when you need the extra cargo space. I think it's a little more money going that route though. Amp, 10" subwoofer, box, wiring kit vs amp/speaker like a bazooka, a kenwood WooX or a Infinity Basslink...

joserobl

I would really like to see those pictures. There was another member that did the same thing and had some pictures posted. Before I installed my amp I checked that location out but it did not fit.

joserobl

I'm leaning towards that. Maybe and amp/woofer combo like a bazooka or something. Thanks for your help.

joserobl

Thanks for your insite.

joserobl

Thanks, that seems to be the consensus here.

I've installed an Alpine MRP-F240 4 channel amp 360 max pwr 40x4 rms. it's connected to the stock HU. I replaced the speakers with Polk Audio db 650's. Not enough bass from speakers so now I'm looking to install a 10" subwoofer if there is enough power in the amp. Could someone tell me what's t...

joserobl

Now I get it . Took a better look at the amp and one end has the input and the other end has the output. Your right that's alot of wiring. Now I see how RCAs have a great advantage. What a bummer got to get another 30 ft of wire. Thank You so much for your help it's greatly appreciated

joserobl

I'm a little confused. I thought that just tapping into the stock HU speaker harness would be good enough. So I should cut the speaker wire + / - and the part that goes to the speakers I should connect to the amp? what about the other end ? do I just tape it up? Sorry but it's my first time installi...

joserobl

Just installed a Alpine MRP-F240 but puzzled as to why it has no effect on the system. I have an 05 Vibe w/base cd system. I'm using the stock head unit. I've replaced the stock speakers w/Polk audio speakers. I've connected the speaker wires to the stock harness using squeeze connectors. The Amp po...

joserobl

Mike, you can also get detail in regular version too as joatmon has shown. Thanks for your help.

joserobl

joatmon, EXCELLENT!!!!! just what I was looking for. And plenty of detail. Thank you very much. your help is greatly appreciated.

joserobl

Mike, thanks for help but I'm not too computer savy. I checked out Irfanview.com and don't quite get it. I was hoping someone could just make it smaller and repost it for all. Why would someone post this diagram so big anyways?

joserobl

There is a popular wiring diagram that is referred to quite often, but it is huge an I can't seem to figure out how to print it out so it would fit on a sheet of paper. Can someone tell me how to go about doing that? Never really had that problem. This is the page http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...o....

joserobl

Thanks for your input. Any suggestions?

joserobl

So your saying that rather then spend $225 on an amp and wiring kit I should opt to buy a better head unit instead?

joserobl

Replaced stock speakers with Polk Audio db650's and was disappointed with performence with the stock head unit . So looking to add an Amplifier to the stock reciever. Does anyone have any recommedations on an amplifier? The speakers are rated at 60 watts RMS 180 Peak pwr. Have gone to Crutchfield al...

joserobl

Just to let you know I finished installing the speakers and it wasn't to bad. I ended up tearing apart the stock speakers to use the same brackets. I come to find though that the stock head unit just isn't enough to do the speakers justis. So now I'm looking at installing an amplifier to the stock h...

joserobl

Isn't that for the MT system? I have the base system. Thanks though for the help

joserobl

Thanks, would you happen to know the color scheme for the front also? Don't know the colors yet cause I haven't taken the panels off.

joserobl

I have the base stereo in my Vibe and decided to replace the stock speakers with some Polk db650's. I've run into a snag though. I started with the rear doors and found that both right and left door speaker wires are red and white not sure which is - or +. Would anyone Know the wiring color scheme f...

joserobl

With so many 2 way 6.5's available. Even if you have the spacer don't the front have to be a certain depth?

joserobl

I know that the front speakers need to be thin but how thin ? I just figured that 3 ways would be better then 2. What model # are your Pioneers?

joserobl

No I don't have the MT system just the base w/cd. Wouldn't 3way be better then coaxial? I've read where some guys have gutted the stock to use the stock spacer good or bad idea?

joserobl

Just bought an 05 Vibe but not happy with the speakers. Would like to replace with after market. Just looking for decent sound at a decent price. What seems to be the popular speaker with some nice bass? Also what size? I checked out crutchfield and it states I have 5 1/4 in front and back. I was lo...
