my '08 vibe is around 13 months old and has 5000 miles on it. the right rear tire has needed a top off approx once a month for the last 6 months. now with winter coming, i finally want to fix it.aside from the obvious (look for a nail), what would you guess is wrong?could the bead be leaking after s...

ouch! how badly gouged is it? maybe you should insist that they buy you a new part. is it the panel that goes right over the stereo and heater controls? that comes off pretty easy if you were to replace it.

maybe if you can get ahold of that installer again, let him know that Directed DOES have the '08 instructions. he might be able to log on to their site and download them for comparison.

hello Stephie, and welcome to the board!i just found a small local shop that was able to install it. they are trained by Directed, the same place that provides the info to Best Buy (I thought), so i don't know what the problem is with Best Buy.One thing this small shop did differently, they wired th...

took my '08 vibe to bestbuy for a remote starter install. the guy said they don't have instructions for installing on newer model cars, and it could be years before they get them.has anyone had one installed on a 2008? i asked at circuitcity, and they asked if it's the same wiring as...i think they ...

i had a hitch installed on my '03 a few years back. i removed the hitch and wiring harness earlier this month to install on my '08 vibe, and i didn't see any kind of a converter. all of the wires were connected inside the panel access door near the passnger side tail light.i'd like to wire it into m...

thank you for all the replies and suggestions. now how do i convince my wife she has to have a laptop sitting on her lap when we take trips?she 'tolerated' it while we were taking backroads through the north woods, but...

wow, that's cool. wish i had known about it when i had my '03!i just tested this on my '08. works like a charm. i'm now set to mode 3. mode 4 always annoyed us. we'd stop to pick someone up or drop someone off with the engine running, and the doors would be locked. that sucks when it's 30º below ze...

i'm taking a trip tomorrow, and want to plug my Dell laptop into my dash plug outlet. will this be a problem? has anyone else done this?i asked this on a diff forum, and one answer worries me:If the laptop has a switching power supply it may not play well with a basic inverter. I toasted a couple of...

to be honest, i don't really have an answer. we loved our '03, and it still worked fine.i guess we just wanted something new. as a vehicle ages, the mileage can quickly reduce it's value. if we had run it until 70-90,000 miles, we would not have gotten much for the trade.heading down to the car deal...

not sure if my link will work, but here is our new toy in a picasa web album. http://picasaweb.google.com/ta...ZTK3M3/10ths of a mile from the dealership some kids were having fun on the wet roads, did a high speed U-turn, that turned into a 270º turn. i could have easily been putting in an early i...

he actually wanted to give me $8600 for it. after driving the new vibe and talking about it with my wife, we came back and said that was no good. we'd go home and sell it on our own. the manager tried to hide that he was worried. he said, 'what's it going to take to make this happen?' (i think i hea...

they do?! i'll have to go read my owners manual when i clean out the glove compartment.

i've been enjoying my first vibe for 3 years now, a 2003 black vibe with moons n toons. just signed the papers today for a loaded 2008 vibe with monotone salsa. my '03 only had 55k. the dealer would only give me $9100 trade.can't wait til monday. this will be my first brand new vehicle. it has 3 mil...

nothing pretty, but we use 2 regular laundry baskets. put the groceries in them, and they are great for carrying the groceries inside the house.

i'll have to pull it out again this weekend, so i know what i'm talking about. no, i don't have the nav system. just the single disc in dash cd/radio. thanks for finding that adapter. maybe i won't try making something now. it would just look like %$#@.

i've searched through two pages here, and didn't find the info i'm looking for. i want to install my JVC KD-S890 am/fm/cd player (an in dash unit i installed, then removed from my last vehicle) in my '03 vibe with moons n tunes. it will replace the factory cd player. has anyone fabricated anything t...

i had mine installed by bestbuy, but just to have the remote in our cold (removed) wisconsin winters is worth many hours of labor. i can walk up to a window 15 mintues before i get out of work, push a button, and start my car. very little scraping while my coworkers are scraping and cussing.

i purchased a 2003 black vibe from smart motors-madison in september '04, with moons and toons. it was one of the models i had circled in my consumer reports magazine that i took to all the car dealers i visited. the vibe got good ratings in the magazine, and i loved the look. it was a hard sell wit...
