Has anyone put one of the new Eclipse double-din head units w/ detachable TomTom nav in their Vibe? Curious what it looks like installed (if it sticks out too much, etc.)(This is the one I'm talking about:)http://www.gpsreview.net/tomtom-eclipse-avn2210p/ More generally, I've also heard that a lot o...

The cargo mat did come standard with my 2006 base Vibe. Yeah, it does not have cutouts for the rails. Also, it only covers the "trunk" area behind the back seats, i.e. when you fold the seats flat, there's nothing to cover the front half of the resulting cargo area. That said, the mat is v...

And it's accessible/exposed under the passenger seat right, not beneath the carpet?

This is obviously a dumb question.. but how do I know if my Vibe has a stock external amp installed or not? It's only got 4 speakers and base single CD.. but now that it's summer, I've been driving around with the windows down. And to be honest, the music can still go surprisingly loud. To me it see...

I'm really into the new Fit although I haven't seen one in person, maybe it'd be ugly. When I bought my Vibe the Vibe was physically on the large side of what I was looking for but I really liked (and still love) the Vibe/Matrix's flexibility: not too big or gas-hungry for one person or two people, ...

So it turns out there's a weight sensor involved with the airbag light as well, and with the seatbelt unbuckled it's not the same weight as the seatbelt alarm..Talking about the passenger seat:With belt unbuckled:- No weight in seat: "AIRBAG" (and apparently airbag doesn't deploy when the ...

Thanks.. there must be a little more to it since there's no child seat and I'm the only one in the car at these times, so it's not the seatbelt being buckled.. maybe it also has to do with putting a small amount of weight on the seat such as a bag at the beginning of the trip; perhaps it sees that a...

When there's someone in the passenger seat, my passenger airbag light says "Passenger: Airbag ON"..But how come when there's no passenger, it sometimes says "Passenger: OFF Airbag" and at other times just "Passenger: Airbag" (neither on nor off is lit)? It doesn't seem ...

Quote, originally posted by GMJAP »I'll have to try your DIP switch setting...Yeah flipping DIP switch 6 to "On" definitely increased the volume by about 50%. It takes about a second to take effect, but you don't need to reset the Aux2Car, you can do it while everything's running/playing.

Quote, originally posted by Jahntassa »I think the recirc button is electrical, not mechanical. That cable connects (at least in the 03) to the 'defrost' part of the vent selector, and pops out the recirc button when you switch to the defroster..Yeah that's correct I think, the button is both elect...

Yesterday I installed an Aux2Car on my base single CD, 2006 Vibe. Installation wasn't too hard and with a little work I was able to fish the input cable straight down into the little closeable bin below the gearshift, without cutting anything and without removing any trim besides the radio bezel. So...

I have the bottom-of-the line CD system and it's not TOO bad although not great. It's loud enough, and it doesn't exactly distort. The sound feels somehow very processed. I find there is too much bass at low volumes but it helps a lot to lower the bass below the "normal" level of 0. At hig...

Thanks for the pointers.No, my current radio does not play MP3 CDs; I did try. I think even in the 06's, you need to go one step higher than the base radio in order to get that feature.That said, if anyone wants to buy a base single-CD radio from an 06 Vibe, does not play MP3s but does have the cool...

So my new 06 Vibe with the base radio (single CD, 4 speakers) doesn't have a cassette (nor option for it) and this bummed me out. Saw on eBay a radio from an 04 Matrix which looks to be the exact same thing but with a cassette as well as CD; auction was almost done so I grabbed it. I attached an ima...

I just bought a brand new 2006 base Vibe and love it. But already I'm missing a couple little features that my previous beater of a car happened to have.. the car I test drove was better equipped than the one I purchased, so some details escaped me.First, my Vibe has no map light of any kind. I don'...
