I would say it is not good for the amp or speakers.It definetly is annyoing as heck!

You need the PAC OEM adapter from Crutchfield.I had the same problem and putting it in solved it.Ask Crutchfield to give you half off the price because it is required for the radio to function properly.

I put in a Kenwood HU and I spliced a couple of RCAs to the wire harness, and at first it worked and sounded great, but when I skipped tracks, turned it on or off, or change sources, there was a very loud popping sound from the speakers.I think it is because of unbalanced to a balanced amp.Anyway, I...

Here are the plugs.

I finally got the Kenwood KDC-X692 along with the HD tuner installed to the stock monsoon system.I did have to install a PAC OEM 2 because otherwise there is too much hiss and the volume is very loud at only 6 on the HU vol.The unit sounds great and in Detroit, almost all the radio stations are in H...

Thanks for confirming dianebrat.I will post a pic once I install everything. I hope everything goes well.

Thanks for the reply ragingfish.But the Pioneer has no leads from their harness for tweeters or subwoofer and the same for the body harness. Just for the 4 door speakers.I am thinking the amp then splits the signal to the tweeters and sub.

I have an 06 with the 7 speaker/regular cd system and want to put in a Pioneer reciever.If I get the wiring hraness from Crutchfield, do I just connect up the 4 door speakers (R/L Frt, R/L Rear) from the reciever to the 4 door speakers on the harness?Does the amp under the seat then split it to the ...

My 06 with 24k miles just got its PCM replaced. CEL came on and trans shifted very hard. Turn off engine and back on the CEL still on but trans shifting normal.I have a K&N drop in, so I put back the original and the CEL went away. Put back in the K&N but after a week, problem came back. Put...

At work we have a lot of Indians (not American) and one is named Sukdeep and another Manmeet.

If you guessed Vibe, you are right!It was a Salsa with Monotone, abs, power package and auto.The game the guy played was That's Too Much!He missed winning it by not going one more higher.The list price was $19,000 and something.I thought I'd never see one on that show.

Hi,I am thinking of upgrading the HU on my 06 with sun & sound pkg (monsoon w/ amp & sub) mainly to play mp3s. I am thinking of getting it from Crutchfield mainly because they give you everything you need to install with instructions.My question is has anyone installed a HU from Crutchfield ...

I had a Karcher electric washer before and it will never wash as good as a brush. Plus I always worried about geeting too close and damaging the paint, especially on the painted plastic claddings.

Desert Sand Mica?

Hey thanks for checking this out for me. I definetly don't want you to get in trouble doing this. But it looks like the 5 sp and auto are pretty much turning the same rpms at >70mph.

Fastest I've gone is 83 mph, and engine is turning ~3100rpm on an auto. What is rpm on a manual at that speed?Any difference in top speed on a base with no mods between a 5 sp and auto?

I guess even though they are not functional, I still like the looks. Thanks for clearing this up.

Do the top or bottom spoiler actually help keep the rear window clear of spray from rain or snow? On mine w/o either spoiler the back end gets pretty dirty.

Welcome!I got a 06 back on 4/17 and experienced a "hot soak" within a week, since then it has not happened yet and the weather has been about the same. So I am hoping the PCM is a learning one and has adjusted.It's up to you if you want to wait a while before going to dealer.

Looks like we are both named Jon and we both have 06 salsa Vibes!Welcome and enjoy the site as well as the Vibe!

Ahh .. Another Salsa 06! Looks good and welcome!

I have a 06 auto that's on its 3rd tank of gas and I am getting 30-31 mpg in mixed driving. Knowing it will more than likely go up makes me even happier!

I wanted to add a "none" selection but I can't seem to edit the poll. I'll just assume those who looked and did not vote don't have any of these options

I think some of these options are for 05 and up, not sure.But I was just wondering how many people have these options that I think are few and far between. I have none of these on my 06.

Welcome!I got mine on 4/17/06 and am very happy with especially with gas getting near $3 a gallon.I too would sure like to see pics and tell us what options etc.

Welcome!Sure would be nice to see some more picures!

Thanks for all the input and thanks northvibe for the links.Just sad that my Vibe was made in March and they still did not put in the new pcm?I will probably wait and see if the problem gets any worse or better since the pcm is still learning according to a poster in the link.

Got the tint today. 20% all around the back. I think it looks great.Here in Michigan nothing is allowed on the front windows except 4" from the top edge.

Hey thanks for the warm welcomes.Right now the only thing I will do to the Vibe is to tint the back and rear passenger windows 20%. I think 20% is about what other oem deep tinted windows are tinted to.

Hi,I have had my 06 base auto vibe for 2 days now and today after a cold start and driving 6 miles in 65 deg F sunny weather, I stopped at a store for about 15 min. When I got back and tried to start it, it turned over for about 4 sec before it kind of sluggishly started. For a moment I thought it w...

That's it. Thanks for the replies and the link!!

Hi,I am wondering why 04 vibes are rated at 130hp and 06 is at 126hp?I think it is because of the new sae rules on engine hp measurement.Is this true?Thanks.

Hello fellow Vibers!Just got it today. So far loving it!Has Sun & Sound, 4 sp auto, Preferred Pkg, 17" Wheels, Anti-Lock Brakes and Monotone Appearance Pkg.Ext - Salsa, Int - Graphite
