Still available, and since PM here doesn't really work shoot me an email at vibechick @qwack.org and I'll get back to you ASAP, I'd love to keep this in the vibe/matrix family and am somewhat negotiable on price

All, I've traded in my 2006 AWD Vibe for a new car and since the new car has NAV in it I had the Pioneer AVIC F700 that was wired and configured for the Vibe out, the unit is a 5.8" touch screen with NAV, BT, and full IPOD integration, here's the product pages http://www.crutchfield.com/S-3.......

Note my Vibe has a rotary knob for this which is what it should be. But what about all the other buttons?it's why I SPECIFICALLY got a new HU that has a knob for v...

Thanks Joatmon, It's the kind of garage I don't like going to, so I can see them charging $25 for fixing the fuse they blew when they had a connector issue. They all but said their computer was the start of the issue and wanted me to come back next week, had it been my car that was a problem, they w...

Guys, I need to see if I just got scammed on a vehicle inspection, it's only $25, but it's the principle.I just went for my yearly to a new inspection station, and they gave me some line about not being able to connect to the on-board diagnostics to read emissions, at first in trying to understand t...

Congrats! It's really cool that Pontiac still does this, I was mentioned in 2007 for the great "what can a vibe haul" thread.

dianebrat

It's a scam, it's the same people that call about lowering the interest rates on your credit cards..These groups have also come under a lot of fire for violating the do not call laws, and when the Feds do occasionally find them, they go after them.You'll notice they're always the same, and you have ...

Quote, originally posted by Vibetrix Â»Thanks! I'd tried searching for line output converter and loc, but not line converter. I see that the recommended model is the Scosche FAI-3A, which I'll order immediately.It's about $20 at Walmart if that helps. Not that I normally recommend Wally world for st...

Quote, originally posted by Digger Â»Thanks... I did put a bid in on one. The instructions should help out a ton Do you think a dealer key is better than a cut key?FWIW I prefer a dealer or better locksmith punched key over a ground/cut key, less chance to have funny wear over time.

dianebrat

It can haul a pinball machine, after that it was AWD, decent MPG, good-looking

I had a similar looking leak in a previous car about 10 years ago, have a sunroof? that was the root cause of mine, blocked sunroof drainage passages.

Quote, originally posted by barthalamu Â»OK, problem solved...So I took the car back to the dealer I purchased it from and they were much more helpful.

Quote, originally posted by ColonelPanic Â»+1, rummaging around for crap after you get pulled over is a good way to make a cop think you're pulling a gun on them. Yup, that's why when I get asked for license and registration, I let them know I have to get my license out of my handbag, and that I'll ...

In general design engineers build for the road to be safe at about 10-15 MPH over, then set the limit appropriate in the area. As long as you're not in a speed trap, and you don't mouth off to the officer, you can usually get a warning for about 10 over in a residential area in my experience. If the...

Quote, originally posted by lightsup Â»If your HU has preamp outputs, couldn't you wire those directly to the monsoon amp, without having to use the Scosche converter?

I would think long and hard as to if the slight increase in sure footedness with AWD was worth giving up both the peppiness of the stick, and the lower mileage. I suspect the 5 speed auto is peppier then the 4 speed.While the official MPG ratings are not that different, your driving style/route may ...

woo hooo.. I got my baby back!and it looks better then before it was hit, the red on the nose and bumper is bright, shiny and looks just like the rest of the car, not all faded.Now I just have to wait the required time (and I don't know what that is BTW) and get it washed and waxed to help protect it.

Quote, originally posted by NibCrom Â»I'm pretty sure the warranty is up once the car hits 36,000 miles, regardless of how many it had when you bought it. If a car had 4,500 miles on it, I'm not sure how that could possibly be considered new.I had a dealer demo once, and it was considered new with a...

Similar story that worked out well.I was looking in January 2007 for an AWD '06 vibe, and it took some time, but they were around, even though the 2007's had been out for quite some time, and I'm glad I got it, it was perfect except for faded front and rear bumper covers they buffed out, and it had ...

thanks for the well wishes guys!I'm pretty sure I'm fine, and also sure the vibe will just get a new clip on the front and rear with a bit of frame repairs, after all, I'm still driving it. Funny thing is that I was just noticing I really needed the front and rear bumper panels buffed out because th...

*sniff* my poor 2006 AWD was slammed into yesterday, and at the moment it's still drivable, and I'm ok, but this is a testament to how well built it is.I was sitting in traffic, and a BMW 5-series wasn't even noticing the road and slammed into me at about 30 MPH shoving me 10' into the Ford Explorer...

I lost my awesome Pontiac dealer that I bought my Vibe from in mid-07, and went to my backup dealer a few times (love them too!) and they closed this spring.So the only even remotely close Pontiac dealer left is the scummy one.. Diane

Quote, originally posted by Jon6873 Â»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.You're correctDiane

My 06 Lava looks great on the sheet metal, but I've never seen the plastic with a paint that loses its luster as fast as my vibe, not more then a few months and it needs to be rubbed out and buffed for the bumpers to get shiny again.Diane

Quote, originally posted by VivaVibe Â»An extended warranty on a Vibe is likely a waste of money. It is very reliable and trouble free.
