As an Addendum, I finally bought the Alpine iDA-X001 since it went on sale 130 bucks off the list price. Got it installed and found out rather pleasantly that it DOES support two LED Colors-- Blue and Red. The 2" LCD also supports a red colored background wallpaper, so everything matches up VER...

Thanks Guys for the posts-- I took out my battery, cleaned terminals and contacts, and then put it all back together again and tightened everything down nice and snug and so far, no problems!Thanks!

Hi All,I've got an interesting one-- I recently replaced my battery about 3 months ago. Today, when I went tried to start my Vibe, there was a brief flash of power-- the clock turned on, the lights on the dash lit up for a SPLIT second, and then everything went dead. I tried to turn it on a second t...

Thanks for all the advice, Sublime, those rims look pretty good, I'm looking at some Motegi SP10s (I like the darker wheel look... but not black since I have an all white monochrome Vibe) and they're decently lightweight for their price. If you want Sublime, shoot me an email at bjbautis@gmail.com a...

Hi All!I've finally saved up some spare cash to buy a good set of tires and rims. I do a lot of driving (probably around 100 miles per day) so it's important to me to have a good, safe set of tires and something that looks good too. My question is what's the advantage to going up in rim size? I've b...

Thanks all for the advice-- my car insurance (Progressive) was slightly difficult at first but eventually I got a rental car for a day and they took my car to some sort of deep cleaning car wash/power washer/professional detailer. I think between that and all the rain we've been having here in LA fo...

Arrg! I live in a two story house with the garage beneath the first story. The sewer line in our house overflowed, leaking through the floor boards and onto my Vibe, coating it in, essentially, raw sewage. I've taken the Vibe to an auto car wash at the local Chevron but there's still, literally, cra...

Hi All,I'm a big time iPod fan and, now that I have my Vibe, a big time Vibe fan. I want too hook up my iPod directly to my car stereo via a new Head Unit and I've been eyeballing the Alpine IDA-X001, which has a true LCD and a scroll-wheel like knob just like the iPod's. I love it except for one th...

Hi All,I'm new and just bought a used '03 all white Frosty Vibe in good condition-- it's all stock right now but I'm looking into tinting, new intake and some new tires and rims. Thanks for all the great info you guys have here; I've been reading the forums all morning .
