New Stereo... but it wont turn on when key is on ACC...

Just installed a Pioneer AVH-P3200BT in my Vibe but it's not turning on when I flip the key to ACC. When the car is on or the key is in the ON position it works fine but as soon as I flip the key from ON to ACC to turn the car off the stereo turns off as well. The stock stereo always stayed on until...

Re: (Kincaid)

Personally I would like to be lower in the future with no gap but I'm happy with the Progress springs for now as it has cut the massive gap at least in half and the ride is a lot better. The box did say 08+ Corolla/Matrix and it seems like the same part number for the 09's

Tell me about it, my mom tells me all the time how downhill the company is going. Nevertheless I got a sweet deal on the car so I'm happy.

I got the same deal as Silversn95 as my mother works for a GM supplier (Seimens). 09 base w/1SB package, 5 speed final price was just under $21000 if I recall correctly. The supplier discount is cost + 4%. Saved about $2000 I think.

Re: Vibe / Matrix '09 (GT_4)

I was behind the dash of my 09 on the weekend and everything is labeled toyota. If you open the glove box and pop it out of it's rails to open it up all the way you'll see all the wires and stuff all with toyota lables.

Re: 09 debadged (Racemedic)

no tricks really, just take your time. i used a hair dryer first to warm up the letters. fishing line to cut the letters away from the foam. (cut the letter away from the foam, not the foam from the body) once that's off just use your tumb to rub off the bulk of it. get some sort of goo/gunk/sticky ...
