I had this problem with my radio too. well may not be the same problem, but I'll share my experience. I actually have a post out on this forum about it.I had created a few MP3 Cd's, some songs would show the info others would only display a number or 3 strange characters. Someone on the forum mentio...

Hi!I just replaced the speakers in my 09 a few months ago, also deadened the doors a bit. I used CDL tiles from http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ They worked GREAT to deaden the doors and also on some of the flat body panels i could reach (deadened the trunk area too). It doesn't take that many ...

Very Nice!I still want to put in fog lights in mine, just haven't had the time to research aftermarkets.Is that the OEM fog light insert?Do you have a wiring diagram for this setup?How did you mount the aftermarket fog lights (or are those OEM)?

sail panel! forgot what it was called I'll take a look when i take my door apart (i just got some cheap Polk bd651's to replace the stock speakers)Next year when it warms up a bit I plan on going junkyard hopping to see if i can find any vibes or martixes. I have a few parts i want to find (fog ligh...

Thanks for the replyYeah I've thought about doing that too, but the sound is just not the same with tweeters there as opposed to pointing up at the glass and bouncing straight at you (I know, I very picky and technically tweeters pointing in do fill in the sound field.), Although i may still end up ...

I'm not sure, I have a Vibe, the only time i saw the JBL system in a Matrix was at the dealership. So it's kinda what I'm trying to figure out. From what I saw the speakers are in the dash not on. they are in the corners very close to the windows. Looks like they may be 2"-3" full range (l...

I'd like to add in dash speakers into my 2009 vibe. I know that the 09 Matrix with the JBL system has 2 speakers in the dash and it adds a good deal of sound depth. (i have dash speakers in my old Neon and going from that to the Vibe I notice a huge "dead" area from above dash area.)Wonder...

Thanks KaneRobot!i tried removing the id3v2+ tags, that worked perfectly. Kinda a pain that they would put out a radio in this day and age that doesn't support the newer standards.. oh well, works now, thanks again!

I have a 09 stock mp3 stereo in my 1.8, when i play an mp3 cd the id3 tags (song names) do not display properly, i get some strange 3 charecter code for each song. it looks something like y(with 2 dots over the y), pb(put both together and that's the character) and then a letter.. the mp3's themselv...

Has anyone performed this retrofit on the 1.8l 09 yet? the harness is all there, the fuses are already in place, but i don't see a relay specifically for fog lights or anywhere on the diagram where it should go...so what parts are actually required? also are the martix stalks the same as the vibes?(...
