I would like to install an aftermarket alarm in my 09 Vibe GT. The car currently has the factory alarm (or content theft deterrent as the manual calls it) but it has a mind of its own. There are times when the alarm will go off a bunch of times in one day and be fine for days, weeks, or months befor...

It is definitely factory. The owner's manual describes this feature as 'content theft deterrent' and states it activates an alarm if attempts are made to damage or break into the vehicle (page 2-10). The panic button does not stop the alarm going off, only unlocking it with the unlock button as per ...

Just realized it can't be the key remote because it happened to my wife at work (my key not there) and it happened when I had the car and her key wasn't there.

I have an 09 GT with the factory alarm. A few weeks ago the alarm started going off at home and I'm sure I didn't sit on the keys. A couple of days ago my wife said it has happened to her a few times too. Today we left on a weekend trip to visit our family and the alarm has been going off every few ...

Not a problem guys!

We are relocating at the end of the week so we had to weigh our car so we get paid for the weight of our stuff that we transport. I haven't seen too much about weight on here so I figured I would post for anybody who is curious. The car is all stock and totally empty of our possessions. With a full ...

I just got home from a rather long road trip and the somewhere in those 2500 miles the radio started working correctly again. This is the exact same MP3 CD as the previous pictures. The track name is now displayed, the word volume is back and it says MP3 again above the track number on the info mode.

Can anybody else provide any input on this or possibly post a pic of what their stereo looks like on the same screens I have posted?

One last one of a particularly fun and twisty road in California shot over the dash. Notice the song title is displayed, but it is not in the info mode (the tagging icon is visible.)

And the volume. Again, I think it used to show something else on this screen but can't put my finger on it....

And when the info button is pressed. I also swear it used to say MP3 or something on the lefthand side in this mode...

This is what it looks like now when a track is playing.

Yes, this is the exact same CD that only a few days ago was displaying the track name. All of the CDs I burn used to show the info, and now none that I have tried do. I took a couple of pictures and will post them in just a second...

Yeah, I tried that and still got nothing.

Thanks for the quick response. Now that you mention it, The radio station text is missing too. What do you do to get your text info back when yours goes back to default?

The front bumper on mine pops out of place like that from time to time, but usually stays in place for a while after I pop it back in.

A few days ago my Vibe's stereo stopped displaying the MP3 track name all the time and now only shows it when the Info button is pressed. I am pretty sure we didn't press anything to make it happen, it just stopped showing them. I dropped it off at the dealer and they said it was operating normally....

Looks great!

I had to down size on cars when we moved out this way from Wichita, KS. It's hard to keep track of all my user names from all the different car forums I'm on so i just use the same one most places. Here is a pic of one of my previous IROCs and one of my old 01 Z28.

Thanks for the welcome guys! I do have the front plate bracket, but Nevada requires both front and rear tags. I'm hoping to go as long as I can without putting it on, but need to have it just in case.Yep, its an 87 Fiero with a 2.5 and a 5 speed. I would really like to do a 3800 swap to it but I thi...

My name is Ed and I live in Las Vegas. I just traded in my 05 Chevy Cobalt for an 09 Vibe GT so I figured I would register on here and say hi. So far the Vibe is great! I hope to learn alot here. Here is a picture...
