Anyway, any chance you have the stock radio? We have an '06 Vibe, bought new, and its interior has a ton of wear and tear (nothing serious, just annoying), and the radio seems to have taken the brunt of it (many of the button faces are worn off, the tuning knob is erratic, and some pixels on the LCD are dead).
My understanding is that the basic radios from all '03-'08 models are interchangeable, and that pre-2005 models have a tape player. Is this true?
I'm not looking to spend much, as I'm on a tight budget.
I'm in Northern California, a few hours north of San Francisco.
The buttons are not the victims of nail polish remover, I'm afraid. Just heavy-ish usage.
It's OK, and most of them still work fine, so I'll just take my time here to figure it out. I redid the LCD backlight, so I guess I'll just redo some of the buttons as well. It's a very simple design, actually. I like it very much.
well i think i have two, one from my old 04, and one from my 06 (XM) nither of which came with cassette. but i can double check and see which one i have sitting in my storage.
By the way, what is the condition of the front panel? Mine's all ugly, as I mentioned. A few imperfections are OK, though (our current radio is pretty bad, so almost anything would be better).
If you wouldn't mind posting a picture or two of each radio when you get a chance, that would be great as well.
