Step right up...Guess the mod and win a prize!

Post by BlueCrush »

We have a winner!This weekend I will be doing a first of its kind mod for my Vibe that no one else has done. If you can guess what it is you will win a Back-Up Sensor system for your Vibe:It has a sound notifier only not a visual notifier like in the picture on the box. As you get closer to an object the sound chimes as a quicker pace. It includes 4 sensors, a hole cutter, wiring w/module and instructions.I will give hints over the weekend!

I won it along with a few other items on an eBay auction and don't really need it. Now watch, after I said that I will probably back into a pole or something.

Hint #1: I bought it on eBay, but it was not listed specifically for the Vibe.This should help. (Heh, Heh)

I found out his ebay userid and did a search on Items By Bidder, completed as winner only. Alas, that only goes back 30 days, and the amplifier auction was before that.

Ha, Ha! No, Joatmon already guessed it! After, getting the correct info from GMJAP for the power supply wires I found out I have to fabricate a mounting bracket for the ignition amplifier box since I have no where else to place it. I created a template and now just need to find some sheet metal to create the mounting bracket. I will hopefully find something when I go looking tomorrow. I will take pics and do a write up when I am done.
