It very likely will -- IF your radio is XM ready.It must have a "band" button and XM must have been an option at time of purchase. If the button says AM/FM, then no.If it's an 03, then no.

Hey Mike,I im under the impression here it adds xm to the existing oem radio. Look at the pic for the illustration... there is no xm band button on the radio buy yet the display shows xm.... what you think?

The radio shown is also a GM Class 2 radio, which I believe the Vibe does not have.. If your radio looks like the one in the pictures on the auction, it'll work fine... Otherwise, you're probably out of luck..I believe the Vibe's with XM radio have a specific radio for XM to work, that's different from the other radio packages..

Again.Your radio is not properly equipped to handle XM. If you want the factory look, you need to get ahold of an XM-ready factory radio.
