Nope - won't do it.They had to save something for the '06...You can order the '06 head units that play MP3s online. I think they run $600 or so.

Well, the MP3 player at least made it to kbb.com when looking up a 2006 Vibe...Radio, AM/FM Stereo w/CD & MP3387.20 (invoice)440.00 (MSRP)Includes Monsoon Speakers.Of course, GM still reserves the right... So they can change equipment availability.

If you mean mp3s burned onto a disc...YES!

As a regular audio CD, but not burning the MP3s as data onto a disc.

I looked up the 05 vibe on the kbb.com and options are listed for power seats, one for driver seat only and an option for both front seats. I found that the Vibe doesn't come with power seats at all, so don't rely on kbb.com for accurate information.

Nothing like a standard that isn't.

I understand that, but the stock radio in my 04 S-10 played the CD-rw, i then took it from my truck and put it in the Vibe and it wouldn't play it, it was not in mp3 format neither, odd

Many times it is the particular Media you are working with and not the speed you burn at. I used 12x CDRW media in mine, could not say the coloration to the disc offhand though.Different lasers read different media with more or less success. Just a matter of trying a few till you find one that works.Quote, originally posted by Pick »I understand that, but the stock radio in my 04 S-10 played the CD-rw, i then took it from my truck and put it in the Vibe and it wouldn't play it, it was not in mp3 format neither, odd
