GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

After a couple months of researching and waiting for the dealer to locate me one, we picked up our Vibe tonight. Gave them the 2000 Jeep Cherokee. Our Vibe is Abyss monotone, AWD, preferred package, sunroof and fog lights. The first thing I did was reprogram the locks so they don't lock or unlock automatically. I hate that crap. So, goodbye 16 mpg Jeep! Hello high 20's!

Congrats, now go take some pics!

I would take some pics, but of course it's raining here now. Normally there would be snow on the ground, but it's been 40 degrees here this week. Maybe I'll wash it Saturday and take some pics then.

we don't care if its raining get out there and get some!congrats on the new car.

all Vibes come with fog lights. It's the Matrix that make foggies an option. Happy motoring...

congratulations.tomorrow marks three years for my Vibe, and it is still fun to drive

Finally, after 2 months of talking about it. Geez! Don't worry that grin will come off in a few years. Congrats! Time to start modding.

Andy,,Congrats !!I just got mine a short time ago also,, do you have the instructions to reprogram the locks ?? I would really appreciate it,,,ThanksBrian'06 AWD Moostone

The instructions are in your owners manual.

I've went through it now two mores times and I can't find a thing about auto locking - any instruction would be appreciated,, Thanks Brian

Congrats! Ditched my Jeep Cherokee 4.0L for the Vibe too! No regrets!!

It's on Page 2-9 of my 2005 Manual. It's under Doors & Locks sub-section of the Features & Controls section.

My '06 Canadian Manual -Power Door Locks go from 2-6 to 2-9 and explain all functions and what not but do not mention anything about the auto lock function (no where in the Manual for that matter),, mine locks after starting and removing selector from Park, and Unlock after in Park and key removed,, Thanks a bunch Blue if you would be so kind,,

Here is a copy of my programing page in MS Word format.

Thanks,,, Wow my Manual is missing a few things !!

Well, no pics for now. THe wife has the car at work. It's hers since I have a work van. But we'll mainly drive the Vibe unless we're going two different places.As far as mods, it will stay pretty much stock. I do need to get the rear windows tinted, though. I've got the Firebird for modifying. I guess the '06 owners manuals don't have that lock reprogramming section. I searched on the site for it. Thanks for the well-wishes!

Yesterday was my 2 year mark. I'm now into year 3 with my Vibe.

congrats on the new ride!

going on 6 months now after my satty got rearended. best impulse buy ever!

We had a color insert with the manual and it was in the manual. I am surprised...happy motoring.
