2003 instrument cluster and radio

[alk21633]

I like the guages display in my 2003 Vibe untile I am in bright light, then I can hardly read any displays. Has anyone come up with a remedy. Second question, I have a moon and tunes single disc radio. Is there available a radio that will play audio cassets as well or a mod to play them. I have a ton of old cassettes.

you would have to check aftermarket sources for a radio with a tape deck as the Vibe does not come with one and GM as far as I know doesn't make one that will fit... ie: alero, sunfires, grand ams and cavaliers used to have them a couple years ago. Now its all about cd and ipod and what not.As for your dash issue... I am unaware of any solution other then to possibly get some tint on the windows to keep the interior darker when its bright outside. Otherwise a cluster swap with an 04 is the only remaining option and that isn't simple or cheap.

There is one on Ebay now:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

However, since they stopped putting them in Matrixes, they might be less common. Never did see confirmataion that tnparstguy actually sold his, http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=23383
