GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I just bought a peripheral interface for my vibe and I don't know how to remove the radio. I am a visiual learner so if anyone has pics that would really help. Also has anyone hooked this to their system, and do you think an amature like myself can do it.My vibe is an 04 with the m&t package.

This will get the radio out.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerofile/9413/radio.pdf

Just to let you know, I bought one of those interfaces from Best Buy that listed my '04 Vibe on the box. Bought it Friday May 19... last week.I too have the moon & tunes package, yet the installer couldn't get the interface to work. I do have a 100w amplified bazooka sub hooked to mine although that shouldn't matter in this case.Now, before we start bashing BB installers, he did tell me that this was the first time in 3 years of installing that he couldn't finish the installation. He did get the charging function to work but no sound ever came through the stereo from my ipod. I assume that is your goal with the interface.Please let me know if your Vibe worked with this interface 'cause I'll take it to a better installation place, maybe like tweeter or something.

Look through the"audio" section here.It gives you direction on how to hook it up.

i just got the thing from a friend, wheres the best 12v constant power to use?

i know there is a good how to somewhere on this forum. i do know you have to pull the middle knob off so you can get to one of the screws.

i have the radio out..didnt need to pull anything but the bezel and radio

Yep, The radio comes out in 5 minutes. Pull the bezel, unplug the accessory plugs and the HVAC vent control cable. Remove 4 screws holding in radio and you're done.

what..no thats not my question where do i put the peripheral 12v power....

is there a pinout of that 24pin plug? this is a generic ipod thing so i dont have the "vibe" pinout

yeah..well when you say blue/white then sometimes blue/yellow that makes me think you arent 100% positive hahah. sooo i wanted a pinout so i know exactly what the 12v is.

There is only one wire with the blue/white or blue/yellow combo and it's on the end of the connector,it's hard to miss.If your not confident in that,then pull out a voltmeter and test it.But that's where I hooked mine up.

Someone ask for a radio pinout???
