GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I have seen in posts where others have said the Vibe has a DIN and a half stereo size, and others say Double DIN. Could someone please verify what it really is. DIN and a half or Double DIN. Thanks.

I'd say it's a 1 1/2 din. I've seen posts that say a double will fit in there but I personally don't think it would w/o cuting out more of the bezel around the radio, and I have never seen pics of anyone with a double installed.I installed a single with a Metra install kit.Here's a link to a new head unit install with some pics. (it also has some pics of the old head unit.) http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=769Later,Carl

Here is a pic I swipped from matrixvibe.net. It is a double DIN (or rather 2 DINs together). The Metra dash kit has double DIN pieces and instructions with it also!! I do think they had to trim the upper corners a bit due to their rounded nature!

I think I might go with a DIN and a half, Im still not sure. Anyone have any recommedations on DIN and a half or Double DIN stereos?

If you want a radio that matches the Metalic finish of the dash trim and matches the amber color on the gauges you want to check out the Sony CDX810. I have one in my Vibe. It is awesome. The display has 7 different color settings and one of them is soooooo close to the Amber in the gauges it looks as if GM helped them with the color mathing. The radio is $199. It has 3 preamp outputs, and is XM ready. Not a bad deal. Here is the link to the radio pic:http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-Oa ... &display=L Here is the link to some of the different color screens avail. : http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-9G ... &display=L

also try the kenwood kdc-x769 or the kenwood kdc-722. they also match well, a little bit more spending, but it has a fold down face, its cool. ill post some pics of my 769 here in a few days.

Here is a pic of the radio I installed in my Vibe. I borrowed the pic from a member of MatrxVibe.net. I don't have a digital camera.
