http://crutchfield.custhelp.co.../7153This might be what you're looking for, but you might save yourself some time if you bought a wiring harness for it, then you could just solder (or tape, whatever's your thing) it to the head unit's wiring, and plug it into the Vibe's wiring harness directly.Edit: 2003 Pontiac Vibe Car Radio Wiring GuideCar Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Blue/WhiteCar Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: GrayCar Radio Ground Wire: BrownCar Radio Illumination Wire: GreenCar Stereo Dimmer Wire: White/BlackCar Stereo Antenna Trigger Wire: BlackCar Stereo Amp Trigger Wire: BlackCar Stereo Amplifier Location: Under the front passenger seat.Car Audio Front Speakers Size: N/ACar Audio Front Speakers Location: N/ALeft Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): PinkLeft Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): VioletRight Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Light GreenRight Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): BlueCar Audio Rear Speakers Size: N/ACar Audio Rear Speakers Location: N/ALeft Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): BlackLeft Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): YellowRight Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): RedRight Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): WhiteSource: http://www.modifiedlife.com/20...guide/Hope it helps!

alot of car's dont use the dimmer wires on aftermarket stereo's and also the remote output is for aftermarket amplifiers, it turns them on/off when the stereo, this way they dont drain the battery down when your cars off.normally the amp trigger wire is blue on aftermarket radio's if yours is black thats something totally new to me, now if your car has the moon/tunes and has an amp in it, then maybe your amp trigger wire (black) needs to be connected to the remote wire (blue) on the headunit, but i may be overthinking this.anyway, if you cut the harness in the dash of your vibe, im going to tell you straight out, YOUR A MORON, anyone who cuts the factory plug in the dash should be shot, for $10-15 you can buy a harness that pluts right in and its color coded to plug everything in, about a 10 minute install once you have the factory wiring plug adapter.*IF* your using the wiring adapter, then just hook up the wires you got, tape up the ones you dont need/use and try it out.matthew
