Vibe #2 - how to find out installed options?

About 2 months after buying an '03 Base for himself but deciding it was too small and pawning it off on me (I'm now glad) -- my husband decided it WAS the car for him, and overpaid (willingly, as a means to unloading our minivan that was not selling) on a 2005 Base with leather and sunroof - so we're now a two-Vibe household.
Does anyone know if it's possible to determine all of the factory-installed options in our 2nd Vibe (the dealer is unhelpful) by way of the VIN? Is there a VIN decoder out there that will show options?
Thanks

There are a couple of threads here that might help, from the VIN and from the cryptic "RPO" codes on the sticker on the inside fo the glove compartment. They may not have been updated adequately to reflect all the various options on 2005s but they might be a good start
VIN ->

RPO ->

A belated thank you for the info. And, if I remember correctly how to do this, a belated photo of the 2 vibes:
