The head unit is a Double Din 2003 Vibe in dash 6 disc changer . It in no way shape or form fit . Had to mod the dash , and totally re-make the radio/hvac bezel .
Yes the radio controls worked
Finally , yes it did all work as should

Is that steering wheel also out of a Vibe?

The center hole is different though , its a smaller metric splined hole . The upper steering shaft from the bonnevile , thankfully swapped right over to the F-body column .
Did you buy the wheel and upper shaft from a dealer? What did you do about the air bag? I found a wheel on ebay, but its got no cover or air bag; $100 bucks
Is the fbody and bonneville air bag the same? I would assume its not...

I'm with them! ^^ I made a post a while back about wanting to put the new Vibe steering wheel in to the car. something sportier lookin not this granny *** spaghetti wheel we got now. But i have NO idea how to go about doing it. I even asked the guys at my local pontiac dealership and they seemed as clueless as I was. lol Maybe even worse.

Cars that had this wheel in ebony , and also had leather with radio controls .
2000-2005 Bonneville
03-newer Azteks
03-newer Montana vans
If you have a 99 or older TA the 2001-2003 Grand prix's had the same wheel in graphite
For the airbag , I got a airbag on ebay out of a 04 Aztek for $50 . The inflator is removeable . IT just unbolts , unlike ours that are riveted on . No chance of the bag ever going off , plus all the weight of the bag is in the inflator . This wheel and bag are alot lighter than stock .
To get it cheaper look for the less popular cars , cuz your gonna pay more for the exact same wheel , if its got Bonneville SSEi on it over say a Montana or Aztek .

I got a good deal on a complete steering column from a 2004 grand prix which had the same shaft as well . Basically any 2002 or newer GM mid and full size car is gonna have this same upper shaft .
Any clue if that or a similar wheel is compatible? I dont really know much, I just know I dont like the wheel I got now. lol

I'll have a new custom feature to post pics for in the next few weeks, I'm currently working on a fiberglassed headliner that will have my headunit's faceplate molded into it, and the whole thing will be covered in black vinyl.

My headunit is in my glovebox, with a 9 foot extension cable for my faceplate, which currently is mounted in my sunvisor, but I'm fiberglassing my headliner as we speak, and will be molding the faceplate into my headliner shortly.
Carbon fiber center console (gotta redo the lid, tho, cracked it already)
Door panels:
Gauges:
Flamed dash to go with gauges:
And one of my other favorites, 5 LEDs down the center of my headliner (this is prior to me fiberglassing it) which light up when the door opens or when interior lights are on, creates an awesome effect at night:
Here's a cool night pic that shows the LEDs, and the faceplate in my sunvisor.
