I have a '05 vibe, my radio if fine, the EQ stays where I set it. I
remember reading that you can set different EQ's to different stations,
and a different one still to the CD player.

I was under the impression that the Vibes had a different radio that the
Matrix, The Matrix didn't have a clock built into the radio as Toyota
always put the clock somewhere else.

If it isn't the same, then it is similar.

I never saw a Vibe radio, but I drove plenty of Matrixes (uh, Matrices?)
and you can spot the Delco radio a mile away.

If you get the Matrix from Toyota, you can probably upgrade to a better
radio from the dealer. I would go aftermarket; better unit for 1/3 the
price.
