Fit perfectly, though the wires on the 10 wire plug where short, causing the end wire to pull out. Lucky I am a technicall person and was able to replace the one wire with one from the old board....
Reply by ReplacementRadios on 8/3/16: We never like to hear of a problem. Even an installation problem on the back end. Please note: these boards are removed from brand new GM radios which we part out, so the plug harnesses ARE long enough to reach the sockets. The problem the customer mentioned only occurs when either the harness is routed incorrectly, the harness is partially stuck behind the face, or the face has not been snapped on completely prior to trying to insert the plug in the socket. Pulling on a harness to stretch it to the plug is not required. If you are trying to insert a plug in your socket and find it does not reach, you should check the three things above. The explanation lies there and, once you correct the problem, it will plug in just fine.

This was a very easy install (once I was able to remove the radio!). The Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix is not the easiest car to remove fuses from. The interior fuse box is located tucked up under the lower driver's side dash, and if you're not under 5'5" or so, it's a nightmare to access. I had to remove the driver's seat and stretch out on my back to get underneath. The fuse removal is part of the airbag disabling procedure that the Haynes service manual says to do before working anywhere near the airbags. I seriously recommend purchasing the Haynes Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe manual as it gives step-by-step instructions (and photos) how to safely remove dash bezels and the radio. I did follow the instructions that came with the display board and let the radio sit for an hour before opening the case to remove the old display board. One hint for those of you wishing to repair your own radio - get a set of micro socket wrenches or nut drivers, because the screws that hold the display board to the radio face are about 1mm (or smaller) hex head screws. I did alright using a set of 90 degree angled needle nose pliers by clamping the little screw head in the outer bend of the pliers. After that, I reversed the procedures to put the radio back together and re-installing it in the dash. All-in-all, it took me about 4 hours start to finish, and would have been less if I didn't remove the driver's seat for easy access to the fuse box (not one of Toyota's better ideas). After all that work, I have a radio display that works!!!
