KnightOwl Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I've noticed a few DIC units for sale online in two different configurations. I assume one was for the GTP and the other for GT and lower models. Is this a plug-n-play swap? I wouldnt mind adding the extra features to my GT if its just a matter of plugging it in the dash but not interested in a lot of re-wiring.

Imp558 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Even wiring it's not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yours had the plug for the hud, you'll see a plug tapped up with foam and junk right behind your current dic. Make sure to get the gtp if you have that. One is marked trac off(gt) and gtp is tcs. Lights are reversed, so it'll illuminate if it's on if you get the wrong one. other than that, plug it in! Oh, and 97 is different because of tpms, and I think in 2000 they removed performance shift (though the bulb spot and wiring is still there). I don't mind grabbing one next weekend! I totally owe you for the scoops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just check inventory of the local salvage yard for here (they have 3 locations) and while they have about 10 GPs total in the field, none are GTP (they note supercharged engines) so if you can run across one that would be great. I know my wife's Aztek has a nice DIC which includes outdoor temp...does the GTP version have that? wstefan20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For outside temp, I installed the digital hvac, but that's a LOT of wiring... best thing is a on - star mirror and install sensor outside. That'll show temp and direction! Lol I'll keep my eyes out!

Imp558 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Oh yeah, I had a non-OnStar mirror that did auto dim, compass, and temp. I got it confused and gave it away. KnightOwl and wstefan20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Ooops....we all have those days! I think about a year after I sold my 2001 GP, pretty sure I had a L26 UIM that got tossed during a garage clean-out. DOH!!!
