Guest Anonymous Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Does anyone know if it is possible to wire the DIC with the color screen and compas from an 88-93 GP into a 94-96? Has it been done? It would look pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Didn't work the best. I didn't put a whole lot of effort and research into it, but most of the functions didn't work. The compass and average speed worked, nothing else did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 DIC Installation You'll Need: Driver Information Center DIC Harness Various Tools Step One Gain Access to your C200. This is the firewall wiring connector for most things inside the vehicle. Note that 94+'s are slightly different regarding gaining access to the C200, but everything else is essentially the same. Step Two Using a Torx bit, unscrew the brass bolt in the middle of the C200. Pull it toward you. This may take some force, and the locks and belt pretentioners (coupes only) may cycle. Once it's pulled apart, Feed the C200 end of the harness into the clip on the far side of the C200 block (Slot A, I believe). Step Three Put the C200 back together and turn the key to "Run". The DIC should come on, and for a second all the icons should light up. "CK. FUEL" will be displayed for a short while, then the DIC will resume normal operation.

supreme_style21 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 This is going in a '94-'96 GP.. will those directions for the pre94 work the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Yes. The C200 portion for the DIC didn't change. That's theoretically anyway. I've heard of people using the 88-93 DIC harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 I still have the DIC from my GP, except I couldn't figure out how the fuck to get the harness out :oops: I didn't know I could take the C200 out like that and just unsnap it... I had wires going everywhere from my DIC.. it looked horrible. Looks like I'm going to the junkyard again soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Sounds simple, I hope... that c200 thing is like under the glovebox, correct? I put in a HUD, so how does this compare? Also, I will need to put this somewhere in the dash... Im thinking below the AC controls... I guess its just kinda going to have to sit there since there was no cubby?

Gearhead43 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Read up here: http://pages.prodigy.net/gearhead43/DavesGP/modifications.html If the C200 on the 94-96 is the same.. Then those directions with the 88-93 Harness will work for you. The how to's tell you how to remove AND install the DIC wiring harness. .I also have a section on the HUD... But I think the HUD for 94-96 is quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 does anyone have idea if the wiring would be similar in the 95-97 cuttys??? I might be getting a console with a DIC from a TGP if it will physically fit, then I would have to worry about the wiring... :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 If the same wires go to my current DIC harness which remains unused, could I not pull that harness around to by the shifter and just splice the wires into the older DIC harness? It would be much simpler than digging around for that damn C200 thing... I still have yet to solve the question on how exactly I plan to fit this into the dash... Its probably going to look like junk Any advice?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 I just found my C200 and did some investigation. Its appears that in 94-96 GP's, the HUD and DIC wires must splice together somewhere becuase thier wire bundle goes into ONE connection, so there arent two separate connections for HUD and DIC, which is rather upsetting news. Is this in inaccurate observation? should the HUD be elsewhere? Any ideas as to fitting it into the console? Im desparate for help, the entire project is falling apart at the seems :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead43 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 No Ross, I would use the entire 88-93 DIC harness...You would NOT have to cut ANY wires at all...You plug it into the C200 port, route the harness as shown on the Harness diagram on my site and then plug in the connectorinto the DIC.. No Cutting wires... FYI, the 94-96 GP use a serial data bus to the 94-96 DIC.. So it would not work right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 ahhhh, Thanks Dave! I breathe a sigh of releif. The one guy from before spliced into his 94-96 wires, I beleive, so that may explain why only teh compass and the avg. speed worked correctly. Moreover, I would assume that those wires plugged into that far right spot are just the prewiring for my non-existant DIC, so I could just pull them out and let them be, and plug the 88-93 wires in... Tomorrow I will try and take a picture of my c200 for comparison... Should the 94-96 prewired DIC wires be in the 88-93's spot on the c200?
