Thread: Retrofitting the DIC into another car. Edumacate me alittle please!!!

Ah. Yeah Im looking for the newer style. I guess 04+??

3-button...



5-button...



Im not even sure if the 3-button has the compass/temp... Tryin to figure that all out.

So far I know I can get the display unit from ebay. The temp sender is GM 25775833, and the compass module is GM 15236913. That module is pricey...I might check the junk yards first. But if thats all I need to get the thing functioning, I can make the harness. Im sure a company like mouser would have connectors. Or maybe I can track down the actual harnesses. Ide like to keep the project under $200 if possible.

I still need the dimensions of the display though. If that isnt an acceptable size, there is no need in burning my brain out any more.

Ok...found some pictures of GP interiors. I printed them out, used the CD slot as a base, and used my scale to sort of get an idea of the size of the display. The number I came up with was something like 66.7mm by 26.7mm. Thats off a fuzzy print out and guess work. That got me in the ball park.

That display is small..which would be PERFECT! I have plenty of wiggle room if the actual display is bigger. Printed out the box and taped it where Im planning to fit it.



You can see the outline of the area that Ill be removing, and fitting the GP display. Right now, its useless thumbwheels. I just see no use for them. Just a gimmick from the 80's.

Again..just a rough estimate of the display size.

If you guys get tired of me buggin ya let me know haha....

Anyone have access to the wiring diagrams or pinouts for either the whole car or just for the DIC system? I have a line on the display, compass module and temp sensor, with plugs...so a pin out would be awesome.

EDIT: A buddy is letting me use his alldata account. Ive got all the wiring diagrams and pin outs needed I believe. It looks like the DIC doesnt use the BCM at all..? Thats awesome if thats the case. Still looking into it though. So now all I need to do is start buying parts and hooking things up. See what comes out the other end.

If anyone needs the diagrams, Im going to save them and try to put them into one big PDF file...since I cant seem to locate them online. Might help someone else out.
