Thread: Will a digital heater control work in a car without the digital?

I was scaveneging the junkyard yesterday and I saw a grand prix it was a 98 just like mine and had the digital heater controls, and the digital info ceter as well, are those things plug and play? will they work in a car that did not have the digital? if they wont what do you need for them to work? thanks! is there a write up about this? I tryed searching but it brought up nothing?? thanks!

What year is your car?

i asked the same question like 4 months ago cause i wanted to do the same thing and got a few responses that all said you cant. unless you do a lot of custom wiring.

car is a 1998

I just did the dic and there is some wire splicing but its easy and works great! I also added a hud to my car which was a little more challenging yet worth every curse word i said in the process!

I don't know how the wiring is for the non- auto climate controll, But I have installed some of these parts in an 88 fiero with a/c.

radio - easy
hud a little more difficult - linked to radio
automatic climate controll - much more difficult, not completely finished
- I made it single not dual climate, Fiero activates motors, no vacumme for climate control in the fiero.

My question about the climate contr just got answered , but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind posting what GTP accessories you've installed into non GTPs. I have a 97 GT, and would like to use the digital driver info and HUD.
Thanx

i have installed a DIC and HUD. make sure you get a DIC from a 97 as it has a TCS button to the right. any other DIC won't work correctly.
