Thread: what model of gp's have the hud wires

Yeah thats what im thinking my car was built to order, not one that was sitting on the lot already because im pretty sure that the cd player w/ equalizer, leather int, sunroof, and hud were all part of an option package and my car only has 2 of those

Other than that, to answer Soviets question, most all 97-98 had the DIC-HUD wiring, except for rare occurances.

Some 99's have the wiring, others dont. Its hit or miss.

2000+ do NOT have HUD or DIC wires in the dash. No matter what trim, option, or color GP it is, if it is a 00+ it will not have the wires. No need to make a detailed list.

And as mentioned earlier, DIC's are compatible as follows:

97's compatible with 97's only
98-02 are interchangeable
03's stay with 03's (because of the optional traction control, and the general differences of the 03 PCM.)

In order to maintain validity of polling owners to create a list.... my 2003 GTP did not have a HUD installed, but did come with the wires/plugs, which is contrary to Super Sport's post....

Bottom line, it only takes a few minutes to check, just look in your car to see if you have the wires if you are interested in installing the HUD.

Ok then create a list. That is the first time I have heard of anything newer than a 2000 having wires in the dash. I dont know what the hell GM's concept is then.

I will change my theory to just check your car for the wires before ordering HUD/DIC to install.

Sorry to misinform.

This is looking more and more true.

You can install both without the wiring, but youll be doing a lot of splicing. I installed my DIC without plugs.

But to check, just remove the bezel that goes around your radio and gauges, and look for a spare plug behind the DIC, and check behind the gauge cluster and in the opening where the HUD dimmer switch would go and there should be a empty switch laying there.
