Adding HUD and a DIC to your 97-03 GP

[KoldAsIce]

OK I have a 2001 GP GT and it has a DIC in it but it's just the picture of the car for the door lights etc.. I want to change it to the DIC with the MPG, oil life all that good stuff do I need to splice any wiring for this or is it just a swap? I did read the first few pages but I just want to make sure before I spend cash on it if it's not going to work! And my father had a 2003 GTP and I didn't find the HUD to be worth the money or time to drop it in a GT it's actually kind of annoying IMO. Thanks

I haven't done mine yet, but here's what I know
For your '01 you need the DIC from a '99-'03('97 & '98 are different).
If you have the coupe there are 16 wires(18 for the sedan) that have to spliced.
Most are analog harness to digital harness.
One wire has to be spliced to the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on the back of the speedometer.
And one wire spliced to the DLC(Data Link Control/Diagnostic Plug).

Were in SI do you live?
I lived on Amsterdam Ave, off Victory Blvd & Richmond Ave.

You would need to remove your dash to see if you have the connectors already there. If not then you will need to splice. It is not that difficult to do. Just follow the connections on the first page. As stated you want a DIC from a 98-02. The 97's need 97's and the 03's are slightly different and it is recommended to stick with an 03. You also want to get the GT digital DIC. If you get one from a GTP the traction light will be on. This can be easily fixed with this write up ClubGP:
