Excellent mod.

I found this thread yesterday, immediately called a dealer which didn't have it in stock.

I then called another one and they had one left.

Installed in 3 minutes and couldn't have asked for a simpler mod.

 

Thanks!

I ordered the replacement parts for the "premium" dash. Will post pics and procedures when it comes in and I get around to it.

dead thread?

 

well.. I'm here to res. it.

 

how to install this on your premium dash truck that does not have a DIC..

 

first, dash w/o dic

 

take it off, this is best accomplished by prying with a flathead screwdriver (smaller one) with electrical tape wrapped around the blade so you don't scratch anything, or a nylon part removal tool if you are so lucky to have one.

 

^ Part's off, it's held in with 1 clip on the left where the dic goes, nothing where the vents are, then 7 clips (3 sets of 2 then 1 on the farthest end) on the long flat part.

 

note the wire harness.. how dare they.. you were a $16 part from having this functionality..

 

 

Now, unhook the wire harness, set this piece aside, and grab your assembled parts you ordered..

 

hook it up and reverse.

 

and BEHOLD!

 

 

 

The part number you need fort this is 15947841 (switches) and 25807745 for the bezel in silver. Woodgrain? can't help you.

 

Price was about $100. Install time was literally 4 or 5 minutes.

I just ordered one of the DIC from chevy parts to install on dads truck and Ive gotta say its one of the best and cheapest mods ever. I think Gm should make these standard on all trucks.

That's how the options game is played. The interior package is $500 and if you want a DIC then you have to buy the mirror, climate controls, etc. I personally have no use for the auto climate control (had it on our audi, hated it). The seats are nice but not necessary. Then they get to bring in a few vehicles that have a DIC and you pay a premium for those over the ones that don't have a DIC. I wanted a factory DIC but couldn't getone in the color or other options i required so i'll have my DIC added after the fact

Ok since there is over 41 pages to look through and I went through 10 and gave up, one question:

 

Anyone done this on a 2007 GMC 1500 W/T?

Newer body-style.

 

Or knows if I should be able to do this upgrade on this model?

 

I'm gonna take a look for this connector tomorow or the next day.

 

 

After this it will be on to the fog lights!

 

 

Sorry in advance if it offends any of you that I didn't take the time to click through 41 pages.

If you read the first 10 pages then you should know that if the connector is there then it will work. I'm pretty sure it should be there . If no connector then this mod is a no go for you

hahaha thanks for the fast reply, Im scrolling through some more. Like I said I'll be taking a look tomorow.

Im sure the neighbours would concerned if I was taking apart my dash in the driveway at 12:30am

AWESOME connector was there, plugged into a blank spot on the panel itself. Went to the dealer they will have a DIC panel there tomorow.

I don't have to actually pick it up if I find something cheaper.

 

$122 here in British Columbia at the dealer, is that a rip, for people who've done this in Canada?

Parts guy claimed price went up used to be $100 or something showed me the book.

 

 

BTW Thanks daddy, you're #1 post proved the most useful. Also the one picture of the other side of the panel just so I knew how the panel was attached!

 

Now on to the fog lights!

Friday I picked up a Classic 2007 2500 HD.

I have been patiently waiting 'till I found the right one.

This has the digital display, but no controls in the steering wheel.

Looks like this is where they would be.

Does anyone one know is the wiring for the DIC in the column?

What else would be involved, should I try this mod w/ a used wheel?

P.S. I love the truck. It replaces a ford f150 4x2.

My 2010 work truck won't display the temperature like the one in the recent post. Too bad, I kind of miss it when it's going to 106 today.
