Adding An Information Center?

[Jameson]

I have a 2007 NBS CC Silverado LT, my buddy has an 08 Sierra Denali and it has the information center to the right of the steering wheel to show all the fuel, tire stuff etc. I saw the info center stuff for sale at gm's website. I was wondering if the dealer is able to add this to my truck?

[-Devil-]

if you want to pay them sure they can add it .. or just buy it yourself ... the wiring is already there to plug it into

You can do it yourself. I put mine in this past week. Just snap off the dash cover. You get a new cover with the switch in it. The plug is pluged into a dummy plug on the back of the old one. Put in new cover and switch and plug in. Its easy.

that sounds really easy, will this give me my "Miles till Empty", "Tire Pressure", "Gallons of gas", etc etc? Where would you recommend I buy this?

i get parts for less then Gm parts direct prices becuase I have a buisness account at my dealer. I usually get parts at my dealer, or you can get them on ebay or from gm parts direct.

I think it depends on options you already have on the truck. Mine shows miles to empty, gas used, tire pressure, Average miles per gallon (which hurt my feelings) LOL. Some show instant MPG. I have a friend that his shows that. But he has the option that cuts cylinders out while driving???

So when I order this from GM parts direct, will it have evrything needed for installation? Such ase harness, switch, etc etc?

[hmsbusch5]

Here is a decent place to order it. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?s...number=19159438 I have ordered from them before. Its cheaper than going to the dealer and paying retail. I paid about $75.00 but we get employee pricing through work.

Everything you need is in the box. The wiring is already in the truck.

Also in your truck it will be to the left of the steering wheel.

yeah i just saw that. Now I have a new project, the Driver Info Center, and the Contrlols on the Steering wheel. I should have just bought a more equipped truck. LOL. Im wondering if I can add the steering wheel controls too. Ill probably have to buy a new Wheel but I wonder whats involved.

[hmsbusch5]

Not sure about that. I would like to have that myself. Its not listed in the accessories. But I would like to know that myself. This should be the link to whats available for your truck. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/accessories/frameset3.cfm
