    If you're talking about average and instant mpgs and stuff, yes it will work. And your gas gauge will still work too. But the mileage will be off unless you get it reprogrammed at the dealer. And the dealer will say they can't >.>

    yes yes it will. But you need to get a temp sensor, and compass module if you want those to work. And depending on the year of DIC maybe tpms sensors

    You shouldn't need a temp sensor. My 04 already had one installed.

    They got it covered, if you need one its cost like 5 bucks and to install it you need to remove the passenger headlight. It will be located behind the front clip. Also the compass module its located on the rear deck.

    Yes, a dealer or mechanic with a tech 2 device has to program the mileage on the dic to match the mileage on your bcm.

    I'm sure they did a bunch of crazy stuff to the 08s to get rid of option parts they didn't want to have left over in the factories.
