@keithGTP03 if its not pre wired is there a chance it can be hardwired in?

yes you can, there is a how to posted here somewhere.

some cars come with the plug/pre wired, (im not 100% sure but the plug may be right behind the cluster) if not you need to cut and splice for the plug for the heads up display.

theres a how to, to make a harness and where to splice it and what to cut and install. im pretty sure its a Billboost37 how to.

if you need to cut and splice, do solder your splices and use shrink wrap on the connections, it will last years longer than any other method.

and i hear the heads up display can be found used at a fair price, some have picked them up for 50 or less. its all about shopping.

Correct. It will be right behind the gauge cluster and the other harness will be behind the cubby on the right of the steering wheel. This is behind the cluster. This goes to the display unit. If you have this, you are wired for it.

Then you're gonna need to grab the pigtails also. (the one behind the cluster and the one behind the right cubby that's attached to the Hud switch/controller)
 


it should be, being that in the write up i think he said he just matched up the wires.

and being your in a gp, the wires should be dead on. color wise. you'll learn a lot more when you are removing the one your buying, thats for sure.

the install is about the same i guess, being both are W bodys on the same frame.

cutting the dash would be the scary part to me lol
 
UPDATE......so i went to the junk yard and pulled the hud projector, switch and both pigtails.........not i have no idea how to wire it the post from billboost 37 says i only need to attach like 5 wires but i have no idea where due to having 2 plugs in the back of my cluster and i noticed while pulling the one from the junk yard that some go to one connector and some to another.....another problem im having is on the pigtail from the switch there are black, red/pink, and greyish wires that i have no idea where to connect and his post dosent say.........plz help
