Can you swap the basic DIC on a 97 grand Prix gt for the one that gives gas mileage etc? that's on the 98? If yes how easy is it to do?

Thanks
 




ok so you do have a HUD display on your car that shows your speed etc on your windshield???? If you do , you should already have the DDIC (digital driver info center) but it seems the one you have is the analog which doesn't show anything except warning lights. Is this right?
 


my 97 had the plug for the digital dic already there its burryed back in the dash but u can put a 97 dic out of a gtp and put it in a 97 gt took me 20 secs
 
Ok make sure you get a 97 only DIC. You'll need it because of the check tire pressure light... It should look like mine.

This is the old analog one when I first got the car....

My 97 didn't have the HUD on the windshield so there wasn't a plug for me to just plug my dic into. I had to wire it up because my car started its life out as a SE ..... its now a GT. Since your 97 is a GT it may already have the plug inside the dash wrapped up with the other wire harness ,but just in case it doesn't make sure when you purchase the 97 DIC you get it with the harness/pig tail.... I now own a fully loaded 01 GTP so I didn't have to worry about adding stuff to it :P
 
Thanks so much I really appreciate this especially the pics of what to get I sent a few of these in the junk yards by me and my next trip out there I plan on grabbing one. I got hit by a deer so this started a slow but steady rebuild and some add ons. I just needed a hood and fender, but decided to get the gtx hood and from there is just snowballed redoing everything you know how it goes I am sure
 


Ramairgt2 did some of the 97 DIC come with the Trac push button? cause My GTP looks just like the one in the pic but no trac off button.
 
nope. My 97 came with it even before I swapped the dics out.... I think it might have been an option to have it removed or on all the time????? at the time the 97 GP's came out
