bluegp Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Throwing around ideas...what are the measurements of a '97-'03 GP (trip) DIC (W & H)? I was also wondering what it measures from the left edge of the 3 buttons to the right edge of the display and from the top button to the bottom button. If anybody has taken one apart, can the described section be removed from the rest? In other words, can you cut off the right side with the traction control stuff & the blank area on the left without the internals getting in the way? Quote
sl3196 Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 So you want me to pull out my DIC and measure it??? NO really I plan and pulling the dash to put a cd player in soon and can take some measurments then. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 I don't **think** you can take them apart, as in separate them, as I beleive there is a circuit board back there. I had the base one once and i gutted it, and it had the circuit board across the entire back. Quote
sl3196 Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Yeah ross is right. I had to replace the bulbs in mine and had it apart. Circuit board all the way across it. Quote
runt Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 Yeah ross is right. I had to replace the bulbs in mine and had it apart. Circuit board all the way across it. Yes, I had my DIC out a few weeks ago and this is true. I don't have measurements though, sorry! Quote

Yes, I had my DIC out a few weeks ago and this is true. I don't have measurements though, sorry! Well, crap then. I'm still gonna get one to play with if I can find it cheap enough. If anybody measured theirs, I'd still like to know. What I thought would be neat to do, if it was possible, is to put one in my '97 Firebird. It looks like the display and the 3 buttons would fit nicely in the console in place of the cubby & lighter (where the console meets the dash). The thing I'm not sure about is if the Firebird's computer provides the correct data for the DIC - would anybody here know? Also, I believe, the Firebird's gas tank is not the same size as the Grand Prix's - I'm wondering if that would throw anything off . Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 well since its a 97 its OBD2 and will work. Your range feauture probably wouldnt be acccurate becuase the DIC is probably programmed for a certain capacity. The circuit board on my base one was of the flexable type and maybe you could bend it to fit? just throwing around ideas. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Anyone know if the circuit board on the back of the digital type is flexible like the base one? Quote
