Ya....i'll be the odd one out now.....now is a frankenstien car.....1st and 2nd gen.... :mrgreen:

hmm...seems kinda strange...other than your positioning for the brights sign it looks just like the HUD in my '94...the 97+ hud has much smaller MPH and also has a spot that shows the radio frequency and if there is a cd or tape in.

Posted

ok, i didn't know about 94-96 gp's...cause i have one on the HUD in my cutlass lol

 

my numbers are MUCH bigger than they are on my mom's 97 GP GT

Posted
yes, but the 94-96 HUD's don't have the "Check Gauges"

 

Are you positive? I was pretty sure all gen 1 HUDs did..

And you couldn't have figured this out by just looking down in the HUD unit with a flashlight and seeing the extra numbers for the radio display?

Original HUD's got the check gauges until 93-ish and the 94-6 HUDs had the warning icons instead. the reason the turn signal, brights, etc are on becuase those pins are getting the input for an oil and battery icon. The numbers on the 97 HUD you have are much smaller than what you would have had with the 94-6 HUD. 97+ HUD's added radio frequency in the same amount of space, so the speed display shrunk in size to fit everything in the same sized unit. It will be interesting to see if the OBD2 speedometer will work in the OBD1.5 car...

FYI in 89-91, it was spelled "Check Gauges" and in 97-03 it was "Check Gages"

nah just jealous of your car!!!! I have more appearance mods then you, but your suspension blows mine away, and your stock interior is much better, gotta keep up with the jones!

Posted

nope just base suspension, with ST springs, new front end, and coilovers. The sway bars are going on in the summer :oops:

About the HUD, I didn't think it was supposed to even be on with the key in the ACC position. ???? Could be wrong tho.

Posted

Only the radio's supposed to come on in accessory, as far as I know. HUDs should only come on with the key on "ON", started or not

Posted

Yes, tony, my key is turned forward....to the ON position, but engine not running...

 

I guess, accessory is turned back ...my key if forward.

Posted

wipers turn on too. so you can watch movies. no joke.

turn the key backwards for accessory.

Posted

Too bad you didn't have a factory deck in there still... Then you could use the Radio part of the HUD.

 

Glad you figured out the problem though.

Maybe the only 94, but someone on ClubGP put a 97 HUD in his white 94-96 body GTP a few years ago. I think his name was Gus? He had a 97+ stereo too, so the radio station display worked.

 

It will be interesting to see if the OBD2 speedometer will work in the OBD1.5 car...

 

What difference does it make? HUD doesn't use any communication with the DLC. It's hooked directly to VSS which is the same on W's from 88 to at least 03. Only the 04+ HUDs are completely DLC driven.

....Thanks Shawn, I thought that was right about the VSS...as i was looking at Brian Teels pin chart....
