19902drlumina Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 thought thats what u meant do a search The DIC was actually only available 89-91. It was not offered 92+.It will bolt in and work fine in 92-93 Cutlass Supremes, but I don't know if the wiring is there. It will also work fine in a 94 with 3.4 DOHC Cutlass, but I know the wiring is not there. A 94 3100 Cutlass is questionable, as like Taylor mentioned, it has the P6 flash-ROM PCM which has a 32-bit processor, a LOT more RAM, ROM, etc. It might not spit out the appropriate data on the serial bus. No place to mount it in a '95-97, although it might work in a 95 3.4 DOHC Cutlass. Any car can support a compass/temp rearview mirror. However, W-bodies are not prewired to support it. It was only offered as an option on 97+ Grand Prix, 98+ Intrigue, 99+ Impala, and other gen 2 W-bodies. I put a Gentex autodimming compass mirror w/LED map lights in my '89 Cutlass Supreme. It works just like the factory mirror with the map lights doubling as a dome light. The compass display matches my digital gauges cluster and auto climate control EXACTLY. It looks great, I didn't want the version with temp because my ACC already displays outside temp. I got mine for $125 off Ebay, pulled from an '00 Intrigue. For my '94, I managed to find a very similar Gentex autodim compass mirror w/LED map lights for $60 shipped from car-part.com. It's from a '99 Intrigue and the housing is a little different, but otherwise identical to the one I got off Ebay. Donnelly also offers (or did offer) an autodim compass mirror with green display and map lights for around $200. If you want the compass, outside temp, and map lights, they usually sell for $200+ on Ebay. I got one with compass and outside temp, but NO map lights for $75 for my Chevy Silverado. Anyway, they're not prewired, but all you need is the 7-pin Molex pigtail from the car that the mirror came out of. 5-pins will be need to be hooked up, 3 of which go to the factory mirror: +12V constant (for map lights), Ground, and Domelight input. You only have to run 2 additional wires: +12V switched so your compass/temp comes on with the ignition on, and reverse light input so if you have your car in reverse, the autodimming is disabled. This is so the mirror won't dim when you're pulling out of your garage. BTW, after much research, I've discovered compass mirrors with map lights are VERY rare. The ONLY car I've found that got compass mirrors with map lights in the GM lineup is the Olds Intrigue. TAKEN from Would my 96 Cutlass Supreme be wired for a DIC/mirror Quote

GnatGoSplat Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 It can be made to work 100% on a 94 w/3.4 DOHC. http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28597 Quote

ripp Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Posted March 17, 2006 so a dis wont work with a 3100 at all? Quote
AWeb80 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 i dunno, is there a way to tie it into the c100 or whatever it is called? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 I think it might work with a 3100, but there's zero chance of being able to make the fuel economy stuff work. Quote
ripp Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Posted March 17, 2006 i just hookedit up and i have the lights working /date and time but have 0 rpm,-40 coolent temp,23%oil life,140 miles to empty 5 Quote
ToroToro Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 You screwed something up then. I have one in my '94 3100 CS, and EVERYTHING works, except fuel data of course. Check your wiring. And reset your oil life. Quote
ripp Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Posted March 17, 2006 do you have the right pin outs? i hooked it up off the link that was sent Quote
