DIC information display

Is there any way to display any of the following in the DIC? I read a few threads that some of these things have been removed through the years. It's disappointing that there is so much data available about the state of the vehicle that is hidden from the driver.

Oil temperature
Transmission fluid temperature
Coolant temperature
Instantaneous MPG
DoD state

The only one of those that used to be available was the instantaneous MPG. Sounds like you want a DashHawk. I'm not sure they show DoD states, though.

:iagree: The dashhawk will show all you wanted but the DOD status.

I always wondered about that... On my Cadillac I was able to turn on the digital coolant temp readout on the DIC by accessing the IPC (cluster) and turning the option on... With all the info available today, you gotta wonder why it's not made accessable through the DIC...

It is a little weird, as the Grand Prix enhanced DIC will display all those except DoD status.

Displacement on Demand

Only the 5.3l guys have DoD.

Sounds like you want a DashHawk.Wow, $299?!? And it's an external device.

Why, oh, why GM, don't you provide this information in the DIC? It's only software...

Actually before that even... My 96s had all that too, I think it started in 93 or 94... My current 96 is missing the trans temp reading but that's due to it being a 6spd... :laugh:

The dashhawk shows the DoD status on the version II one.
I suggest that you look into the dashhawk as it has trans temp, instant MPG, DoD status, more than you could want!!
