Of course you do, otherwise you wouldn't have click on this thread! lol

Anybody expecting pics of something other than a Driver's Info Center can turn back now.  Pervert!  lol

First off, big ups to BBEngineer over on NAIOA.  With his harness and instructions, it made for a very straightforward install.  I'm also happy as a pig in slop that I have air tools at my disposal to get the rear seat's upper cushion retaining bolts out!

After I ran the harness (it tucks beautifully under the lip of the headliner) and cut the hole, it took me a good 20 minutes to finally figure out that the mounting bracket didn't hook to the roof's support rails and just sandwiched to the headliner.  oops

On with the pics:



I had just took it for a spin around the neighborhood, and this was my average economy:








Sittin' in the driveway, this number was rapidly falling:


Also, I love the HomeLink!  Got my home and work garage door openers programmed in there (the one for my house works great - won't be able to check the one at work 'till Monday.)

Definitely gets 2 thumbs up from me.  I highly recommend it for Impy owners who are DIC-less!

most people don't take pics of the overhead console.  I never saw one becuase when I look on ebay, they never show that in a car.

It is like, if they did show that more, you would see more people talking about the HUD's in the buick park ave, and the LeSabre.

Those got HUD, but a lot of people have never seen it.  The HUD controls are located in the OVERHEAD CONSOLE!!!!!

Yeah I always wondered why GM never really promoted their HUD in their cars.  A bunch got them and I didn't even know it besides the GP's and Corvettes.  Rendezvous, Bonneville, LeSabre, Park Ave

And now the DIC is "standard equipment" on alot of the new GM's, as it's integrated into the dash cluster.  On our 07 Impy, the gear indicator, "Message Center," odometer, and DIC are all merged into the same unit.

well, I replaced the 1.8W DIC in my 1988 with a 2.1 W, and the Aurora DIC is not installed yet.  I have to finish getting the dash and wiring setup first.
