I have a 2008 Chevy 1500 CC 5.3 and it didn't come with the DIC controls, can this be added on?

 

Yes, it can. Here is a very good explanation of it. It works to all GMT900 trucks IIRC. I did it to my Work Truck.

call the stealership and get it. all the online places ive seen are out. i paid 108 for mine vs waiting 3 days to get the panel in and another week for the keypad thing

 

So far, all the GMT900 trucks I have torn apart (even W/T and crew cab LS) have the plug in the dash for the advanced driver information center. I've only looked at one 2007 and a few 2009s.

The part number you're looking for is: GM 19159438

Seems to run about $85 at the dealership.

I have created an information page here (click)

This is what you get in the package:

 

Thanks for the pics and part numbers. I will have to go to the dealer on monday and get this. Off subject but does anyone know if the steering wheel audio controls are this plug and play also?

 

thats a really good question. id like to know also

id like to know how to take the silver plastics off the steering wheel so i can sand and paint them.

 

i was actually triying 2 do that.. . but the airbag sensor came on.. . i left it alone..

 

check the thread below about steering wheel trim. Disconnect your battery like 30 mins before hand to be on safe side

 

I'm going to order this for my 09 Silverado!
