Replying to: obyone (Mar 19, 2008 12:11 am) The post should speak for itself. I don't know if there is a law or not . But other brands of trucks can be changed.So why can't gm.if others can do it. About beinging lied to check out other gm post about some of their experiences. beinging told their problems are normal.I know i've been lied to alot of times.about the gm cars & trucks i've owned.But it won't happen again Replies to this message: obyone (Mar 20, 2008 2:23 am) mule4 (Mar 20, 2008 5:31 am) grampy1 (Mar 20, 2008 9:45 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: mule4 (Mar 19, 2008 6:41 pm) Being lied to isn't brand specific rather dealer specific. On any given day you could go to any dealership and get lied to and it could be just that they are too busy to care. I don't see how your post helps the original poster cause all you're saying is that all GM dealers lie, right?   I remember all those Toyota owners being lied to and being called liars when they tried to get relief for their sludged vehicles. But that is way too off topic. Replies to this message: mule4 (Mar 20, 2008 5:31 am) grampy1 (Mar 20, 2008 9:45 am) obyone (Mar 21, 2008 5:57 pm)

Replying to: obyone (Mar 20, 2008 2:23 am) I'm saying why don't gm change the settings if other brands can.Most people don't like their doors to lock when working in & out of their trucks.Or seat belt chimes going off when moving a few feet.A flashing light should be enought.The man should change dealers. He might get it changed. Replies to this message: grampy1 (Mar 20, 2008 9:45 am) obyone (Mar 21, 2008 5:57 pm)

Replying to: mule4 (Mar 20, 2008 5:31 am) Not to be a wise A--,but when i bought my 3 trucks i bought them for what i thought a truck was supposed to be,to haul. Mine didn't have all the creature feature toys to go wrong, and have to pay mucho bucks for. IMHO,its time to get back to basics. O.K,now start the flaming.

Replying to: grampy1 (Mar 20, 2008 9:45 am) After the psychiatrists invented Attention Deficit Disorder, the truck manufacturers with the help of their attorneys developed all these fail safes to protect the owners. Because of all these additional features, back in 2003 GM decides to do away with the cabin air filter on their trucks which IMO thought was one of the better features with all the air pollution. But I digress, and will not buy another GM truck because of the lack of a cabin air filter.
#41 of 67 adding driver information center by erobinson35 Mar 21, 2008 (6:19 pm)
I have an 08 Sierra SL and want to add the driver information center buttons so I can change lock options, see fuel economy, etc. I see the panel is available from GM accessories but is it plug and play or does it require dealer programming to make it work. I know some of the info is there. When Onstar emails me a diagnostic it shows individual tire pressure but I only have the idiot light without the buttons. Has anyone added this option or know what is involved. I called the dealer but they didn't have a clue that this was even available as an accessory so they really didn't know what it entailed.

Replying to: erobinson35 (Mar 21, 2008 6:19 pm) DIC is a plug and play feature. There is a post on here about it. What it entails is buying the DIC, removing what's there and plug in the unit. No programming needed by the dealer. Think the part was something like $100.   It is easy and many have done it especially those with the W/T trucks. I'll post the link if I can find it.   Found it.   DIC upgrade Replies to this message: erobinson35 (Mar 22, 2008 3:57 am)

Replying to: obyone (Mar 21, 2008 9:13 pm) Thanks for the info. That is what I hoped to hear.

Replying to: mule4 (Mar 18, 2008 12:47 pm) Hey mule maybe you could help hdfatboy over at the Toyota Sequoia forum. Apparently he was told by the Toyota dealer that there is a Daytime Driving Light switch which will disable the DRL located on the stalk with the regular light controls. He says he can't find it but on the Moroney sticker Toyota charges him $40 for that DRL switch. Dealer tells him he has to have it if it's on the sticker but he still can't find it. Those lying Toyota dealers eh?   Back to topic. One wonders why GM cuts costs in the areas they do. The DIC is a $100 and I would think the information it provides is well worth the price. Guess the bean counters at GM think differently.
