As you know the new 2013 cars dont have a 4 pack gauges that work in the lower models, and you cant add the harness like in the older cars, the one that goes on the side of the counsel, now i did a small test on a car some time ago to add HUD in a 2013 car but it did not work, all worked in the HUD, but no image, that was the fact that the low speed buss did not start the HUD up, so that is why the 4pack does not work too.

so now i need to make that work to know that GM did not change the low speed buss, and if they did that will make the install a lot harder.

I will be changing the 4 pack gauges in the 2SS to the ZL1 gauge pack to get the one with the boost gauge in it.. so I will be taking a close look at the wiring for the gauges.. will post pics if anyone wants them.

You have a 2012 so it will work for the most part dont know if the boost gauge will let use know.

I just took a quick look at the wiring diagrams last night and it looks like I will have to add a wire to the harness that connects the ECU the gauge...
I doubt it is that easy but alas will find out soon enough. the gauge pack will be here Monday and the fun will begin..:bonk:

So today we where lucky and got the 4 pack gauges to work in a 2013 car, and it went so fast that we made a test with adding a HUD in the same car, both harness worked.


You say what does that mater, here is why, we where thinking that in the new cars GM was controlling what starts up when the key is turned on, well its not so that means this is closer to working now, i have 5 more connecters to get info on and then it will be time for testing this out.
