Thumbs up DIC console

Just purchased an 09 silverado W/T -L/S.......... Dealer added p/w p/l cruise remote start / key less entry. I was wondering if it is worth the $119.00 to have them add the DIC to it also. what all does this add to being able to check as in fuel mileage etc. thanks for any help.

All it tells you is your miles per gallon, gives you a temp readout and the compass. Mileage readings tend to jump up and down while driving basicly a useless device to me at least.

don't pay for installation.
You literally replace the panel on the left side of the dash and plug the switch into the harness that is sitting back there. No tools required and takes 5 mins

well it looks like you have the money to add it to your truck, i have all that in my '07 silverado and in my case i use it alot, first it adds value to your truck, second you can check among other things tire pressure, engine hours, miles you can travel before you ran out of gas, also you can change the settings for lock, unlock, aproach lighting etc. it is a cool feature to have and for that price i would add it to my truck if it didn't have it. plus if you can install it like shawn says (without having to go to the dealer to program the thing) go for it you are going to like it,
you know i'm trying to add to my truck as much as i can to make it look like the ltz
it's going to be hard but if you can what the hell you know.
