I have a 2001 chev blazer LT with an overhead console that displays only compass and temp. From ebay, I have purchased an ohc with homelink and the display that shows mpg, fuel consumption, compass, temp. I am looking for any assistance in performing the upgrade. Foremost, can it be done?

Thanks.

According to that particular forum, if I have the full blown trip computer, all I would need is the "a class 2 serial bus connection to the BCM", correct? Could you expand on that - certainly cannot be that easy.

Thanks for your response.

The wiring may be the challenging part. You would need to check out your BCM for the appropriate wiring locations. I don't have time today to expand on that thought (Christmas and all), but hopefully I can at a later date or someone else can chime in. Maybe post up in the thread linked to above so that the other people that had posted can possibly help.
