Default Where can I get a DIC?

Hi there,
My '99 Blazer didn't come with the Driver Information System (aka DIC) but with Temperature and Compass Display.

From what I've read, installing the Information System isn't too difficult, given you have one.

I've checked eBay, Amazon and sites alike trying to find one for sale with no luck.

So, where can I get one DIC?

One minor thing: I live in Colombia, so I'd need to have the DIC shipped either down here or to my mail box in Miami.

do you have wreaking yards down there that you might be able to get one out of?

Thanks for your answer. Now I know what to look for.
Does the one you found on eBay fit my '99 Blazer. Are they all compatible?

Thanks Diaita.
There aren't any wreaking yards down here. Besides, the Blazers that were sold here, they all came with the compass/temp display. The DIC is an option they didn't offer here.

Default Installation guide

Hi guys,

Has anybody got an installation guide? Wanna remove the compass/temp display and install the Information Center.

Do I need anything extra?

Thanks
