Hello all,

I'm looking to buy a Camaro V6 RS down the road, however all the ones I can find at dealers don't have the convenience package installed, meaning they won't come with the screen on the gauges, like the SS has. Does anyone know if the dealer can install the gauges/convenience package, or if it's just a factory installed thing?

Factory installed as it requires the BCM to have the firmware in it to run the DIC. If you want it then you better order it the way you want it, next to impossible to add it after the sale.

Only 1 person I know of that could maybe add it on afterwards, might try PM'ing GTPrix (Chris White) on here and see if it is possible or not.

Actually if you buy a 2lt, with the rs package it will have the full digital setup.

The 1lt has mechanical fuel and coolant sweep gauges up top. But both yave a lcd screen

I actually bought a 2lt with the rs package it did not come with the gauges seems only vehicles with the convenience lighting package will have them

Always thought this different dash setups were stupid beyond reason. It can't possibly be cheaper to install mechanical gauges and LCD screens mixed in vs just a single lcd screen to display the gauges. Yet the lower trims get the more expensive setup. The cheaper setup is sold as if it was a more expensive addon. Doesn't make fiscal sense, and it simply cheapens the look of the most common trims of the car.

Instead they should have offered the more expensive trims different skins for the dash and obviously the extra gauges/screens for the other drive modes available on some trims but not others.

Just stupid. But what can you expect from a company that put the previous generation car's image on the current car and couldn't manage supporting android auto on one of the two screen sizes available prior to the car's release.
