Anyway to add the trip computer that is found in the GMC and Cadillac to the Avalanche? It appears the GMC is a better match with some kind of drawer or tray where the Cadillac guys put an analog clock.

The million dollar question to our behind the dashboard experts is about the wiring? Is it just there hanging, waiting to be used? Some of the functions in the GMC/Cadillac aren't available in the Chevy like headlights that stay on after key removal and shut down XXX seconds later and theater lighting dimming.

Just curious on if it possible and what would be involved in making it happen.

I took a close look at the Cadillac pictures and I was surprised to see that the Cadillac also has a big empty hole in the upper console. It appears that the worthless area is for rear HVAC controls on the Suburban/Yukon models.
 
Hey the area up top is great for holding my pen and mini duster brush.

I bet they have the same wiring harness but maybe not the computer for the trip puter.
 
Don't bet on the same wiring harness just sitting there waitng to be plugged into - for instance, the steering wheel audio kit would, if it were true, just plug into the "wonder" harness, but such is not the case. This tells me that we do not share the same harness - too bad since I defintely plan on swapping in the Caddy's power folding mirrors.
