About This Kit

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) in your Pontiac G8 is the central driver display — speedo, tacho, fuel and temperature gauges, warning lights, odometer, Driver Information Centre and the famous hidden Performance Menu (0–60, lap timer, G-meter) that came factory-enabled on the G8 GXP. With this kit you can unlock the Performance Menu on any G8 cluster, flash the latest factory calibrations, change the logo and theme, and configure the cluster for the exact transmission, oil life, and bulb-out warning combination your build runs.

This is a DIY kit. We ship you an OBDSync scantool plus the tokens needed to license the module — you run the programming yourself at home using a Windows laptop, and the module never has to leave your vehicle.

Same kit, more capability: the OBDSync software also programs the BCM, ECM, TCM, ABS/EBCM, Radio Series 1 / Series 2 IQ, HVAC, SDM, SIC, RFA and other G8 modules. Each additional module is licensed separately with its own tokens, and some modules need more than one token (tokens are $50 each), so once you’ve got the kit you can take care of future programming any time — just add the tokens you need.
