On my 2005 C6 with retrofitted bi-mode exhaust !


The Very First 2009 ZR1 to have Dash D.I.C. button control !!!!!



Here are the revolutionary new features of this controller:
You can control your NPP/Z06/ZR1 bi-mode exhaust from your dash D.I.C. Reset button, or use the supplied wireless remote to control your bi-mode exhaust.
This product is 100% Zero Battery drain and also has the Zero Battery drain remembers last setting feature built in so the mode you shut the car off in is the mode it starts up in.

This product is plug and play and no permanent modifications need to be made to the car to use it.
If you choose to remove it at a later time there will be no trace that it was ever there!

The D.A.S.H Commander requires a 1 second long button press to change modes on the exhaust. So a quick button press would not change the exhaust but would reset the trip odometer or other resettable DIC feature. To change the exhaust you hold the button for the specified number of seconds ( 1 second ) and then release to change the exhaust. That way you can reset the trip odometer or fuel economy and not change the exhaust until you want to.

The install is as follows: Plug in the power wire fuse adapter, plug the exhaust signal wire into the exhaust fuse location, bolt down the ground ring, Pop off the Dash D.I.C. bezel and hookup the D.I.C. Reset button sensor to the D.I.C. button connector and your done.
Typical install time is 10-15 minutes.


This controller system will come with a CD with a PDF file of the instructions on it so you can view them on any computer.

I build each one of these controllers personally and will be taking care of each and every order from start to finish.

The Kit includes the Exhaust Commander D.A.S.H. main unit, a wireless keyfob remote with spare batteries, and a cd with the PDF file of the instructions.

Step 12: The sensor is inserted into the rear of the D.I.C. button connector on the white wire.
Push the sensor in securely and then use electrical tape to secure it
to the existing wiring harness so that it doesn't come loose.

Step 13: Now that all the wiring has been hooked you will test the system to make sure it is working.
Start the car and verify with the wireless remote that the butterflies open and close.
Then test the Dash D.I.C. reset button to verify that the butterflies open and close.
If everything works properly, shutdown the car.

Step 14: If both the remote and the reset button work correctly then you are ready to put
the dash bezel back on.
Make sure the wiring is tucked back into the dash area and then snap the bezel back in place.

Step 15: Once the bezel is back in place securely, again re-test the system by starting the car and
verifying that the remote and reset button actuate the system to ensure that the sensor did not
come loose when you reinstalled the bezel.

Step 16: Tuck the sensor wire along the console area to the main unit so that it is out of the way and
wont get snagged by passengers. Close the passenger footwell carpet.

Thats it, your are all done!

Enjoy having control of your bi-mode exhaust
2 inches from your fingertips!

:cheers: Ben

Nice job Ben! The DIC control button seems to have immediate response. Great solution to the Lear Car2u visor issue.

Now you're talkin!! That's what Chevy should have done at the factory....it even looks like I might be able to install it myself which in itself would be miraculous...great job!

It is a very simple unit to install. Its a great new way to take full control of you bi-mode exhaust.

:cheers: Ben

It just adds the exhaust controller function. The reset button still operates the same as from the factory.

If you need any other info, let me know.

:cheers: Ben

I like the idea but I have a question. If I'm monitoring my fuel economy and decide to change the exhaust setting don't I reset the fuel economy mode as a result?

Correct, what you would do is change to the instant fuel mileage, change the exhaust and then change back to the average fuel economy. I didnt want to compromise the reset button's function so it does now have dual function instead of taking away the reset and giving you exaust control.

Since the reset button still functions exactly as it does from the factory it will still reset all items that it can be reset. Oil Life, Timer, Average fuel economy and Average speed.

Hi Gannet,

Thanks for the questions.
I am going to be putting up a tutorial that details the entire install so that most questions can be answered by looking at the install.

Here are the answers:
The reset button sensor is a gold plated lead that is inserted into the reset button wiring harness connector behind the D.I.C. button. It is about the thickness of a toothpick and is about 1/4 inch long.

The signal gets from the sensor lead to the main unit via a wire. The wire is run from the back of the D.I.C. harness to the passenger fuse box area where it hooks up to the main unit. I supply the needed wire feeding tool ( a small plastic tube) that makes it a 2 minute job to route the wire correctly.

All will become a lot clearer when I post the tutorial and a video detailing the entire install start to finish.

If you need any other info, let me know.

:cheers:Ben

Good response, thank you. :thumbs:

Dash Bezel remove and install video added.

Full install tutorial with pictures coming tomorrow.

:cheers: Ben

i don't think it was the removal of the dash that was being requested via video, but rather how you set it up with the wires and such AFTER the dash removal.

just my $.02 :lurk:

You are correct.

Some people have commented that they just wanted to see how the bezel came off. That's what the video that was added is.

Others wanted to see the whole install, that's why the full install instructions with pictures start to finish are being posted in the afternoon on Monday 1/5/09. :thumbs:
That way people can experience exactly what it takes to install it from beginning to end .

:cheers: Ben

Good solution!! I think the remote controls are goofy. Thats one of the reasons I went with the setup below...It's 8x the cost of this solution though ;)

That's pretty cool! I take it that there's no retro-fit option for your old bi-mode switch ......

Full Install instructions added to the bottom of the first post!

Let me know if you have any questions.

:cheers: Ben

Thanks to all who have ordered!

I am looking forward to hearing how you like your new controller.

:cheers: Ben

Great looking design. :thumbs::thumbs:
