"Single" A-pillar gauge pod

Does this exist for a C6? Really dont want a bulky double/triple pod. Not really committed on drilled into the dash either at this point.

Thanks.

Look at forum vendors and see if they have any. That is all I can think of.

I'd like to get one as well, preferably without the speaker hole. Actually, I'd even take a two pod, if it didn't have the speaker hole. I can't even find on of those.

I'll let you know how it works out. The D-Pic guages are standard 2 1/16 so it should work out. I'll post pics when I get it in.

Got it in, haven't really figured out where I want it exactly yet, but this is pretty close. But I have to play around with it a bit before I install the wiring through. But I think you get the idea, should work great.

That's not a speaker it's a mic for the nav and on-star and all you have to do is buy one from GM to fill the hole.

No reason I can think of why you couldn't. There is a block that holds the suction cup as well as holding the housing together with two screws. You could attach velcro to that and mount it someplace I suppose. But there are tons of other pods out there with no suction cups.

They sell MAP sensors that connect to the gauge, so yes, this gauge will work as a boost gauge. It actually has two analog inputs, so you can use one for boost and the other for a wideband. That's my intent eventually.
