Default Dual Pillar Pod?

I'm looking for a dual pillar pod for my '07 1LT. I find the Autometer pillar but it says it won't work if you don't have the A pillar speaker. I don't think my car came with the A pillar speaker. Since this probably won't work, what do I use as a dual pillar pod for my car? Confused. Any help would be appreciated.

The A pillar speaker is actualy the microphone for OnStar. I did not have OnStar when I installed my triple pod. What I did was ordered the microphone and bezel so I did not have a hole in the new pod. See this link for details.

I hope this helps.

Very cool. Do you think it would have installed just fine without the OnStar microphone? It would just have a hole.

Yes would install without issues but I think would look really bad with that hole. It is a good size hole.

You wont really notice the hole because of the plastic from the a-pillar behind it. I have the 3 guage pillar pod from Autometer installed.

Here's a couple more I found. The angle of the pillar pod helps to conceal the hole:

For me the $30-40 was well worth it to not have that hole. You may be able to get it cheaper from corvetterecycling.
