   do you have to remove the A piller to fit the pod and to run the wiring?
   also how do u do this i tried to last nite but couldnt.
   
   with an oil pressure gauge. would the pipe from the block be long enough so i could wire it though the grommet by the glove box to the pod
   
   thanks

   am doing similar thing to you very shortly. but for a psi gauge. i was just gonna run a pipe threw the grommet. up behind the dash then up behind the pillar. then into the guage. you would have to remove the pillar though. but i think you would a longer pipe aswell. but not 100% sure on that as i have never done one.

   im sure that u can get pods that stick straight onto the pillars. the pillars just pull straight off coz there on poppers. gl with it

   plus you would need to take the rubber door seal off and they should just pull off

   you will need to remove the a pillar trim, you need to drill a hole for the wires to go through, run the wires behind the dash, use a stiff piece of wire to feed them through, simple really
