Gauge Pod, option for later? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

AlohaBR · 05-29-2009, 08:30 PM

Looking to order a V6 car but don't want the leather interior. Seems that is the only way to get the gauge pod set in the console.
Has anyone heard if this will be available to order from the dealer later and then is it able to just plug-in?

Thanks

you should be able to order the part anytime now or from gmperformance.com. Im thinking you just put it there where that tray is, and chances are there is a plug already under the dash for it and you just plug it in.

The only thing you will ever need...

MSD Dash Hawk. http://www.dashhawk.com/

One of the reasons I want a 2010 Camaro.. cause the ODBII has CAN Bus.

The dealer said as soon as they get a vin number they can order the correct one, which is what I'll do...

There was a little discussion about this somewhere else. I don't think it will be a simple swap because the gauges are part of the center console. If you find any pics on here you will see how the console piece is one.

Ah you know what I forget he was talking about the 4 pack I was thinking just general aftermarket pods.

Buckbo · 05-29-2009, 09:04 PM

My dealer is installing them when my car comes in since I didn't want the leather either.

Yes, I am sorry I didn't make that clear. It is the 4-pak of gauges on the console.

I think there was a post with the part number and some info from Camaro Scotty a few weeks ago.
