Has anyone installed this is their car? if so how hard was it to relocate the heated seats buttons?

Guage Pod

 

Looks clean, but bad idea. Not only do you have to re-locate your seat heater switches, but you would have no power outlet there ( i suppose you could use the one in the console) and that is where the port is where you plug the car in to read codes.

 

OH SHIT yeah how would u check your codes n shit! this is a horrible mod!

 

you prolly just remove it to check codes, not that hard.. are you boosted? if not, no need for extra gauges, thats from deuce's car.. looks great imo

 

the last pic looks like a screaming face, and i wanted to to buy it

 

It's not as bad as you'd think. Just relocate the OBD II interface by extending the wiring to a different location and extend wiring for the switches and gauges.. it's really easier than it sounds. I've done it on my car already. Takes only a few hrs of patience to do.

 

iirc, i think there are only 2 or 3 wires going into the back of each of the switches in the connector so you would just need to lengthen those. you'd have to remove armrest-console-shifter back anyway so shouldnt be too much trouble. the pillar gauges look a lot better.

 

This is not something members would have been installing in their car to know if it was easy or not.
It was a 1 off.

2. If you did install it you could EASILY remount your OBD2 hookup to under the dash where you could get to it, and remount your seat heaters. Since you have to take that part of the console out to replace that all in 1 unit it would be simple to cut and extend the wires.

 

can anyone confirm if the accord 98-02 or the CL ones on gaugepods.com will fit? i hear things, but dont know for sure.

 

^ i read consistantly that the CL comes too short and from what blktlon19s (the turbo tl) he said the accord one does fit...
dont take my word on that though..

 

^yeah, that guy doesnt ever pick up his phone

 

Do a search, I have a post with picks as to the difference between our 99-01 TL TLP pillar and type S pillar Lo Tek made a while back. I was first to tell them it doesnt work and why. Find out if the accord is the same as TLP or TLS and you should have your answer. I would think the accord one is more like the TL 99-01 but not sure,

 

NHB -- do you have pics of yours?

 

thanks. i read here https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=pillar that the CL ones will not fit a 2G TL.

i have an 03 TL so i think the type-s would fit no prob.

man thisbites!

 

im gonna use a universal pod on the steering colum and im fiberglasssing everything in...dnt want everybody knowing i have gauges...right now i have the velcroed to the steering column lol

 

^^ mine are double sided taped onto the steering column...
how hard would it be to fiberglass it on?

 

shouldnt be too hard...just glue the pod onto the steering column...lay fiberglass over it, then sand it down and paint it...ima try and do it in a few weeks

 

but it blocks teh odometer and normal gauges
