Installed my HN Customs gauge pod mount this afternoon. Fit and finish of this handmade piece is incredible. 10/10 and worth the wait.

Here are some pics of the install. Had to drill a hole in the dash to route the wires to the OBD port. Took my time and it came out great.

I purchased the Banks iDash recently thanks to your post lol. But I have a few questions about your install. Did you end up removing side panel on dash? If so how? Or did you drill the hole and fish the wire through to OBD port? I have vent pod also. Just waiting on delivery. I just want to run wires and be ready. I’ve already removed all trim any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Edit: just read the other post I’m going to try to stick my hand up and feel the bit

It’s certainly awkward but that was the best way i could figure how to do it.

Yours popped out too? My vent was glued in, had to chop bit by bit out with an exacto knife. The aeropod is nice though.

That reminds me, Banks is supposed to release a transmission temp update for this gauge soon. "Spring 2024".

Fingers are crossed for the update but not holding my breath.
