I am looking for a pod for gauges for my S4, but i figured i could get more help here. I am looking for a pod that mounts on the steering column, however, all the pods I have seen only hold one gauge and I would like to hold more than 1. I need a pod that hold 2 like this:

Also, if a pod on the steering column that holds two gauges is not available, I would like one that can mount two gauges on the A pillar, down low almost near the glass. I would like those to be mounted one on op of the other.

Does anyone know where to source eather of these products?

Thanks,
Paul

A prototype dual guage pod for a B6/B7 is being made for me! [:D]

I'll post pics once it is finished.

But if you want to have dual display in one gauge you can check this out: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172621

i like the idea of the dual gauge set up. I am going to run the oil Temperature gauge with the bars on the top and the other gauge will be the dual display with oil pressure and water temperature.

When do you think the dual gaude pod will be available?

The dual pod won't be slated for production for a while as I have too much money invested in the 3 pods designs and multiple gauge designs right now.

Until I recover some of that investment I won't have the funds to start a new project.

In case you were wondering it takes $20,000 to bring each pod design to market.

The dual pod I am having hand made is a prototype to see how it would look and I need it for my own car for track purposes. If you can't wait for a production unit, I can forward you the cost of the one off prototype I am having made and make another one for you.

can you send pricing and pictures to [email protected]. Also, what doe the three gauge design look like. I am wondering if this might be a better choice. Any ideas when this will hit the market?

There is no 3 gauge, or triple, design for a pod.

I was referencing the Audi B5, B6/B7 and VW Mk4 pods (three) I have designed.

When is the dual column pod coming? Best guess is late 2008 if I sell a who bunch of pods this summer.
