Looking to get the Podi gauge and mount that replaces the upper part of the steering wheel column. I found it on a Canada site only. Anyone else have any leads on these?

Thanks.

I've always purchased directly from Podi.ca (https://www.podi.ca/). Other resellers like ECS, etc offer them but I've never had an issue buying directly from them.

I might be blind but I don’t see them offering it anymore.

It’s been discontinued for a while

It's really unfortunate, he got fucked over by employees and vendors, lost a lot of money trying to bring a cool new gauge to market, probably just threw in the towel.

Damn. If he had the mold and sold it to someone to produce that would be awesome. Sucks to hear he got fucked over. :( I wanted something different than the P3.

I was lucky enough to pick one up before they nerf it

sorry to hear this about Podi/Winston. I too have one on my b8.5, had one on my b5 as well and always liked the design

Totally didn't notice that the B8 pod was missing from their site. Major bummer for Winston. I've used Podi in all of my B5s and B6s.

I did see that PG Performance has them listed here (https://pgperformance.com/audi-parts/a4-s4-b8/interior/gauges-pods/). I've never purchased from them but it might be old stock?

I hit up those few companies in Canada that still had the mount listed on their site. They told me they order direct from Podi. And as people here mentioned already, I believe he's going out of business after he clears his inventory.

So chances are they just need to pull it from their outdated sites? Like mentioned above PG is who I found as well but I’m not convinced they have it. Did you contact them?

I have not contacted P3. I never saw it offered when I searched. I've looked high and low for their steering wheel mount but could not find anyone that had them besides two companies in Canada. I even emailed Podi but they never responded. I ended up just buying one of their gauges since they're on clearance and went with the Aeroforce pod.
