Looks like that is for the sync 1/2 screens, not MFT or sync 3.

^ what they said. If you have the bigger touch screens it's not gonna fit.

I'd love something like that but that looks like the older size screen.

Are there any companies that make small, discreet digital gauges? There are a few things I'd like to monitor without having the AP hooked up and I'd prefer it not look too aftermarket, if that makes sense. So far the vent pod seems to be the least intrusive place for an extra gauge.

Whoa! Those are waaaaay better.
I really like the ones above the steering wheel.

Yeah, the steering wheel gauges aren't needed for what I'm doing, but I sure as hell want them!

I saw these pods when I started my research for gauge pods. They look great but they're just so expensive for what they are in my opinion.

please do your research
there are a lot of unhappy customers with ortiz gauge pods
Just be sure of what you are buying before you wait 5 weeks for a pod....

Thanks for the heads up! With them saying they are using OEM parts it makes me think they are just slapping some pods onto trim pieces and calling it a day. Something anyone here should be able to replicate in an afternoon for much cheaper.

Look at my DIY. I made a 3 pod pillar mount for under $30 and I think it looks about as factory as you can get while adding gauges.

I got my pod from Ortiz gauge pods off of eBay, it was perfect with no issues thus far... I've had it about a month

consider yourself lucky
I was only suggesting to be sure about the purchase
There were tons of horrifying encounters with their products
Honestly couldn't care less about their business or pods, just sparked my memory of bad product experiences with some of my fellow SRT-4 owners and wanted to pass along a buyer beware warning

Looks great! Would the AP still be able to fit on the a-pillar cradle with that setup?
Yes but you'll probably get 2, maybe only 1, gauge on there with the AP mount. If you have an AP you might be able to modify the vertical piece of trim to mount the AP.
