another question, how did you do the wiring behind the gauge cluster? did you remove the wireless charger?
The wireless charger is still in underneath!
When my new gauges come in, ill post a video showing routing. Its 2 trim pieces removed (only 2 screws in total IIRC).

I may have gotten a little impatient and went ahead and shipped the current orders 😅

I don’t think anyone will mind — everyone will be receiving their gauge pods on 1/24/26 via USPS.
Tracking numbers will be sent out via PayPal within the next 20 minutes.

I’ll continue accepting orders until Sunday, January 25th.
15 spots left (5 blue, 5 black, and 5 red).

Good evening!


I originally intended on posting a full step-by-step “how to” guide, but during the install I kept forgetting to take photos lol. Sorry about that. I’ve got an upper respiratory infection and my brain is operating at about 60%, but I still wanted to get the info out since the 5 people who ordered will have theirs arriving in the mail. Also, in my stupidity, i accidentally used an old version of the pod, so it looks different than the ones sent out.


One note before starting:
You’ll see I have a vacuum gauge AND a boost gauge installed. Amazon sent me the wrong gauge and is shipping the correct one (they let me keep the vacuum gauge). I’m just using it for the post and will rewire once the correct one shows up.


1 - Gather your parts and tools
Have your gauges, pod, and recommended tools ready. I suggest a plastic trim removal tool, stubby Phillips screwdriver, and flathead screwdriver.


If you are doing the wiring yourself (not OBD2), I highly recommend a soldering iron, solder, flux, heat shrink, and a lighter.

2 - Install the gauges into the gauge pod
Get them seated and aligned before moving on.

3 - Solder and heat shrink the wiring
Take your time here. Clean wiring now saves headaches later.

4 - Create the wiring harness and add pigtail connectors
I added pigtail connectors to make the pod easy to install and remove if needed. This makes future service much easier.

5 - Remove interior trim
Remove the shifter trim by gently pulling upward on the corners. Be careful, as there is wiring for the buttons on the trim.

On the front underside of the wireless charger on the left side, you’ll see a flat area. Underneath is a small Phillips head screw that is upside down. Remove that screw.

You can now gently pull the driver-side footwell trim away. Do not try to remove it completely.

6 - Run the wiring under the dash
Run the wires from the driver-side footwell fuse box, under the dash, behind the trim, and up to the wireless charger area.


My gauges needed constant power, switched power, and headlamp power for dimming. GlowShift gauges are extremely bright, so I tied into the headlight circuit so they dim automatically.


No photos here, sorry everyone. Again, sick brain.


7 - Fuse box connections
I used Add-a-Circuit fuse tap adapters (search Amazon). This is the cleanest way I’ve found to get power.


Fuse spot 13 was used for switched power.
Fuse spot 18 was used for constant power.


Important: Fuse spot 13 is the ONLY switched power location I have found.


For ground, I used an existing grounding point next to the fuse box.

8 - Engine bay routing
If the battery is not disconnected, disconnect it now. There are two 10mm bolts holding it to the tray and one 10mm bolt on each battery terminal.


To the right of the brake booster is a factory grommet. This is your entry point into the cabin. It exits right by the fuse box in the driver footwell area.


I carefully punctured the grommet using a small copper wire as a tool tool (be cautious, this is a factory grommet) and ran my vacuum line through for the boost gauge.

9 - Sensor connections
From here, it depends on what gauges you are running.

For a boost gauge, on the back left of the engine there is a small boost reference line from the intake manifold to a factory sensor. That is a good place to tap.

Coolant temp, oil temp, AFR, etc. all have different tap locations unless you are using OBD2.

10 - Reassemble and test
Reassemble the interior, reconnect the battery, and enjoy.

At this point I realized I didn’t have a long enough vacuum hose and my body was done for the day (still sick). I need about two more feet of vacuum hose in the engine bay, but I’m not running to Advance Auto right now.

Everything lights up correctly and turns on and off with the car.

I can still make 4 black, 5 blue, and 5 red pods. I’m only taking orders until Sunday night, and then that's it. Buy one for your mom, dad, resell them for triple the price locally, etc. Once they're gone, they're gone and people will want an option.

I'm gonna have some orange juice and take a nap. Enjoy everyone!
