09 Gauges Install

Question for ppl that installed gauges on their 09

1. Which gauge pod did you use?
2. What did you use to install the pressure and temp sensor? oil sandwich block?

I would like to install some Defi Gauges, but wonder what kind of adapter i can use for those oil pressure and temp sensor. Would the TRUST oil sensor attachment block work?

I'm not positive but I'm 90% sure the middle of the dash piece is still the same and you can do A pillar gauges...

We may have to resort to OBDII gauges to get oil readings because of the new location, they're really expensive too >_<

The bluetooth mic on the 09s are in that center piece so you would have to maybe deal with that, I think the design and size are about the same tho, so you might be able to custom fabricate something. I'm almost positive the ashtray those won't work. I also think the pillar gauge clusters would work, but dont' know how this will interfere with the airbag there(not sure if the older ones have an airbag there), but I think you could remove/disconnect it so you don't have gauges coming flying at your head if it should deploy.

He's right about the airbag but you can remove it... there's also the mickey mouse gauge cluster pod.
