I've been looking for an exact pic, but I can't find one on the forum or online.

I need to see a dash pod mount that works on a 2009-2013 F-150.

If someone can post a pic?

Also, can someone measure the width/heigth/depth of the Evolution unit? I think it's 4"x2.5"x? but I'm not sure.

I want to mount an Ultragauge in one of these dash pods (the UG is 3.4"x2.1x.5")

Thank you

Thanks! I've been typing like a chimpanzee on crack looking for this. Wanted to confirm the configuration of the dash pod....hate surprises.

Looking for a local store to see how the Ultragauge fits in it, or online purchase for less than the usual $40. Seems like a nice mounting option.

I got one new, never used I'll give you a good deal on. I bought it for a boost gauge project that didn't work out.

Your PM box is full. I can't send you a PM.

Thanks for the sale.
When I get the pod, I look forward to figuring out how to make it all work together. If it works great and I'm a hero, I'll post like crazy. If it doesn't work or I destroy it, no one will ever hear a peep about this ever again.

I've been on the fence about this pod since I got my Edge. I just ordered one so I'll post up pics when I get mine installed. I tend to order parts and leave them in my garage for months sometimes so there's that.

Install mods:
For me it depends if its a clean install verses several custom steps that take time/planning/backup plan.

As an FYI should anyone get an UltraGauge and think of a dash pod mounting. I hope this will help you, and when I figure out a solution that looks good, doesn't bankrupt me, and will function, I'll post it. Any ideas?

Pics 1+2- Parked with sun shining in worst case (over left shoulder), but blocking with a notepad so you can see (phone camera won't capture otherwise)
Pic 3- UG sitting in rubber grommet bottom edge all in, top edge flushed out to create an angle
Pic 4- UG sitting in rubber grommet top and bottom edges pushed all in
Pic 5- UG sitting in rubber grommet top and bottom edges pushed all in, but grommet BEHIND rather than IN the opening.
Pic 6- Back of the UG seated in the rubber grommet. Note the 3 buttons that need to be pressed.

My idea is to have a plate retained behind the UG and a small piece of velcro in the middle sticking the UG to the plate in the dash pod. Then, by pressing any of the 3 corners, the corresponding button will be actuated, basically 'pivoting' the UG on the velcro. The buttons have a positive "click" of about 1/64" of an inch. But now the issue with the rubber grommet is that the fit is so tight with the UG, I don't believe I can push the corner to get the actuation nice and clean. Will need to rework the grommet by cutting and/or use other materials to mount the UG securely, allow button pushing from the front, and possibly recess the UG 1/2" to reduce sun issues.

Also need to fill gap with cord that is showing in pics.
