is there a A-pillar 3 gauge pod available yet for a 05 coupe cobalt???

 

Not yet.

 

autometer is in the process of making one as we speak. hopefully soon. i think they got tired of me e-mailing them, casue now they dont respond.

 

i hope they have these out by at least the end of summer so i can buy them after my turbo is installed

 

Please do a search prior to making a new thread. There are several threads about this topic already.

To answer your question, you need to check if you have side curtain air bags. An A-pillar pod can not be installed in that case. If you don't, then you will have to wait a little while longer, or you can always make your own.

 

and how do i get to know if i have a side curtain or not???

 

Should be on the window sticker of your car IF you still have it that is.

 

Easiest solution is to look on the pillar post and see if there is a tab the says SRS(Supplemental Restraint System) The most assured way is to take the pillar molding down and check

 

Here is just an email i received from autometer roughly a months ago after i asked them about the cobalt and them making a gauge pod for it

Michael,

We're currently looking at mounting options for the Cobalt. Unfortunately, because of the A-pillar airbag, we are prevented from doing simple A-pillar pods or pillars. We will have to design a dash pod of some sort.

Thank you,
Matt

I was just wondering if you are considering a A Piller Pod For This Car, from factory the car comes with Bost/Vac (Candian) and PSI (USA) i am aware that many of us fromt he Cobaltss.net community would love to put more gauges as to keep a better eye on our engines, i personanly am very interested in pretty much the full line of Cobalt series gauges, but have no where to put them now.. are yoyu desiging or would u consider making one.. persoanlly if i could cause i doubt your in my area i would give up my car just so you can make one....

 

so i suppose by there response that they wont be doing a A-pillar for the cobalt...

 

I posted info on this a couple of weeks ago. Emailed them and Autometer is making an A pillar pod. No it won't work with the airbags.
