So im thinking now, I did so much work looking for my car before i actually chose the one I wanted and one of my must haves was the RPD. but now im thinking its boring. i mean it does everything its suppose to do but it just sits there and its boring and unless you know about the balts you wont know wtf it is or anything about it until i show you.

so im thinking i wonder if its something i can take out and trade someone for a boost gause and buy a wideband and just swap out my a pillar and have my wideband guages and someone else can have my RPD. just thinking for now tho what are your thoughts.

 

no thoughts at all?

 

i would love to have a RPD i would keep it if i were you

 

its just gotten boring

 

keep it dude it makes the car more unique in its own way

 

gauges would be all cluttered not really but more space, pretty much what he said^ haha its something different

 

Just get a small pod for a wideband. That thing is going to make your car worth something someday. Get a small cup mounted somewhere.

 

Ya its boring ill trade you plus cash.

 

IMO the rpd looks fugly

 

so am i

 

I just ****** hate the fact there's no other a pillars we can get to use other gauges along with it. Other than that, I love the thing and so does everyone else that has seen it.

 

It would be nice if it could be installed in a SC 'Balt.

 

thats kinda why i wanna ditch it. if they made a pillar for it i'd buy it asap!

 

looks like i'm gonna send my rpd to zzp for them to make a gauge pod for us ! woo

 

I think a compnay is working on a pillar that includes the RPD... not sure who though. I saw it on this site earlier today.

 

i'd rather get it from zzp, their gauge pods look stock
i got a gauge pod from cobalt addiction and the thing barely fit, and eventually cracked. pos.

 

Glad to see the idea I had over a year ago for an RPD+gauges pod is finally coming to fruition. Guess demand just had to pick up.

 

yea zoom and i have been pm'ing.
he asked what i would need for it.
just said send me a box so i can send it back, and also asked if he had a base model pillar or ss pillar to put in place for the few months he's going to have it.
just waiting now. will keep you all updated.

 

i have RPD on mine and someone told me that the car would'nt run/run right without it. dont know how true it is but it is kinda hardwired into everything in the car

 

yea thats true.
but you just splice the two brown wire, and two black wires together and thats it.

 

its really that simple? wow ok thats good to know

 

i haven't done it, but heres the how to.
i'll post back if it works in here.
cause as soon as i get the box from zzp to send it i'll be doing it.

Yeah, the car won't run because the car's network in wired in series, so that means that a break in any one place and it breaks the circuit.

When you connect the wires, you complete the circuit, bridging the gap from whatever you removed. There's a "GMLAN+" and a "GMLAN-" set, and it needs both circuits complete to work, so make sure you do it to both, as Interviewwhatruins described. ^

 

ok cool. i love the RPD. i thought it was like a program or something like those keys with the chips in them

 

Yeah man me and you always made threads about this lol
