I've had this laying around for a while, so it needs to go on eBay. Anyone know if it's compatible with 2004 Monaros?






The last shot is in a 2004 VXR. While you can see that the pods are different shapes, that dash aperature appears to be the same size.

PS You'll notice the airbag cover is marked with glue. Anyone know how these come out, as I need to replace it.

The wiring is different on them and I'm sure but can't confirm the aperture for the trim is different too as I wanted to fit the later dials to mine (04 vxr) and iirc not possible without a lot of work.

The apertures are different - I'm using the later gauge pod (holder) in my 04 CV8, but also changed the stereo/heater surround to do this.

How did you make this work is it much effort? Not the surround lol I mean the gauges.

It's a minor bugger, 04 gauges would be easier all round - raving says they're conventional mount.
