There are some A-pillar mount designs and I have seen a gauge pod that fits in the tray thats on top of the dash. I would be interested to see what you could do for the F-150 for sure!

FYI Lariat is spelled wrong on your antenna page.

Fixed

I can get Marshall Gauges for you. I don't keep a lot of their stuff in stock at a time, but I should be able to get anything in given a few days to order them in.

Exactly.

I would be interested in offerings for the F150. I currently run a garmin and would like to have a more stealthy install location. I would also be interested in an Edge mount as well.

Keep up the good work. I'll support a U.S. company in a heartbeat.

I would be interested as well. Not necessarly for additional gauges, but a GPS mount, phone mount, CB mount, or other ideas.

Seems to me that a replacement for the dash tray that would allow for installation of various accessories would be very welcomed. The tray is easily removed and replaced and there is a lot of room under it for wiring, or other parts that can be hidden out of site. Perhaps a good place to mount an inverter and have plugs in the tray? Just a thought. I currently have my scanner mounted there, and would like other options to mount there. A gauge mount there that would enclose the rear of the gauges would be great, especially with standard gauge openings so I can mount whatever gauge I want.

I'd be interested as well, as a user of the Motorola Backflip (Android) phone, I'd love to be able to mount it for not only calls but for OBD readouts . If you do make something for it, would you be able to bring the device closer to you for operation of the phone (Not while driving)...... but say to pull over and change to making calls or maybe coming out of calls to gauges... a telescoping mount? I have to agree with some others, it seems a bit on the expensive side pushing a good amount over $100.00 If it was marketed in the $9x.xx range right under $100.00 i'd probably not have even thought about what the price was and get one.

Thanks , hopefully you guys can get something figured out for the Number 1 selling truck in America.

We are interested too. We will get to work on some ideas.

The backflip looks pretty cool, and ODB reading is a must.

I've been lurking on a couple Mini forums, and now that I see what it looks like installed, I want one even more! Hopefully you will release one soon!

We could use some trucks to work with for development of a FlexPod and other F150 products, anyone in PDX interested in helping out? PM me for details.

I would like to see a guage pod for the 97-03 F150 that retains the factory grab handle and a Garmin nav pod for the same 97-03 F-150

Use of Tray

Agreed with folks above..be nice if someone would make a nice pod for the dash tray. Makes for easier wiring of the accessory. Please consider the '09+ trucks as well..I think the trays are different size that the 04-08's.
I have the garmin 5000..yeah, its big, but wanted the back-up cam display option and it was the only one I could find that did it. I've been trying to figure a way to mount it (other than a bean-bag) on the tray where it would look more 'stock'..
Nice to see someone asking what the consumer wants! Keep up the good work!

I would like to see an a-pillar pod that holds three (or two - whatever is more realistic) 2 - 1/16" gauges plus a spot of the bottom for an Edge/Gryphon tuner. 1997 - 2003 F150's.
