    Does this setup also requires cutting like the top 5 switch option?

    Yes. Anything really wider than the OEM pocket will require slight trimming on the sides

    Any idea when we can order the LSP7 again? Sorry if this was recently asked. Everything I want on your site is out of stock.... Which is a good sign about how great your ideas and products are.

    Awesome. At least my current MESO SP panel should be easy to sell when you open back up. Lol.

    Got the shipping notification and my switch panel will be here on Thursday. Install to take place hopefully this weekend. I'm off work tomorrow and may go ahead and install my puddle light switch and have it ready.

    Slowly coming together. My buddy designed and printed the panel for me. This is a prototype he had left over. I’m waiting for some blanks to arrive to finish this.

    Here is a cool little custom panel I did which integrates the Tekonsha Brake controller with a flush fit. It's also slightly angled up which is east to see the display.

    Custom made extended lever as well

    Whoa, mind blown! :boom:

    Any plans to make that available to all? Had I known that was coming might have waited! My plan was to switch to a Redarc using a small switch style (B) mount when I got a 2020 since I didn't figure there'd be room for the Tekonsha P3 anymore between the cubby going away and the 2 switches they put there now. That solves both those problems!

    If you do make it available, might have to ponder whether to stick with a Tekonsha and order a new panel or switch to a Redarc like I was planning with my BBBB-on-top panel I ordered and got already...

    I think I'm going to order a custom switch panel next time orders open up. I'm out of blanks currently and already have ideas for future mods & accessories.

    I'm thinking of:
    Top- BBBBB
    Bottom- EBBB

    and getting some blanks from Meso so I'm ready to go when I need to add some new switches. I'll be able to swap puddle pod switch from the center to the left and keep all lighting on that panel.

    Yup, I will be adding is as an option now to the custom panels. Just wanted to check fitment on the first one before offering it. It’s a few bucks more because of more brackets, and an additional part(lever) but IMO this is the cleanest way to install it.
    One of my more popular configs actually

    Sweet! If they go out by tomorrow, I might get it by Saturday and installing that would be a cool mod to finish up over the weekend :)

    Came in today and installed along with my puddle light switch. Now I just need some blanks or a couple of other switches.

    Got mine today. Dual overhead and doesn't fit. Too much overhang on the passenger side with the sunroof switches. I sent Drew some photos and info.

    2020 Limited.

    I just checked mine again. Although it is tight(I try and make all my panel lock in tighter than normal because I hate rattles) it does fit. There could be some minor dimensional tolerances between my parts and/or the factory overhead consoles.
    Mine VS stock (+1mm on each side)
    [​IMG]

    Here is a quick install video I did and showing final fitment.(sorry, hard to do 1 handed holding camera)
    I am happy to make a slightly smaller one for you if need be.

    @MESO were you able to test it on a 2020? With the new SOS button up there, wonder if they tweaked the size of that gap/opening and thus the part.

    Maybe someone like @Jeff Lange from over in the 2020 parts thread could verify if it is the same part number in the 2020s vs. older?

    Unfortunately I have not tested it on the 2020 with the SOS. If there is a width difference I can tweak the siZe easy. I don’t see why Toyota would do that, but you never know

    Yeah hard to say, but that is the first thing that came to mind. Hopefully someone who has access like Jeff can look it up in their system and see what the part numbers are. If it is different part numbers for 2020 vs older for essentially the same part, then it seems like there must be some difference.

    Coming at it from the other direction, anyone with a 2020 with the SOS button bought the upper panel and was able to get it to fit in there?
