Custom overhead console switch plates

Are these the most thorough install instructions out there? Can't find anything official on the Meso website, or searching other threads.

Also, has anyone done this mod and already has the ImMrYo rear-view mirror lift mod? Curious if this panel will obstruct the mirror when installed in the lower sunglasses holder.

 

I don’t know if mine are the most current instructions but it gives you a latest idea of what to expect. Additionally, I had the ImMeYo mirror riser...took it out...then did this MESO install...and knowing the MrYo sight line, the MESO in the front holder, like mine, will impact the sight line.

 

Yes I did it and had to put the insert in the rear sunglass holder to keep from interfering with the mirror lift.

 

Are you still making the 5/ 6 switch panels for the 2nd gen?

 

I believe you JUST missed a run of these. There's an option to receive a notification when they go on sale again. They tend to go quick.

 

Yup.. its usually how it works
Always late to the game

 

Awesome idea. Subbed.

 

Installed the Switch Pro type last weekend. Very pleased with the panel! Excellent product!

I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to install the screw for the overhead console because of the way the Switch Pro panel needs to be attached to the Meso mount first.

Turns out you don't need to permanently mount the Meso panel into the overhead console. It's such a tight fit that it holds itself in to place.

I first installed the Switch Pro into the Meso panel using the supplied hardware that comes with the Switch Pro.

If you leave enough slack in the Switch Pro panel wire, you can still access where you install the overhead console screw before pushing the panel up in to the sunglass holder location.

Finally did this with my Meso overhead panel. Looks really nice. Fits the interior very nicely and the AirOnBoard switches fit perfectly.

I've seen a lot of folks ask about the length the CH4x4 or AirOnBoard switches stick out the back, but I dremeled out the plastic on the back (leaving the screw hole) to make room. Seems to fit nice and I can gently push on the panel which pushes it up agains the roof and pushes some of the switches out so I can remove the panel if needed. It may be nice for @MESO to possibly include a removable access hole or some way to stick your finger in and push one of the middle switches down. Prob not necessary in my case, but if they snapped in any tighter it might be tough to get them out. Not a criticism at all, just feedback.

 

Did you take a picture of this?

 

Yes, sorry for the angle.

 

Sorry I mean from the backside.

 

I can run down and get some more pics for you on my lunch break. I'll try to grab a few.

 

Here are some other shots. I may have overshot the mounting position on the back but I like the fit:

 

Made some progress on mine today. Currently wiring up my OTTRAW rocker switches. I had to dremel down the inside of the panel to make them fit, but it looks good from the outside. Plus cut out some of the back for ease of install and to make a little more room for the wires on my larger switches.

As others stated I had to dremel down that little clip and the protruding pieces of the little motor hinge things. I didnt have to cut them or drill them out, just grounded them down a few mm to make them flush with the sides.

In case this helps anyone, I didn't want to drill from the outside to get holes through the outside to the two inner mounting holes. So, I lined it up and then heated up a small cheap drill bit with a lighter. Then just pushed it through from the inside to the outside. Worked perfectly.

 

More progress today

 

Sorry, off topic, but where can I find those overhead lights?

 

They are a Meso product too. There is a thread on here somewhere to follow upcoming releases. They sell out very quick. I checked his website a few times a day until I got them. They may sell out within hours of each batch, which at least in the past had months in between. He has the dome light too. I love them.
