    Tall switch blank on the right is for clutch start cancel. AT won’t ever need that so order up any tall 41mm switch from AOb.com or ch4x4.com and wire away.

    MESO did a run a few weeks ago which included custom 3D print to order driver side cubby. You can get the layout of your choice. 3 smalls on bottom and 5 smalls on top or however you want it. Pull out the old, maybe hack some of the dashboard plastic behind it, press in the new. Done. Just have to wait a month or two or three for the next opportunity

    The picture was just for reference. Mine is not vacant i got the tall yota security in that last right space. I want to keep the same layout but be able to add more on the top buttons. Thinking of putting my redarc button on it and don’t have any vacant slot anymore thanks

    There’s a few places to get switch hole plates. I got mine from Etsy. I’ll try to find the link.

    2020’s don’t have the cubby pocket anymore, so unfortunately the switch plates that bolt up will not work.

    It’d be cool to see what that security switch looks like. Is it a non functional light which flashes? I didn’t expect Toyota to do anything on new trucks with the tall switch blank since that’s the “old” style.

    I do have an LSP 8 which I am thinking more and more I may not use but your pro should have a window switch in the lower switch area so you’d need an LSP 8 W instead. And that’s a much more involved mod.

    MESO does make a cubby with Tekonsha brake controller space and a few other variants but not sure about red arc. I have one for a switchpros 9100 I still need to purchase.

    Do you have a custom layout for this? I want the bottom row to be the same but more switch slot for the top row. Thanks

    Yes I can make custom panels for any configuration. I only open up orders once a month for them though.

    I will keep an eye on your next release. I’ll prolly just wait and not install my redarc yet since i am not gonna be using it anytime soon. Thanks @MESO

    Does the 2020 have a rear defrost? I looked on mine and it doesnt have it. Seems like a logical place to put it.

    I see you kinda rearranged the switches. Were there enough wire slack to transfer some bottom switches to the top row? Thanks looks good

    Thanks. No problems. I think I had to cut away some plastic behind so it would fit.

    I believe CaliRaised has the most options to add more switches to this location.

    Correct. The factory dash was not designed around that many switches, so some trimming is needed. (Don’t worry it does not effect the integrity of the dash, nor the mounting of the switch panel)
    I make them for Cali;)

    Why the black contrast is different between the top and bottom? It doesn’t look uniform.

    It’s the way my printer works. The panels are printed flat(face down) and prints the parts in layers. Since The top section of the switch panel is “flat” it covers it in 1 pass(or later) but the lower section has a slight angle which means it’s slowly stepping up the layers each pass.(showing those small lines)

    I’m actually interested in getting one of these (like the one I included a picture of). I have a 2017 with the rear window switch located in this area. Can the rear window switch fit in one of these openings?
