    Refer to MESO’s website or this post. You want one type A spot for your window switch. You can get that in the lower switch panel or drivers side cubby.

    I had the light switch orientated vertically for maximum switchage.

    I got this from Cali Raised Off-Road. Three short on bottom and four tall on top. I think it will look more symmetrical than the stock config.

    This is the stock config that came with the 2020 Taco SR5.

    So, in your stock config picture I see 4 small switches but your replacement has 3 small and 4 tall, were you planning to switch one of the led light bars to a tall switch?

    Since you don't need clutch-start/cancel, seems like a more ideal setup for you might be going small across the top then swap out your zombie to a small, now you've got full flexibility on locations rather than running out of tall or small and having to find a new switch?

    That looks like it's the glass break sensor. Could probably pull it and move it elsewhere or just get the replacement panels that allow more switches.

    fwiw, I skimmed eBay and I see some corolla OEM security switches which look the same but didn’t see dimensions listed So, I’m not sure based on the photos if they are small or tall and no idea if they use the same connector. But they are cheap so might be worth a try?

    I’ll probably just wait for Meso’s Custom layout Re-run. If its a glass break sensor or security something tells me not to mess with it. I’ll probably make it worst and have my taco alarming everytime lol. @MESO can’t wait for the cusyon layout re-runs.

    My 2003 tundra had one. Was actually very difficult to make it set the alarm off. I want to say the instructions to test it told you to take your key and strike the window. No thanks. I smacked that sensor with the key instead and it did alarm, but it wasn't a light tap. My region doesn't even offer the glass break sensor, only saw that while I lived in Washington state, so I can't help further as I'm sure they've made changes in almost 2 decades.

    Yeah that's the Glass Breakage Sensor beeper - you can't do much with it. You would think that Toyota would NOT use a button space for this.

    I bought two additional tall switches for the top:
    CH4X4 Push Switch for Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen - Roof Rack Light Bar Symbol - Blue LED
    CH4X4 Push Switch for Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen - Bumper Light Bar Symbol - Blue LED
    As well as the Anytime Camera kit with the front camera option. That with the tall Zombie lights and the Toyota Security beeper thing - that should fill out the 4 top buttons.
    The bottom will be Off/On Door, Headlight Auto, Traction Control, and LED light bar (for Raptor lights on grill). I will put the anytime camera under the AC control knobs.
