    Totally doable if the switches are managed with a switch panel to make room for the puddle switch located along with the lower switches.. lol

    I have that same switch panel because I have an anytime camera switch I plan on putting in as well which will take up the extra space. How many switches are in the center console? I plan to add heated seats so that will be 2 switches and if I add the Puddle pod switch I'll need to make space for 3. If there's only 5 switches there from the factory, I can get an 8 switch panel made and that'll solve all the issues. It would be easier to figure out if I had the truck already, but im trying to same some time, so when i get it I can start cranking out the mods I have for it lol

    You guys with AT, what's your usage pattern on ECT? I definitely agree that it belongs in the knob rather than the dashboard but from what I heard many people just do ECT always on mod? Is there a fuel economy savings with it off? Or maybe if/once you tune or re-gear then it's more of an optional/fun thing? But for stock gears and stock tune, seems like you'd want that sucker on all the time, yeah?

    Also had @oostroma put in an ice blue led (which I think I fried and need to fix) and pulled the red stitching and swapped to black.

    Highway, up hill and overtake. So here in Colorado mostly always aside from the 100 mile stretches of straight road. Then it's off with cruise on. Definitely save with it off. No question.

    I moved my ECT to a more convenient location.
    I use it when on 400 series highways (interstate highways for you US members). Also, use when towing my pop-up camper.

    I put an ECT button on my shifter as well. I turn on ECT if I'm first in line at a traffic light or pulling out in to oncoming traffic, it gets turned off once I get up to speed.

    This thread always reminds me of the set of PP I've got rotting on a storage rack instead of being installed already...
