    Did some searching and read through a lot of threads, but didn't find the answer for this.

    I have a 2008 DCSB OR 6MT with the lower dash (the part below the climate controls) with just the two 12V cig lighter holes. I would like the lower dash that has the bank of 4 switches with the 2 cig lighter holes on the right side.

    Is that lower dash just from a '12-'15? Does that piece swap over to '05-'11? Does it matter if it comes from a manual or auto for the left side where either the parking brake or little tray is depending on your truck?

    Thanks in advance
    JP

    Curious as well, I can tell you the 12-15 radio bezel fits right into my 09 dash. Which makes me think it would work, you might have to figure out the extra wiring if it isn’t back there.

    I've seen that photo before in one of the threads. That looks a little different than the one I am thinking of. The one I am thinking of has a bank of 4 switches on the left and 2 cig lighter ports on the right.

    Impossible! I just took it before haha, but I was just showing that the 12-15 bezel fit the older lower trim piece so I’d imagine it would work the other way around.

    Got lucky at one of the local pick-a-part places and found one for $30. I guess we will find out.

    HA, I swear I'd seen that photo before, but maybe not. Maybe I've been on TW too long (I can't even post in the Parts/For Sale section yet).

    Nice let us know if it works, and if the wiring is actually all there.

    I plan on switching over the cig lighter plugs, but for these 4 switches I plan to use them for other things. I know I don't have A Trac or heated seats, so won't use that wiring whether it's there or not. I do plan to do the AuCar Tesla style radio, so I will use one of these holes for the USB connections for that. Not sure what else for the other switch holes, just seemed like it would be nice to have. I might do Katzkin or one of the other covers for the seats and I would be interested in the heated/cooled version of those...so maybe that's where those controls go. We will see.

    I have one actually, from a 08 it’s not perfect but could be cleaned up nice. I’ll get a picture in a while when I get home.

    Shoot me a message, your airbag key and 4x4 switch will snap right in.

    I replaced my 2005’s lower dash with a 2014. Everything lined up perfectly, and it looks 100% better than before.
    Don’t have a good before photo, but here is the after. IMG_1684.jpg

    This is the best before photo I have. You can see in the lower left of the photo that the cig lighter is on the left side, like the older models. IMG_1652.jpg
