    Has anyone ever found a switch that fits into those blanks below the A/C controls? I've always just cut the blanks and fit my own, but I'm looking for a more OEM appearance.

    Haha...not doing it...can't make me!
    There is a thread here with a wide array of switches that people have found, you might need to do a little searching. What blanks are you talking about?

    Yes, those are the ones I'm talking about. I've looked around and only saw people retrofit a switch into the blank, but I'm looking for a direct replacement if any exist.

    The only switch I know of is the ATRAC switch and if I'm not mistaken is a momentary switch. I'll try to measure the blank when I get a chance and see if Carling Tech has anything that will fit.

    I talked to Tim from tundrapart.com and he sent a picture verifying the switch he sells will fit under the A/C.

    I recently ordered a factory-look switch to mount under the A/C controls from tundrapart - fast shipping and just what I was looking for!

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm researching alternative switches to use on my OEM Heated Mirror Mod thread. For those w/ 09+ TRD OR pckgs, there are no blanks to the left of the steering wheel, so that leaves under the climate control for any blanks (which are a different size).

    I think the switches from the newer 4-Runners are the same size, and may be an option. Has anyone tried any 4-Runner switches?
