    I got this system as soon as it became available last year. I really like it, and the family that owns the company is awesome to deal with. Here's where I mounted my switch.

    I've got two more buttons in use now, but not an updated picture. The control module for this is mounted right next to the battery.

    I''m working on my wiring and getting ready to install my Switch-Pro. I think I have most of it worked out, just need to find a good place to connect the yellow wire (step #7 in the instructions). I don't like tapping into existing wires, but have not found a good place to get the marker light signal in the relay box in the engine compartment.

    I'll get switched power (step #8 in the instructions) from the same relay I used for the "Fog Light Anytime" mod. The towing relay I believe.

    My plan is to mount the Switch-Pros control module on a panel in the engine compartment and connect all the control/power wires to a terminal block right next to it. I can then easily connect the various lights etc. to the terminal block, and it will also allow me to easily move the feeds to different buttons on the switch panel (hope that made sense).

    So far I have run all the aux wiring to the engine compartment, and am making up the panel right now.

    Good luck! I ended up mounting with double sided tape to the fender right next to the battery. Left the leads coiled up and labeled for when I need them. Works great. Post pics when done! :thumbsup:

    Can one of you guys who have installed this let me know what wires you tapped into for the yellow and blue wires in the engine bay?

    I'm about to start this project next week. I'm terrible with the electrical stuff and looking at that fuse panel map is giving me a headache haha. I want to use fuse taps so any body that could post a pics of the fuses they taped into would be greatly appreciated!

    I havent gotten a clear answer but I'm going to try the yellow to the dome light and blue to AM1. I'm going to route those 2 wires back into the interior and tap the fuse box under the drivers dash so I won't have to put holes in the engine bay fuse box. I don't want to use wire taps so I'm going to use 2 fuse taps. Here's a pic of the fuse panel lid. Im gonna give it a go on Sunday. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Another mounting option for you guys, but it does require some trimming to the button panel. The left mounting ear needs to be cut off to clear the mirror controller. That aside it fits perfect.

    Just received and email from autoanything.com announcing they are having a 24 hour sale with 24% off. They do not list the Switch Pro as a product that you cannot use the code on so in theory it should work. They are a California company so I assume the 24 hour sale starts at midnight local time so I cannot verify that it will for sure work yet.

    The code is: 24HRS

    And.... for those of you who have purchased a Switch-Pro from autoanything.com in the past and your discount was less than the 24% they are offering now, they have a one year price match guarantee and they will match their own sale codes. So the order I placed last week at a 20% discount was just upgraded to the 24% discount netting me just over $20 back. I just opened a chat window online and had my order number handy. 10 minutes later all done!

    No, unfortunately they discontinued their discount policy for the Switch-Pros. You can no longer get a discount with any of their codes. You can always try to have a computer chat with one of their associates and ask if they are willing to give you a discount. It has been said previously that asking has worked and a small discount was given. YMMV.
