    As long as you have a unit without the side wing/mounting tabs you are fine.

    @mesojdm hey I'm very curious in this picture of your custom switch panel, did you coat the panel or paint it with a texture? I've been testing and testing different textures and paints and can't find anything I really like. Thank you for any information on it!

    I installed panels on the left and center and am trying to relocate some switches from the left side to the center. I need to lengthen the wires and I am just curious, what gauge and type of wires did ya'll use to relocate your switches?

    I've been curious about the same thing. If the wire gauge size works out (which I think would be ok for most switches), thermostat wire from your local hardware store may be a good idea. It's nice because it comes with (8) 18-guage wires individually color coded and wrapped in a single bundle. This would make it easier to relocate multiple wires from one side of the steering column to the other. You can also get 5 wire thermostat wire since most switches are only 4 or 5 connections, but the (8) wire version is not that much more expensive.

    18 gauge is more than enough for switch wiring.

    Hey @mesojdm - Any chance you'll have a flush mount switch pro panel for this? I didn't see that option on page 1.

    Installed my new CP6.1w yesterday as well as moved some switches around. I really hated where the usb port is so I moved it to the left of the steering wheel as well as the ect switch.

    2 things I noticed when installing it in my 2017 is that it's a super snug fit and I noticed that the behind the upper far left switch opening is the mounting location for the factory one so I couldn't install an actual switch there as the back would hit. I need to get a picture of this to make more sense, but here's a picture of what I have right now.

    Running 4 switches on top where there wasn’t meant to be any, I knew some minor trimming behind the dash would be needed. Also, I did make it on the tighter side on purpose, I hate loose/ratteling panels.

    @mesojdm the CP6.1W.....what are the actual switch cut outs size on the upper row of 4 holes. I can’t deal with this anymore. I’m looking at the air onboard 32.5mm by 22mm is this the correct switch to fit your panel. Thanks for the helpD7C5EE0B-56AD-4F22-B680-7DDCCC169820.jpg

    Upper 4 holes are the same size as your 400w power inverter button.

    For the record I want to make sure you and everyone else knows that I am not bitchin at all, just wanted to report just in case others come across it

    I am happy with the fit and like that its snug and I can live with that switch location having something behind it because that is where my bass knob will probably ended up

    Overall i am super happy with it and no regrets purchasing and installing it.
