    Thanks, it was easy but still quite a process with the tools i had at the time. Now i have a dremmel, BUT if i need more i will just pay this guy $12 its a good price to me :)

    Part of the process was moving the usb and atrac plugs so my switches would be together.

    Just got it!
    Is it possible in anyway to get 3 switches on one blank?

    I only have 1 OEM spot available on my TRD OR. Knowing that I want to have a few sets of lighting that will operate independently I'd like to get a few switches all into one slot, if possible.

    Let me know what you think. I think the buttons you use are too large - not sure if you have any ideas of smaller ones or anything I can look at.

    maybe if you got three of the cheap small rectangular rocker switches and stacked them, but there would not be any "blank" left

    i have seen double switches, and i googled triple, maybe something along these lines?

    Just got it!
    Yeah if I could keep an OEM look that stacked style would be the only way it seems to be possible. I'll have to keep this in mind once I start with the light mods.. handful of items on the list before those!

    Depending on how you use your USB attachment,

    What I did since I leave my extra old Ipod in my glove box anyway, was remove the wiring/plug that is connected to the back, and then removed the USB switch/plug from the front, I was able to finagle it back in behind from under the glove box and got it reconnected to the plug for the factory harness, and then my Ipod factory white cable ran back to it, the cord just comes out in the glove box and I am good to go.

    And it frees up another slot if needed.

    The white USB power adapter stays there, I got in a cheap kit from Walmart when I had my 2012 and found out it has a soft blue glow from it so
    it serves as the soft illumination I wanted for my cup holders, Lol...

    How easy is it to switch the blank with the plug? And also how easy is it to get wires ran back to where the plug is?

    define easy???? its not as simple as making a peanut butter sandwich... but its not as hard as swapping out suspension either.... I would say right up there with swapping out your stock radio... gotta take some things loose and remove some other things and then begin removing a layer or so of skin off a few knuckles and then you are pretty much done.

    several ways of popping out the blanks: Push them out from behind by taking out the ac controls, removing everything, drilling one and pulling it out or prying it from a corner (can mess up plastic around the switch)

    Getting wires back there is easy once you have the blank out. I removed the driver knee panel and fished the wires from the blank to under the steering wheel.
