    ECT Button Relocation, Shift Knob Modification Kit

    $75, return shipping included
    Available at tacomods.com

    Kit includes:

    1) Wiring Harness

    2) Modification of your shift knob (non-TRD see photos)

    This kit will add the ECT button to a convenient location on your shift knob. No more fumbling around looking for the button on the dash when you want to turn it on. Installation is extremely simple and will take around 30 minutes. The only tool you need is something to enlarge the hole in the shift boot bezel (a drill or soldering iron). The wiring harness plugs into the existing ECT button and retains use of the dash button. However, you can choose to remove the dash button to open a spot for something else and the button on the knob will still work.

    As noted, this kit doesn’t include a shift knob. Since you probably already have a knob, it seems like an unnecessary expense to sell you a new knob. You will need to send me yours, I’ll add a button to it and ship it back to you with the wiring harness. Upon ordering, you'll receive an email with the address where you'll need to ship your shift knob.

    Very interested, what's the turnaround time on this? Ohio based if you need a location to better figure. Thanks

    Once I receive the knob, and if I don't have anything going on, I will modify it and have it back in the mail the next day. There will be occasions when I can't do it that quick, but I can't see a scenario that would take longer than 3 days. So with shipping, it's probably 7-10 days.

    Looks good. Could you explain this a little more? "The only tool you need is something to enlarge the hole in the shift boot bezel (a drill or soldering iron)."

    This plastic trim piece will have a small hole already in it. You will need a tool to make it large enough for the wire connector to go through. I used a drill, which will make small plastic chips. A member on here used a soldering iron and he said it worked great.

    Meso shows no stock.

    Would you offer this in DIY version? I'm sure I can modify the shifter myself.

    Glad I found an alternative to spending $200 on a MESO PRO knob

    It's a well thought out setup & the op answers questions & ships quick. Clean look to it, the way it should've came from the factory, you won't regret getting this mod

    Are there any videos/threads on the install? I saw how to assemble the knob but I’m not sure what I’ll have to do as far as wiring/disassembly on the dash

    I’m not seeing it, I just see the video for the button install on the knob itself. Maybe because I’m viewing the mobile site? Can you send me the link?

    Sorry, misunderstood. It's pretty straight forward, search TW for console and lower dash removal. There are some guys with pictures & videos. My signal is kinda spotty where I'm at right now so really hard to pull pics up. But it's just mostly routing the wire, it's plug n play

    Always sold out, never get emailed when it's available, so I don't believe you.

    You said “would you offer this in a DIY version?” on this thread, not MESO’s... lol. I figured you were referring to @Tacowiede’s setup, not the stealth pro kit.
