    Two in the console and one on the dash, plus Qi charging. It's kinda insane. It looks like I might end up putting switches down by the parking brake. Not the cleanest but definitely cheaper.
    Edit:
    Overhead isn't too bad. Annnnddddd it's not available.

    I had to wait a few months till it was available. Give it time and run a temp solution till its on sale again.

    As good as the SwitchPros looks, it still looks aftermarket. I like the look of a stock cockpit. Further, if I do it with "real" switches, there's another mod I might try to figure out. A while back I had a Nissan Frontier, and someone came up with a 4-relay latching system that ran off the high beams. Only when the high beams were on could you use the aftermarket lights.

    Why is this an issue? Well, when I'm coming up on someone from the other direction all lit up, all I have to do is turn the high beams off and all the other aftermarket lights go off. I'm not fumbling for 2, 3, 4 switches while blinding the oncoming driver. (And yes, I only use them off-road.)

    Useless but useful if you take it out to fit three switches

    I ordered this one from Shapeways since Meso was out of stock at the time: https://www.shapeways.com/product/C...utm_medium=email&utm_source=automated-contact

    I tried the CaliRaised LED one first but I didn't like how the switches seemed like they were raised.

    I have 3 switches on the left:

    Then I relocated the USB access from the center dash into the glove box:

    And then I moved around the center to put everything I wanted in there.

    I think I'm going to end up removing the Q button since I never use it and put the switch for the anytime camera there.

    Just use a trim removal tool or a tiny flat head. It just pops out.

    Get a 2nd Gen switch, sell the replaced switch. Get machine shop to cut out the other holes using the center space as a guide.

    Looks like you had the same setup as I do. My concern with the SDHQ replacement for 2016+ is that website shows power window instead of auto headlight. They are different types of switches so I’m wondering if your OEM auto headlight switch fit in that slot?
    Do you have a lower pic? Thank you

    Didn't even notice that, the panel are just switch cutouts with no actual switches, you just pop out the OEM ones and transfer them to the SDHQ mount. Super easy.

    Ok I’m just seeing two different types of switch types. Not sure if the toggle style for the rear window is compatible with a push button type like the auto headlight switch. The one on SDHQ website has a small indent where a window switch should go. Slightly different than the ones I’m seeing in the 9100 threads here on TW. I’m assuming they are compatible but the interior connections look different
