    I do like the look of these, but with all the "must have" stuff I find on this site, I'm going to have to start a "must have - must haves" list.

    Got my @MESO puddle pod kit on Thursday, tried to do install on Friday but noticed I receive two right side pods, already emailed support, just waiting for response.

    After modifying the v1 t harness, puddles doesn’t work. @MESO Maybe somebody can shed some light? Pictured below is what I cut and soldered. Did I snip and solder the correct wires?507D807C-5136-438C-BEC1-4C08E02ED30A.jpgA2162D6C-8A2C-44AB-A89B-3FA286D58E1A.jpg

    Nice! Thanks for reply, I just wanted to know if there was any interference with the actuator but your videos were helpful. Clean taco by the way.

    I've read through a good part of this thread, both before and after ordering the pods & switch. Switch came last week from @MESO, pods shipped from @runnin4tacos yesterday. Went out to "preplan" this evening and realized I think I'm the only shmuck that doesn't have a small switch blank available...?
    Anyone else have this "problem"?
    Relatively new to this and sent a note to MESO, but if I can get some help from the community and give him some more time to make cool stuff, that'd be ideal!
    Pics included of my current setup...

    Easiest, and cheapest thing for you to do would be to get a shapeways center panel for your overhead console. It turns one switch hole into two. It just pops out and pops in. No cutting required

    Some have been taking the BSM Switch and storing it behind the panel since they leave it on all the time. Quick & easy.

    This is a fun way to free up a switch: https://mesocustoms.com/collections/toyota-tacoma-3rd-gen/products/stealth-pro-shift-knob

    OR

    you could get the MESO shifter hook the ECT to the "Left" button which would eliminate the ECT button so you could replace it with the puddle switch. Plus you have the option of making another replacement with the "Right" clicker on the shift knob for another addition in the future.

    Does anyone use the Qi charger?
    It's sooo slow.
    Maybe just get a new left side cubby plate.
