Switch panel in overhead sunglass holder

Does anyone make a switch panel for the 3rd gen overhead console like this one?



I searched all over and couldnt find anything for the 3rd gen which surprised me cause its a popular option on the 2nd gens. Not a fan of the option to mount a switch pro inside, I prefer the bank of rocker switches.

Any help is appreciated

 

Ask @MESO, he can do it if he hasn’t done it already.

 

Here ya go, Meso to the rescue once again. Looks like you're lucky, it's actually in stock!

 

Thanks but that panel goes between the map lights and sunglass holder so not what Im looking for plus it won't work on my truck cause I have a sunroof and the switches for that are in the way

 

Sounds like you'll have to be the one to make it then!

 

How do you make these panels? Anyone ever dremel them out? Does anyone know the removal procedure for the overhead unit? I have a 2018 TRD sport with sunroof and a blank panel between the sunglasses holder and the map lights that seems like the perfect spot to add 3 or 4 auxillary light switches. I really need more switches for the LED lightbars I've added.

 

I would like to see how you run the wires up to the sunglasses holder

 

Would most likely go up the A Pillars

 

right, but would you have to pop the headliner down by the windshield to get it to where you can run the wires to the center of the roof?

 

In my 2nd Gen I ran wires to the rearview mirror and was able to get it in the front of the headliner without lowering it, not sure if these ones are different.

 

Just as shakerhood said, you can tuck the wires above the front of the headliner without removing it. Careful running your wires up the a pillar, be sure to secure them away from the airbag.

 

Anyone know how to remove center switch plate from over head panel?

 

Yank it. Takes direct intentional force.

 

I'm referring to the small center switch plate within the center console. I already have the console out.

 

Oh. Pretty sure it has to be cut out then. Don't quote me though.

 

There are four tabs on the back. I used a small screwdriver. Mine is an SR, so not sure if yours is different, but there was a hole I could see the tabs through

 

I think I've got it. There's 2 clips I have to push in.. Using a super thin panel remover.

 

I can get you a photo of it if you need. But I think you can see the tabs from behind.

 

Thanks! I got it removed without breaking anything! Now to add the front locker switch. hopefully I get the wiring correct.

 

Any update?
