What to do with the three "non-functional" buttons in the center console

The middle switch is for functional rear fog light and outer switches are seat heaters (dummy). I got tired of people asking me why there are blank switches . So,

Just FYI the rear fog light switch on the Canadian models is on the stalk switch by your headlights. There is a blank between the two heated seat (all Canadian cars are Touring) switches.

Looks great AK370Z - exactly what I'd do with a base model if I didn't have any other use for the switches...

.... good place for a fake alarm LED as well - always a deterant.

with one, i am thinking about adding in the fog light, but how about the other two? not because i like the fog light, but to make use of the buttons on the center console.....

any ideas or suggestions?

has anyone tried aftermarket heated seats?
if you're like me and haven't added an aftermarket audio system with bluetooth yet, i recommend this parrot kit. it fits nicely in the blank switch housing and works well. mic is mounted in the ceiling next to the mirror and the sound comes through the stereo speakers.







i haven't gotten around to re-installing it and lowering it further into the switch bay but it still looks clean.

That is my plan for 2 of the buttons. I just need to come up with a third button idea. Maybe a kill switch of sorts. Possibly something for amp cutoff or something. And use all Fog Light buttons so that only people in the know have a grip on what is actually going on there.

I was thinking about mounting the Tein EDFC control unit there, but I'm not sure if it'll fit.

Do you have a part number/source for that switch? I've been looking for a safety switch like that for mine as well, but I've had trouble finding something that would fit.

If you have 'friends' in the military, they are pretty common!
