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

BlackCherryZ · 01-15-2010, 02:23 PM

for those with a base model, i am sure you will agree with me.....

those three "unused buttons" look horrendous......

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?

Left: Rear fog
Center: Heated side mirrors (2009 did not get them)
Right: Unknown
Currently none of them are wired as I am working on other things currently.

Are these ones 2 position switches? Any info on where to buy? Thanks

Where did you buy those switches?

I know this threads a little old. Don't want to beat a dead horse. But has anyone hooked their yaw sensor up to one of these switches. (Completely enable/disable Vdc at the flick of a switch? Or would it be a massive pia?

I am going to put my voice recognition switch into one of them but I haven't figured out exactly how yet. It has a smaller square base and I'm not handy with things like this.

paint the other one over with a happy face or something rofl

How about a flower holder like the VW Bug?

I vote for at least one of them being an Eject button!!!

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.

Like with my Touring, the left and right are heated seats. Now that space in the center isn't all that noticeable but sine its there I might as well hook up the rear fog light to it. If you went with aftermarket heated seats, you could use the buttons out of a touring, for a nice OEM look.

Just a heads up, there is a OEM rear fog light switch.
