Most of those are good for charging small PEDs, but I have a couple of devices that require USB power to run (like a small external hard drive). I need MOAR POWAH!

I thought that label translates into: Made in China

Instead of replacing the dummy switches with functional ones I'd like to replace that trim piece with a shallow coin/misc item holder. Has anyone thought about fabricating something up to fit in that area? Does that trim piece with the dummy switches come out by itself?

yah, just pull up from the cup holder area and the entire piece pops out.
then there are screws on the bottom for the switch trim.

Yup, that's exactly what I would like to do with those switches. I searched the internet for something, but didn't see anything. Let me know if you see/hear about something.

Dummy switches

1. Nitrous switches. (Make sure you also buy nitrous kit.)
2. You can convert your base seats to have heated seating.
3.install a forward or bottom foglight/LED light kit and put the switches
4. You can rig an oil slick if you get chased by police... slip and slide party? lol
5. Switches for forward mounted guns
6. Add switch for radar to track EC2's with that satellite tracking chit and frogmen.

7. Wire the fog lamp





Ive seen someone on the forum putting a couple of switches inside the cubby of the armrest. Looked pretty cool, very low profile, and had much more than 3 switches. Ive also seen(for base models only) someone put the 12v outlet in the the dummy button where the rev match button is located. You can prob find that one on the DIY section.

Or maybe fab up a smartphone dock there, like something you could plug your iPhone into where it's already hooked up to the HU.
