Tight integration. I'm impressed. Sadly, I have a sunroof toggle in that position, but maybe I could do it elsewhere... |
That is a very good job, indeed. You can be proud of that.
|
Wow, nice job. Looks perfect.
|
Great mod! Id like to do this mod but Im curious if theres anywhere to source the stock switch itself for a totally stock look...? Every diagram I have checked shows the overhead switch console but that is as far as it breaks it down.
|
I'm fairly sure you would need to order the the whole switch assembly that has the sunroof switch, as far as I know the switches themselves aren't sold separately... under the switch are rubber pressure contacts, in the past I have messed around with something similar only to find that the contacts won't work to carry current, but will only send a signal to a chip which in turn activates the circuit....
|
WMW has a used switch panel for $40 from a cabrio, I was considering giving it a shot, but it probably won't match anyway even it would work
|
Great job!. All my switches are taken at the top, but has anyone tried to use or know where to find a momentary switch for the lower buttons on the dash. Where the sport and fog light buttons are located. This would be the ideal spot if i can keep it looking somewhat factory.
Has anyone ever tried to order or install the factory autodimming mirror? Cost? or one of the aftermaket mirror brands? Might be hard to find one the same style or shape. |
I have the middle space open for a switch, where can I order a switch with the transmitter brain? Never mind I see it on the PDF.

Sorry, could you repost the PDF file? For some reason it keeps sending me to iCloud and won't let me open the link.

Thanks! This mod is amazing.

Has anyone used a device called 'Flash2Pass' integrated garage door opener? I saw it posted on MiniMania. It's a device that allows you to remotely open the garage door by flashing your bright lights twice. $99 and it claims quick and easy do-it-yourself installation.
Any comments or suggestions regarding it? Thanks! |

Fantastic. This is great. I really appreciate this. Thanks! I know what I'll be doing next weekend...
|
Very cool idea; wondering if there's somewhere in that module that you could use for power and remove the need for the battery.
