    Retrofits into OEM switch locations.

    What are some easy and cheap things you guys are putting into your blank switch locations above your head unit? Be it stock items, or practical aftermarket pieces? I'm bored and want project ideas :)

    Jesse, I have a volt meter from George Graves in one in my m3, and a aux input plug in one in my cab.

      I wonder if a fun-size Snickers would fit in there...

        Red Rocket Labs voltmeter in one, subwoofer control in another for me. You could get one of jaywood's volt meters for sale in another section of this forum.

          Hey Todd, good to hear from ya! Did you get the digital version or the earlier LED bar style one? How does it match the interior lighting at night and in the day?

            I have George's that is the led bar, not the digital version.

            Colour is almost exact, just a bit brighter at night. Perfect during the day.

                That's pretty cool. What kind of power is the USB getting?

                      How did you wire up the aux plug? That looks extremely worthwhile.

                        Thinking of wiring up a switch for my AUX fan, anyone done this?
