Switches for extra lighting

Are auxiliary switches available for the stock lower switch pod? My Jeep doesn't have heated seats and it would be nice to be able to use those two capped-off spots if I end up adding accessories.

I'm dabbling with setting up switches that are activated by an iPhone using a headless raspberry Pi and wifi. The hardware to put it together is cheap, but the programming piece is gonna take some learning still. If I ever manage to get it breadboarded up, I'll start posting for real. The great part about this would be no physical switches in the car.

I don't believe so. However, years ago someone did take that out and rebuild it. There is a circuit board back there that makes a simple plug and play impossible. There's no room to just install a switch from wherever.

Ive got a lot of the parts to make it run.. But Im gonna need to teach myself some python coding.. Once I have something worth showing for real, i will start the build thread. Im hoping I can get some programming smart people to join in on the coding to make it go faster. Option 2 instead of running headless on iphone/ipad would be to put a small touch screen somewhere in the vehicle. The poster above with his switch panel made me think that a small 4" touch panel above the rear view mirror running XBMC would be pretty slick depending on how its integrated. And furthermore, i could integrate a rear view camera/front view recording camera into it as well.. But one step at a time.. Goal 1 is headless pi running rock lights and some auxiliary lighting
