Default 2012 and later Button option

My project for the this last weekend. Trying to figure out where to put a button pod without drilling into the dash. For us JK Sport owners, with no power windows we have wasted space right between the center vents. Perfect place for a set a switches, and perfect removable option. The center cubby pops out from the back by pressing down then out. I didn't like cutting it apart, but it had to be done. You can use whatever you have to make the button plate, I used an old stay fresh cereal container, cut it, drilled the holes, formed it to the rounded cubby, painted it with truck bed liner, inserted my super bright leds switches, and krazy glued it to the cut down cubby (might have to epoxy if it doesn't hold), and done. I didn't get any in progress pics, I always forget to do that for a proper write up. If there is any questions about the process, just ask, I'll be happy help where I can.

Look inside the air vent. At the top or bottom there is a hole. Rotate the vent so the whole is just passed 12oclock. There is a corresponding whole you won't see till they are aligned. Stick a small screwdriver in the whole and push the handle downward and turn the ac bevel top to the left. Good luck

Great idea! Short of using the main panel rocker switches, best solution yet.
