There is plenty of room on the easily removed plastic plate on the center part of your dash, just in front of the shifter.

Those are already filled with axle lock, sway bar disconnect, ESP Off and other buttons that came with my jeep...

i put mine (and a lot of other dudes did too) to the left of the wheel, above the speaker. A big plus for that is that it's really easy to get to, and to get wires to.

I think he means in that big blank plastic area below where the current buttons are located.

Yes. Or, I've seen some threads where people have installed an entire switch array in that area. I don't remember what it was called, but it allows you to add 4 or 5 switches all at once, and only cut one new hole.
