Console Switch Interchangeability
I am tired of accidentally switching on the hazard lights by bumping the switch between the seats and am looking at moving the hazard and central locking switches to the panel below the climate control.
I am wondering if the switch bodies size for the hazard and central locking switches is the same as those for the heated seats? Extending the wiring for the switches wouldn't be an issue. The panel I have now is blank but the heated seat switch panels are available on Ebay complete with switches. I would use the heated seat switches to fill the holes in the panel between the seats, and that would give me a project to do later as heated seats would be nice.

Fits into the oval blank nicely
Just get a 2 hole panel in whatever finish you have, and fit the switches. Here's mine with the temp gauge Last edited by suzublu; 29th March 2020 at 21:21.. |

The plan is to put the heated seat buttons there. I dont have heated seats but it could be a project for later.

There's the rub...I don't have cruise, traction control or a rear blind.
Heated seats are something I wouldn't mind installing in the future but if necessary I could fill in the holes in the domed panel between the seats if the switches won't fit. Does anyone have a heated seat panel in the metallic grey (Rhodium?) finish with switches for sale that they wouldn't mind mailing to Canada?

Incidentally, it could be worth checking if the wiring for the seats are there. However, what might be worth considering is an aftermarket seat heating kit, and then fitting the switches into the centre console by the handbrake.
