update:
1: fob for switches worked great
2: I have vintage air so the kick panel vents are sealed off… sooooooo, I used the lever hole that used to open/close the vent and installed a 10k POT for the dimmer on the Dakota digital.
That’s where mine had been, I had it even for a while in the ashtray, then last night I just had this come to god moment and this morning measured, and it’s an exact fit to the lighter, I had a spare base I used and kept my good one if I want to switch back. But works great.
