I am stealing this from the previous owner. He said the switch stands for "da compressor" and works great.
This truck now resides in NC and the DAC switch works with the factory 80 series locker switch for ARB's in the 100. They engage/disengage is an instant. The only challenge is having no visual that the lockers are locked or not. I look out the window or wait for the A-TRAC light to flash, when that happens, I pause, and then select the front locker and the 100 goes up any obstacles that it is pointed at to the disbelief of all Jeeper's standing around vaping and counting their light bars.

Regarding my front locker and rear compressor:
I replaced the stock factory rear E-Locker dial (left, lower side of steering wheel) and I used a factory 80 series dial switch that allows the front and rear to lock. Looks totally stock and works very nicely!
I added a small black rocker switch just above the locker switch for my compressor. My compressor is tied into my ignition so even if I leave my compressor on (just juice to it, not pumping) it will turned off when I remove the key. I did that because of any leaking in the air lines, I don't want my compressor constantly coming on and draining my battery. I have ARB's largest compressor and it'll drain my battery in no time!
Somewhere on this site I posted some pic's of what I did.

That's exactly how I'm describing what I did with mine! Except I have a smaller rocker switch for the compressor.
Lots of options at OTRATTW
These Contira XIV are pretty clean looking and you can get several led color options. Green accessory back light with yellow or red on light for example.
But many other switch designs here.
CONTURA XIV, AIR COMPRESSOR, LOWER LED INDEPENDENT

If thats not good enough you can create your own custom Toyota switch:

That's exactly the switch I need to get!! Just don't have time to dink with it now...
I already have a small rocker just above the locker dial (I even have the same 80's dial) for my compressor, but it's a generic rocker switch not a nice one like you have with the graphics.
Does it light up too? What color?
Yes, they light up white, but you can choose any color combo you want. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of them lit up. The switches are wired so the wording lights up with illumination, and the graphics light up when activated. I didn't like that so I soldered the board to make them both light up with illumination. I lived with it for a while, but they were just a tad off color to all the upgraded LED's I installed everywhere else in the LC. A few days ago I decided I'd rather them not light up at all (I've been with her so long my muscle memory hits the spot every time 
).
