Aux buttons

[caladin]

I've chased down aftermarket engine compartment jumpers for enabling 3rd party aux buttons

Has anyone chased down pigtails that connect to the harness under the dash connecting factory harness to the aftermarket buttons?

Thanks,

some models also come with aux buttons/harnesses, which you probably already know

I'll try to start putting a post together once I have, a solution I'm not embarrassed by.

THey have lots of 22.8 or 23 mm square buttons on ali express. THese ahve been used in 4th gen tacos and other similar toyotas in the past.

I spent forver digging through them looking for dual USB ports that fit there too, both with and without a digital volt meter.
(MY plan is to fab a dual battery setup in the Taco , i adore dual batteries and a smart controller, as I have in my 60.)
I'm sharing the links here in case anyone cares.

They also have dual buttons in both latching and momentary

and blank buttons you can laser etch whatever you want on.

I bought way to many buttons, so i can see which i like best.

If you just want to get your feet wet, they sell them on Amazon in a much more limited selection.

I have a couple of these and will use them for my rear-facing light bars.
(In my 02 Tundra, the tint + the camper glass makes to too dark to see out at night, so rear facinf square LED pods make life alot easier)

Ordered these from Amazon to hook up using the existing harness to rear bumper. they look remarkably like the toyota ones, even down to teh color card in the package..

Normally I'd just buy the OEM Toyota part, but I'm not sure I'm going to get it all working yet, so I'm using cheap parts to get a proof of concept working.

Hope it helps somebody

I take it you have not seen the options from CaliRaised.

I've seen them;

Caliraised has them, and another vendor sells the same buttons about 25% cheaper, plus about 4 options on Amazon, available through Prime.

I ordered the ones from Amazon because they got here cheaper and faster.
I'm trying to use the OEM aux harness, but I have no wiring diagram, so it'll take a bit of multimeter work.

Also, more to the point, CaliRaised doesn't carry the 2xUSB port or the 2xUSB port plus voltmeter or blank & dual momentary buttons I wanted (I own a laser to etch them myself).

I had to go searching on AliExpress to find All the options I'd seen in a 4th gen FB group.

Since I was deep in the weeds, I thought I'd save other folks the effort of duplicating that effort.
You complained about lack of content on this, and I was trying to help.

Unfortunately, it sounds like at my current energy level, I'm annoying y'all in the process, which frankly makes the lack of traffic here a lot more logical.
I apologize for creating content you feel is beneath you.

I'll only post on Facebook groups from now on.
