Did you remove the empty switch? I want to look at the back of the switch. Maybe I can make something.I was really excited for the M2V2 since I use a QuadLock/Ram mount combo on my motorcycles and other vehicles. However, I then remembered that the 2003+ LXs have a solid wood trim piece and I can't use the M2V2
Any creative plans for adapting a Ram 1" ball mount in the 2003+ LX's that retain the AHC controller? Maybe in one of the empty switch positions or in the ash tray?

The same switch mechanism exists behind the block off plate. It pushes in and out.

3 Fabrication
The face plate is printed using chopped carbon-fiber nylon. It has a matte black surface finish. No painting/sanding/prepping is needed.
The backing bracket is printed with ABS.
This is the first project that I cooperated with @suprarx7nut utilizing his fantastic Markforged printer. The chopped carbon-fiber nylon has very high stiffness and high toughness compared to ABS I used on most of my makes.

Ben,
Looks like you've sold out of the M2V2 on eBay. If you can let me know when there are more available.
Thanks in advance & best regards.

Ben,Timothy,
The first batch was sold out. I and @suprarx7nut want to hold the production and wait for the feedbacks. If any modification is needed, we will make the change on second batch.
It may block the rear view. I can send you both versions and you keep the version that works for you.Ben,
Thanks for the lightening quick reply. I look forward to the next M2V2 run.
I also have a question about the updated version of the overhead 6 switch mount. I like the thought/fact that the switches seem more visible and accessible, but, I'm am 6'4" and based on a couple of the photos you've posted, I'm afraid that the new version might block the rear view. Is that the case?
Ben,It may block the rear view. I can send you both versions and you keep the version that works for you.
Just got my tracking info. I'm psyched to get it installed.@suprarx7nut made beautiful face plates.
