Tuffy center console switch installation pics

[alia176]

I'm curious to see what some of you are doing with installing switches in the front of your Tuffy center console. I have two of these seat heater switches that I need to install somewhere, along with other switches that exist in my current OEM center console coin holder slots.

I thought about one of those copycat switch panel things, perhaps Velcro it to the front angular portion of the console. However, the seat heaters have a low and a high setting, which would be an interesting solution for the fake switch pro panel.

Looking on Amazon, seems like the eight switch panel is a tad wider than this 8-in wide console, which means I would have to go with the six switch panel.

Unrelated question but is that cupholder a factory insert? My FJ80 just has a big square recess there with nothing in it

I wonder if it would be possible to install them in the plastic trim of the seat base? Same panel the seat position controls are located on.

I’ve never had power seats so I don’t know what’s behind that panel and if there is room.

I realize this doesn't answer your original question but here is another option out there.
