Tight integration. I'm impressed. Sadly, I have a sunroof toggle in that position, but maybe I could do it elsewhere...

I'm fairly sure you would need to order the the whole switch assembly that has the sunroof switch, as far as I know the switches themselves aren't sold separately... under the switch are rubber pressure contacts, in the past I have messed around with something similar only to find that the contacts won't work to carry current, but will only send a signal to a chip which in turn activates the circuit....

Great job!. All my switches are taken at the top, but has anyone tried to use or know where to find a momentary switch for the lower buttons on the dash. Where the sport and fog light buttons are located. This would be the ideal spot if i can keep it looking somewhat factory.
Has anyone ever tried to order or install the factory autodimming mirror? Cost? or one of the aftermaket mirror brands? Might be hard to find one the same style or shape.

Has anyone used a device called 'Flash2Pass' integrated garage door opener? I saw it posted on MiniMania. It's a device that allows you to remotely open the garage door by flashing your bright lights twice. $99 and it claims quick and easy do-it-yourself installation.
Any comments or suggestions regarding it?
Thanks!
