Relocate the switches or do you just delete them and no more bun warmers?

Szpet, thanks for the pics. Looks like the same size switches.
Did you have to splice a harness extension or did it wrap far enough back?

Yes, they fitted perfect in the holes. The cables were to short and I didn`t want to cut anything. So I just made them longer with connectors that I can take off when I want to go back to stock.

Sorry my english is to bad to explain exactly but I can try to find a picture.

I will check on my other computer tomorrow but here is a picture of the connectors I used:



I don`t remember the exact size of them but if you take out one button you will see what size.

man that looks like a clean install. Why do you guys remove the center console? I personnaly think it doesn't look all that great, it looks even less sporty than the factory boring interior.

I did it becuse I needed the extra space for my legs. I also bought a smaller steeringwheel and a longer steeringhub.

Wow, you bought the hub too. You're my hero.

I went for a 340mm steeringwheel and hub from Techart.
Will install it this week. Really can`t wait to try how my legs will fit in.

Me too - the console delete seems straightforward, but not sure how to tackle the heated seat button relocation.
