I recently got a 2006 Prius and I love it! So far I've changed around some electric stuff (reverse beep, key fobs) and repaired a broken door lock actuator. Besides repairing, I want to get into modding, so I thought I'd start with this because it seems easy and I have all the parts on hand. The problem is that I can't get past having a switch on my dashboard, so I want to put it in one of the empty pads to the left of the steering wheel (where the dashboard dimmer dial is). Does anyone with experience know how I could wire it there? I don't want to go blindly taking parts off, so just knowing if it's possible would be great. Thanks!
the dash comes apart very easy with a plastic wedge and a Phillips, so it will be no problem to put your switch in. there are dash disassembly vids on you tube to help.
I finished! Around 5 hours total and 2 trips to Radioshack, but the switch works perfectly and it's in a good place. I did have to end up taking apart the whole dash though...
