3D Printed Switch Panel for Sunglasses Holder
Order Information:
Color Options:- Black Plastic: [$40 Shipped to Continental US]
- Tan Plastic: [$40 Shipped to Continental US]
Here's some basic info:- You will receive one mounting bracket and one low-profile switch panel (both 3D printed in ABS), along with 2 M3x20 machine screws and 2 M3 nuts
- Installation will require some permanent modification to the sunglasses holder (full instructions below)
- For now, I am only offering two options: A standard 4-switch panel constructed of black or tan ABS. Additional colors (gray and more) and configurations ("blank DIY" and "SPOD") will be added shortly
- The switches to be used are the Contura-V series. If you find that other Carling switches are compatible, please let me know
Installation Instructions:- Remove map light console from headliner
- Remove the damper roller and coil spring from the outer side of the sunglasses door
- Remove the sunglasses holder door from its pivots either by popping it out or drilling out its studs
- Pop out the rubber bump stops in the open sunglasses holder area
- Wire up the switches on the switch panel
- Place the switch panel in the sunglasses holder, popping the rearward protrusions into the pivot holes one at a time
- Use the supplied M3 Bolts (x2) and M3 nuts (x2) to bolt the frontward portion into the bump stop holes mentioned earlier
- For easier removal, epoxy the nuts to the backside of the sunglasses housing. This should allow for the removal of the switch panel without taking out the whole map light console.
- If more clearance is needed for your wiring and connectors, cut-away some of the upper housing (black plastic) with a rotary tool. Be mindful not to cut away the mounting holes.

I have been working on an easily installable rocker switch panel for the sunglasses holder location in our 4th gens. I have seen some custom approaches to this project, but I wanted to offer a more drop-in solution.
@ momo.75
has been very helpful with this project, so it should be in its final stages very soon.

That seems awesome! I had ideas of doing a custom project down the road. After your cup holder though, I'd gladly pick one of these up!

Do those SPOD units just have two mounting studs on the back? If so, I should be able to adapt the design easily.
