Switches overhead console

[EmergencyMangement]

Yes....I feel bad for asking, but my new 4Runner hasn't arrived yet.
Anyhow, there are apparently 3 switches in the overhead console, labeled 1, 2, 3.

1. Are these used for anything?
2. Are these momentary or latching on/off style?

If they are latching, this would literally make my emergency lighting/siren install so much easier and nicer. Be even better if they lit

JATO assist for hill climbs.

Fire rockets in sequence, 1,2,3, or you'll go end over end.

I'm pretty sure those are the Homelink buttons.

Homelink buttons,

Unless you PRESS AND HOLD, then they fire rockets in proper sequence.

For a rush press all three at the same time :rockon:

Did someone say light switches on the overhead console?

Switch Pro.

 

[raycie]

Anyone fab up a insert so that area could actually be used to house some actual switches??

 

[FrontRange4Runner]

It will come with a secret code that you must enter before the engine will start. Mine is 13232.

All kidding aside, they are for garages and gates. You will quickly become annoyed that Toyota put a light in every switch except the one you will likely use an a daily basis.

This could be a rabbit hole, but seriously??? No link to an awesome build? No link to who makes that?

...looks good though...

Ha! Just snort-laughed at work reading these.

Would be cool to change the homelink buttons to do other things

Switch plate otrattw sells fits the sunglass holder on sr5/limited models, holds 6 carling v series switches. Someone posted on here recently with it and I'm considering it myself.

I'm not great at build threads, i have one somewhere, but hasn't been updated. This here is the Switch Pro from Switch Pros - Home It's a solid state relay, each up to 15 watts with the last one rated to 30 watts, and just a couple wires running through the firewall. then up the A pillar to the overhead console. It runs on blue tooth if you want to be totally wireless, I have the app on my phone and ipad, so can run the lights from outside of the car if I was feeling frisky, the s-pod has that too, but it costs extra putting the total cost to about the same as the Switch Pro, but again with a bunch of big switches.

I looked into the S-pod, with all the big switches, but I didn't have a place that I wanted a bunch of switches without loosing a cup holder or making a lot of holes. Worth noting, I have a trail, so didn't have a sunglasses holder where the crawl control bits are. Plus these buttons are programmable for ON, Intermittent, and Fast strobe. Also a all on/off function, on with battery, constant, and all off. The panel is backlite and changes when i turn on or off my headlights. But the selling point for me was how small the buttons and control was. Reminds me of our lifeguard trucks.

Install was pretty easy, hard part is wiring the lights!

 

[Miguelon]

Pretty sure they control the Supercharger that comes standard with all 2016 4Runners

You can't threaten me with a good time, or great idea!

I have a trail so no sunglass holder. But if the home link buttons were the same size as the other factory push buttons, then the AOB push button switches could be used.
