Willie (sp?) I think his name is onThe Mustang Source mounted a few switches in his overhead console. I might do that because I think it looks pretty good.

Another place I'm thinking about are the two side panels (on the front edge) on either side of the center console. There's room for a couple switches on each side.

Overhead console would work, as long as you do not have the active alarm. It kinda cramps the room. If no, then I think that is do-able....

He got those switches in there! Stuffed some rocker switches along the front edge. I'll try and find the picture of it.

If you dont have the IUP your blank buttons are jus dead panels right now, but you can get actual functional buttons from a dealer, then you can wire anything you want to work off of those buttons. Im thinking about doing that for my subs, dont really want all that bass all the time, and having the buttons engraved or somethin like that if i cand find someone to do it. Also ask rygen (in the v6 forums) to see his switch setup, his is awesome, took out the buttons im talkin about, and put some sort of toggle switches in its place.

I was able to find the picture of the overhead console I was talking about:

Now I'm tempted to try the same thing!

If you just need one for a sub switch, there is a little removable plastic panel in the center console that works great for a switch. That's where mine is mounted for my subs.
