Default Any way to make this work?

I just bought a nitrous kit and was kind of planning out how I want to set it up. I was thinking of where I want the arming switch and purge button and thought itd be cool to have the purge button hooked up on one of the "buttons" near the cigarette lighter. The "buttons" I'm talking about are the ones on the left and right of the cigarette lighter, where the middle right one is the emergency blinkers and the rest seem unpushable. Has anyone tried using the left middle one as a button? And if so how did you hook it up? thanks

Those dead buttons you're talking about pop out, you can drill one out and mount a switch there. It'll be easier to take off that whole piece around the radio.

making the dead button actually function would be darn difficult. There are springs and making it an actually button would be far to much hassle. It would be easier to install switches right over them

I'm guessing that the 6'ers don't have all the functions of the GT and so in some of these switch positions are removable blanks ??
In this case, surely you could buy & fit one of these switches from the Stealership and simply wire it up to whatever you desire ?

Yes, us sixxers with TCS only have the right 3 buttons occupied.
