Okay, well... I finally got around to doing this mod. Well... sort of.

I didnt reall ALL the pages to see if anyone had a similar issue. But here goes...

To anyone doing this mod... be wary of bending the 'nipples' of the Button too much. Im a novice when it comes to electrical wiring and soldering, etc (this was my first time). All was well until i went to secure everything down and install it back in my car. When I was securing it, i bent the red wires to get it to lay flat and in doing so, tugged a bit on the 'nipples' of the button. When I did this, the 'nipples' broke off. So, now I need a new button.

So yea, dont bend and pry the buttons 'nipples' too much!

happy modding!

Ill post pics when I get it done. Im putting my button in the roof of the coin tray (below to the left of steering wheel)
