Laser Jammer Kill Switch

Is there a button similar to the VSA off button that I could put in one of the two blank locations near my VSA switch (08 FA5)? If not I will probably just drill a hole somewhere and add a rocker switch.

What Jammer do you own and why do you want a kill switch?

And what do you mean by "is there a button"? You can buy all sorts of buttons.

The jammer is a laser interceptor. It is an active jammer unlike the RMR or a detector (already have a V1). It actually emits IR pulses. I want a kill switch as i believe it does not turn itself off like some of them do after a certain amount of time (i believe the laser pro park has this feature). I want a kill switch so that when I am hit with laser: i check to make sure I am doing the posted limit, i can then easily and quickly remove power from the jammer diodes, then the officer can attain my speed as normal.

My question can be simplified to this:
Is there an OEM button similar to the VSA off button that could be put in place of one of the empty blanks to either side of my vsa button? If there is, I would like to use it. If not, I realize i have a number of other options (a simple rocker switch would make me happy, but would not look as good as an OEM switch). I assume, I could buy a replacement OEM VSA switch and remove the lettering?

wow, im very envious...

personally I would mount it under here



but you could probably pick up a fog light switch and just use that, you could even wire it so the light would turn on when the jammer was active...

personally I would put it where I highlighted in the picture because that part is easy to replace and drilling a hole in it for a small rocker is nice...

Also the bin below the stereo isnt bad, there is a plastic piece you can get from honda for like $5 if you ever decide to replace it...

You also may find a heated mirror switch you could put in there?

dunno, Goodluck and im envious, I want one!

edit: fog light will be lit but lit all the time vs when they are on...

heres pic, it is 3 wires, so im guessing it works with dimming function......
