Repurpose SOS Button

colorado.e9x · 09-16-2023, 10:55 PM

*futurama professor voice* good news everyone. I believe I have found a way to repurpose that SOS button and its awesome fighter jet cover.

My current thoughts:
•Remove original button and silicone pad
•Cut a slit through casing for wiring of new button/switch
•Find a way to mount new button/switch (maybe use a part of the old button and some JB weld?)
•Paint SOS cover w/ matte black duplicolor vinyl & fabric spray (perfect match)

What are your thoughts everyone?

Here is the disassembly of the overhead console

I think it'd be nice to hardwire a radar detector or laser jammer onto that button.
If its legal where you're from.

Laser jammer toggle would be sweet. I'm thinking of making it a placement for a mute button on my Uniden

For mirrors without homelink that'd be a pretty cool spot too!
