2013 370z Nismo.. button question

TK2013 · 12-26-2013, 03:22 PM

So on the 370z Nismo's.. we don't have power seats etc, so their is this small block of 3 fake buttons that's driving me totally crazy lol. Has anyone found any good ideas or mods to swap that out with anything remotely useful? looking for ideas :-)

Man, where to start,
1. Seat heater switches outside left and right.
2. Center switch for the aftermarket OE fog light switch.
3. You could put you radar detector switch there.
4. I've seen guys put a switch there to activate / deactivate their driving bypass circuit on their Navi screen to watch movies while driving.
5. People put switches there for front/rear cameras.

There are a lot more options, you'll have to use search or just lurk for a while to read thru all the existing threads on here.

I'm dying to do this. That mod was so seamless and perfect. I gotta figure out how it works with the new smart cables that have the bluetooth in them, though.

I know, when I saw the base version I thought they should have made another cup holder or at least a flat panel. It's just CRYING for switches. I have seen switches for rear view camera, fog light, parking brake override (to watch DVDs). Of course I'd get my own made with corny descriptions instead. Here are some options:

What to do with the three "non-functional" buttons in the center console

Any NEW ideas for the Dummy Switches in the Sport Package?

I have one switch for fog light, 1 for garage door opener, and the 3rd still to be used.

OH WOW....I have to have some of these things...

I feel like a kid in a candy shop on this site. Do we know if these novelty rockers are a direct swap in? Not talking about the wiring though...just the switch size
