Any NEW ideas for the Dummy Switches in the Sport Package?
I'm still looking for something to replace the awful dummy switches in my 2013 370 w/sport pkg. I'm thinking a USB port for one but still not sure about the others.... Also, Has anyone seen a console replacement with 2 cup holders?

on my Z, im using some oem style rockers a member here found. check the interior section.
one for interior lamp, one for dvd bypass, one for rear fog. not sure if you want to put a usb port facing up. one spill or drop of water and your fuse will blow. |

I had a hell of a time finding a USB port that I can properly wire to handle 12V and at least 2.3 amps I pretty much have given up at this point
But yes, I would putting them face up. Who allows food and beverage in their Z anyway? A fuse is cheap to replace

Really do wish there was a USB port on this car, one that I wouldn't had to have paid $6k extra to get.
Guess I'm going to have to wait until I can get a 2DIN HU compatible with the iPhone 5. There's this option for the dummy slots, which I'll be doing soon I think. Getting annoyed with my radar detector cord blocking my clock... |

We went from the best performance value in 09, to one of the worst buys right now for the money. not because z's are bad now in performance or reliability... It's still a high performing,reliable sports car... But by 2012, so many cars caught up in the driving excitement department and also found ways to massively upgrade their cars features and interiors along with improved performance. We basically have new front, shocks and redesigned wheels. Oh and red paint on the brakes. Whoopyyyyyy!!! Yet prices strangely have gone up slightly over $3,000. I'm glad I bought a Z in 2011. Current Z prices today are laughable. 2011 was bordering ridiculous but I dealed $3,000 off my car. wish I hadn't wrecked my 09... That was an even better deal. |

How about a switch for the rear hatch?
Most cars have it so why not a switch for the rear hatch. Should be easy to find the circuit. Just a thought.
