Center Coin Slot Replacement?
 
I just bought a Hyper.Blue Series (2016) BRZ last month and ive done a good amount of upgrading to it already, but the only thing i hate about the car is the little slot to the right of the push to start? does anyone know of anything or of anyone selling a product that fits in that slot to make it serve a purpose? I've seen the switches before but i havent seen anyone selling them, seeing as though most were custom made. Any help please!! I am taking it up to boxerfest in PA in a couple weeks and want to find something to fit there!

I remolded mine to fit a scangauge ii. And then my butterfingers shattered the LCD right before assembling it.

Boxer fest you say?
Dude, it's to hold your vape. I thought every hipster knew that.

I bought 3 cupholders and zip tied them to my A pillar to hold my vapes ;)

Someone in these forums is laser printing a switch block to fill that small cubbie hole.

There's someone on here who makes a replacement with toggle switches. They don't need to be hooked to anything to look neat

why? 06-06-2019 01:49 PM

The best mod I've seen is moving the push button start behind the traction control buttons and making that entire space open.

I believe you guys are referring to the switch panel inserts I've been selling. I've sold over 150 of them... though only ONE has been through someone on this forum; the rest have been through other forms of Social Media (mainly Facebook.) To quote my blurb on those pages:

"Most of you are familiar with these by now. It's a plastic chassis with four ON/OFF SPST toggle switches. They have a red status LED on the tip, and are rated for 12V @ 30A. I make inserts in sizes to fit both push start and NON push start vehicles. I also sell blank inserts for people who want to drill their own holes and mount their own switches (or anything else that would fit).

People have used this to control everything from Pedal Dance, to Radiator Fans, to Dashcams, to Radar Detectors, to Trailer Harnesses, to Driving Lights, to Underglow, to Air Compressors, to Active Exhaust, to Subwoofers, to Air Horns, etc..."


It's an insert that is designed to specifically fit the two style pockets on push start and key start vehicles. It slots right in, and is designed to be firmly wedged into place. Wiring is pretty easy: you just drill a hole in the back of the pocket to run wires. And yes, I've had some folks buy them, and only wire them so they light up, lol.

I have a separate post on this forum detailing a larger project, including how I wired mine up. Note those photos were of a rudimentary prototype panel, and are not the 3D-printed version I sell now: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127427

Here are some photos of what I sell, including quite a few photos sent to me by folks who have bought them:

I wondered the same thing until I got an electric garage, now it is clear it is the cubby for the garage door opener

I upgraded to a frameless, auto-dimming mirror with Homelink. I hated having that as a separate thing in the car, lol. Besides, anything you put in there, especially a garage door opener clicky thing, just falls out any time you go near the throttle, even in our slow-ass cars!

Yeah that's a cool upgrade, I live in an apartment so I couldn't upgrade to something like that just yet. My clicky garage remote is actually really thin so that tiny lip seems to do a good job of keeping it in that cubby even under hard acceleration. Most anything else I put in there that is wider than that little lip just goes flying into the shifter then into the drivers footwell which is not pleasant.
