What function can it be used for, the idle button place - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I might do garage door opener instead of getting homelink mirror/visor.

You could install the button used with the auto transmission and connect it to an e-cutout on the exhaust.

I actually took the panel apart and checked what it's like. The pictures are back home, so I can't upload them.

The "panel" that's there is actually a rocker switch. After shaving off 4 small bits, the switch rocks forward and backward. As of now, there is no resistance to the switch.

However, the circuit board below is already setup for a switch pushing forward and backward. What's missing? Well, it needs 2 push pins to connect the rocker to the contact pads. It also needs the PCB pins and the connector pins. I plan to check my stock of connector pins in a week when the car is torn apart.

In the end, once all the correct parts are sourced, it will be very easy to make that rocker switch control whatever you want. Garage remote. Radar Detector Mute. Ejector Seat.

Interesting... Of course, since I have the 6AT mine is already occupied. I'd definitely do the garage door there otherwise.

The ejector seat would really be my first option, but that might be a little tough on the roof.

that button is reserved for NAAWS...

Points for those who can guess what that one is.

I'm developing an aftermarket part for the car that will have a button installed in that space that will make the car run 90% quieter.

When you push the button, she stops talking.

I know I know.. bad joke.

Would be nice for that. The electric bottle opener, or a purge.

I read this and my first thought was, "let's not be opening beer in the car, dude". I think I've had enough beer for today...

I think I like the james bond ideas...maybe the little spiked jacks that puncture tires for people that like to tailgate.
