Pros: Switches are easy to see/reach, removes two blanks as only 3 of the 6 are in use currently.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm getting the parts together for my heated seats install on the 996 and am now faced with 3 options for the switches. Would appreciate your thoughts:
1: Factory location, in the 'batwing" in front of the gearstick.
Pros: factory location.
Cons: awkward to reach/passenger has to reach behind gearstick.
2: In the 'Horseshoe" either side of the radio.
Pros: Switches are easy to see/reach, removes two blanks as only 3 of the 6 are in use currently.
Cons: The driver's side switch is obscured by the steering wheel, not factory location.
3: In the centre console behind the window switches, where they are in a 986 Boxster.
Pros: easy to get to/see, removes the 2 blanks there for the cabriolet rear windows.
Cons: not factory location.
The switches for option 1 & 2 are the same but option 3 switches are a different orientation so I need to decide upfront.
Batwing - I have them and can't say I've ever thought "I wish they were more easily accessible" nor has my wife ever complained at having to reach behind my knob... :lol:
many of us are not a fan of blank switches, a weakness of 996 and 991 interiors
Fill those blanks in :thumb:
Option 3 as its filling the blanks right in that centre console
I went for option 2 in my car (after switching the central locking switch to the right hand side of the horseshoe)
- if your backside starts getting unduly warm, just glance around the edge of the steering wheel to see if your passenger thinks they're some kind of comedian.....! :x
