Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys, I have two blank dummy buttons in my horseshoe center console which I want to replace with something useful... The first one I decided to replace with the in-dash spoiler switch like in the 996 turbo, but I need help with what to do with the last one.... see pic.

POST 2Original post

Flame thrower for slow left lane drivers. Huge spiked boxing glove hidden in the rear quarter panel for people who ride in my blind spot. Missile launcher for Q-tips who drive slow in any lane. Missile launcher for people who pull out across multiple lanes, with optional nuclear detonators for people who do it with a cell phone in one hand and a doughnut in the other hand. Oil slick releaser for tailgaters. Optional bucket of nails for people who do it with their high beams on. Cheers, -- Mike

Wow, wonder when this thread went south....oh yeah the first post. Asking us what to suggest...like asking a kid does he want peas or candy, no what, nothing like that at all. Damn, it's time for my meds.

POST 24Original post

You can go kink of crazy with the tip switches. On the left side of the horseshoe I have the standard PSM switch, a spoiler switch and a interior footwell light switch modified to toggle the ODC and to light up when the spoiler is in the up position. One the right side I have the rear defroster switch, the cab top switch and the central locking switch (all standard, at least for a cab). On the bat wing I have the two heated seat switches (added factory heated switches as a DIY) and PSE switch and a Footwell light switch for turning on the aux fans. The garage door mod is nice but I prefer the "Flash 2 Pass" ( http://www.f2ptechnologies.com/category/200/ ) which uses a double flash of the brights so I have the other functions. No shortage of options!

POST 25Original post

I hate the blank buttons too. I have an in-dash spoiler switch, which is relatively useless, and the in-dash garage door button. The garage door button is my second favorite mod of all time. I use it every day Garage Door Button DIY: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...or-opener-diy/ But, I still have room for one more (btw, my favorite mod is the FisterD/PSE muffler hack)

POST 26Original post

Doug- Sweet geebus you have more buttons than Batman! I like the garage flasher.....need to look at that.

POST 28Original post

This is kind of interesting. It would be better if it also controlled the spoiler, but it just indicates the status. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/spoil...mZ260743122847

POST 29 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for all good suggestions guys! It's gonna be hard choosing one...

POST 30Original post

Here is a DIY for the garage door mod I did in my 996 Turbo. LINK

POST 31Original post

I think one of these empty buttons is for spoiler. This is good choice i think. I am thinking to make these mods. but i dont have any idea for the other buttons.

POST 32Original post

I'm assuming just buying the switch and putting in place is not an option. How much wiring is involved with all these switches?

Very welcome! I love my garage door mod. Looks like an actual garage door on the switch and something that was factory delivered
