Is it possible if I source a switch and run some wires through the dash.

Would make it a lot easier to use rather than stretching down to my feet.
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.

Has anyone attempted to move the switch in the drivers footwell for the rear spoiler operation (996) to say one of the spare slots in the centre console? Is it possible if I source a switch and run some wires through the dash. Would make it a lot easier to use rather than stretching down to my feet.
Has anyone got a spare switch for me to try?

I have seen the switches on ebay before - wouldn't know how to do the wiring though - I think there was a thread on this a while ago. You may be able to find it.

had an idea about this yesterday...why not utilise the headlight adjustment switch to the right of the steering wheel?
I've never needed to adjust the pitch of the lights on any car i've had and i'm never likely to tow anything.
Don't know how the wiring would work but i'll have a fiddle at the weekend.

Simple enough to fit. Can say I ever use it though!
