NOW I WANT AUX SWITCHS DILEMMA - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CALBEETX]

So I have been through so many threads it is making my head spin - I just want to make sure I am reading this correct. If I did NOT order the AUX switches it is NOT plug and play. It is semi wired but not all the way?! I ordered an Outerbanks without Aux switches b/c I am a dumba$$ - installed pod lights and LED light bar ordered the OEM console assembly/ switch assembly - but cannot figure out how to connect. What else do I need to order?! Please help me.

to be safe , I would talk to the dealership and have them install..

It seems like they are some vehicles/trims that are delivered with the components for a plug and play switch unit install, and some that are not.

I read the original thread mentioned above and I believe they determined that the wiring harness is not in either A pillar, and it requires a different overhead console part number. So, I went an easier route and got a 6 switch panel. It fits nicely in the gap in the hero switch panel. Used a mount from Bullet Point mounting solutions, with 1/4 20 1” ball to hold it.

This is very similar to what @Copperhorse73 posted but check out this thread posted by one of the vendors @4x4TruckLEDs.com .

Yep that thread was sort of my inspiration, I just decided to put in a smaller panel into the spot I chose because I find that the lower storage bin there is where I keep all my crap when I’m driving

Thank you - but I do not find that thread is it called something else?

Part of the problem is the harness going from the passenger A pillar is different from AUX to non-AUX. I posted the P/N in that thread but never heard if anyone verified the wires to the A pillar connector were there. If so, there's a good chance it might be plug and play since most have the wires under hood already.

Sorry wasn't my install but one of the vendors here (check out the link for more info on his set up)

Auxpower is the brand. They have a variety of 6 and 8 button options on Amazon

*SHRUG* I just jammed the wire through I didn't actually remove it.

That's an AuxBeam panel. We stock the 8 port ones in a green or blue backlight:
