Default Redarc tow controller in 2023 luxury

Anyone find a good install location for the redarc dial in the luxury trim. I don’t have switch blanks to work with. I’ll likely put it in a custom spot below the left switches or somewhere just behind the shifter. Any thoughts here?

I installed mine right next to the gas filler door release... sorry for the fuzzy picture.

If using the Redarc switch plate note that the hole for the switch is not centred in the plate, it is offset lower, I measured mine on the lower cowl to centre the hole but this resulted in the switch plate being positioned slightly lower than what I would have prefered, OCD. But too late now and it looks OK

Honestly, it was about a year ago. I remember that for the control ****, I pretty much followed the template they sent along to a T... and then I wished I had made the hole just a very little bit smaller.

Removing and reinstalling all the trim pieces to make it all look nice is kinda futzy-putzy, but not difficult. Good luck with your project.
