Hello all. I was wondering if anyone was knows how to remove the panel between the heated seats buttons on our cars..Ive attached a picture with an arrow pointing at the exact area in question.


I was wondering if I could 3d print a panel that would fit the screen of either a toms or blitz throttle control module.. one like this... Assuming it fits anyway.. I havent even purchased it yet. Just trying to sort out my options...

 

I believe that is a single unit.

CONSOLE SEAT HEATER CONTROL SWITCH

Though, it looks like there is a top bezel that might come off. If so, you'd have to remove the entire unit to replace the panel/bezel and there might not be enough room underneath to do what you want. If there is enough room, it might be worth buying a used part and modifying the bezel/panel. To me, all of the extra work to smooth out the layer lines in 3d printed object (even resin printed one with super tiny layers) is not worth the effort.

 

The top switch panel is all one piece and the whole switch assembly comes off from the bottom after removing the center console. There is room in the center of the panel to mount the Tom’s controller. I have removed the switch assembly on mine and replaced it with the track edition RC F panel, it’s just a cubby and I put the Tom’s controller in there. I did this because I don’t have the factory heated seats anymore on my RC F. However, here are some pictures from someone who made a cutout on the switch panel and mounted the controller on it.





This last picture is mine:

 

That is exactly what I want to do. Do you have the link of who did this?

 

If you don’t already have them, are super helpful.

 

He is not here on CL. He posted those pictures in the RC F owners group on FB a while back.
