I need a push button

[TruckinThumper]

Long story short, I need an attractive push button that blends in to the dash somewhere.
Would like something that is within arms reach.

Been scouring Amazon for some, but just can find anything that blends in with the interior.

You guys got any ideas?

This is the dash on my tradesman, except I have the 8.4" screen

Need more information: what has caught your eye, what’s it for, etc. Maybe I am late to the party and it’s been discussed somewhere else.

There's 6 of them on the bottom of the center stack labeled AUX1-AUX6.

well, I dont have those Aux switches or I would not be here looking for ideas... LOL
I have no more switches. I already looked there.

Basically, I bought a Garmin wireless camera. Between some gift cards, points, etc., I got it for about $50.
Truck is 20 foot long, so being able to nose up into a parking spot, or dodging things while towing in congested areas, the cam will help me see.
I already have a Garmin GPS that will pair with the camera, but it will only show cam when wired into the reverse switch.
Plan is to mount the cam in the grill and when I want to see what I am about to run over, I can push a switch and have the image show up on the GPS.

What is this optional slot for?

That’s where power adjusts pedals button lives

You might want to try Aircraft Spruce (aircraftspruce.com). Just do a search for push button. You will find a bunch.

No offense, but this is a Tradesman, which is poverty level.
No way Am I even looking at switches for an aircraft.....

Go to the junk yard and pick a switch out of a wrecked Ram

 

[TruckinThumper]

Thinking about going this route.

Plenty of push button switches on there less than 20 bucks, and probably better than that amazon china junk.

Digikey has to s of switch options that would work well

 

[Brutal_HO]

Carling

Yes, or Mouser. But shipping will kill you.

I'd get a Carling brand switch off amazon.

Yea I forgot about Mouser they are great too, the shipping is a bit spendy on small orders for sure!

Okay then, none taken. $10.95 for this one.

Or just drive to your local auto parts store and pick from 50 different ones.

Gotcha. I will try for a picture tomorrow. I mounted my airbag gauge/ control panel after Christmas. I could not find a place to easily mount it, to be seen easy and out of the way of my legs. I ended up mounting it to the right of the USB/USB-c outlets by the floor. In front of that cubby hole there is a flat spot ( under the control knobs) I screwed my gauge up too. Maybe think about down there kinda hidden for your button than trying to blend it in the dash. It doesn’t sound like you will be turning it on and off every trip or multiple times a day.
