Can you relocate the EV and ECO mode buttons?

    Let me explain why I'm even trying to do this. I want to install some Clazzio leather seat covers in the car with their respective heating elements. The switches they come with should fit the remaining 2 pop-out buttons in the middle console (with a dremel modification ).

    I'd like to move the ECO mode button to the left of the EV button so that it would look like this:

    ----------------
    - ECO --- EV -
    ----------------
    - H1 --- H2 -
    ----------------

    Here is a link to what available switches they have. I want to use the IBHS2:

    Clazzio Leather Seat Covers - Heated Seats Page

    I'd imagine I could just pop them out, disconnect the terminals behind them and reconnect them, but I want to make sure there won't be any ramifications first.

    Any ideas are appreciated.

    i actually had the same idea as you. i believe that the buttons can be relocated granted that the wiring has enough slack. the buttons are the same size so shouldnt be a problem.

    let us know how it turns out.

    The buttons are soldered to a circuit board that's one unit. That would make them very difficult to relocate but NOT impossible.

    Did that a year ago. They are spade terminals. There isn't any circuit board or soldering.
