Wiring and removal intructions for little shifter light

i haven't seen anything on the wiring, just the electrical tape solution.

 

Seems like a use an elephant gun to kill a fly solution IMO.

 

Well, if you figure out what wire(s) to put a switch between, you might want this:

It fits perfectly in the dashboard where the blanks are located by your dimmer.

the quickest & cheapest solution/
invisible from pretty much any angle/

 

Just stick a pencil eraser in it.

 

Translucent tape over it, so you can still see it when you really need it, like when you have an accident at night and can't see anything.

 

Or, don't obsess over it and learn to ignore it.

I'd second that. Actually, I can't even see it being an irritant: I'd kinda like to be able to see the shifter in the dark, and the light is very unobtrusive. Not that I ever use the thing to speak of, except to get in and out of reverse.

I'd put the back-up beep in the same category. And again, I kinda like it. Funny, both these are accomodations to the unorthodox shifter...

There was a guy here really worried about hitting Park at speed, tearing up the transmission, crashing, and so on (even tho it's software protected). He cobbled up a metal bracket to cover the button. Did not exactly look pleasing, and try explaining that to potential customers at trade-in time.

 

Not that I would test it, but I'd be very surprised if the system let you put it into park when you are at speed.

Thanks for testing that for us.

 

How can you achieve "complete darkness" by removing that little light when you have more lights coming across your dashboard?

 

I'd love a little more illumination for the effing door unlock switch.

 

The link works for me on my smartphone ?.
