Ashtray delete questions
Thinking about ashtray delete. Would be second mod after my pumpkin-delete (I'm very tech-savy).
My seat heaters are on the front console, not center. Anyone do anything worthwhile with the two other switches (non-window) in the center while they do the ashtray delete?
Also looks like I can get my tray in black, black or black. None of the online retailers sell grey any more, and the custom paint requires full console purchase. Anyone paint this as a DIY, or they just go black; I'd rather stick with grey.
And finally, anyone have a pic of the no-smoking lighter cap?
Thanks.

Looks like my question was answered here about 7 yrs ago....but here goes...
Can you buy the Ashtray delete mod piece (non-smoker’s tray) in any color other than black/grey? My interior is beige. Black isn’t the end of the world, but figured I’d ask first. Thanks.

However the serious answer is, its part of the non-smokers package so the plug replaces the lighter plug. FYI you need to change the whole unit for it to fit, or if you just want the plug trim it down so it fits the hole. Its a bit too big
Also FWIW it also covers up the majority of the light ring - something i'm not particularly a fan of but thats just the way it is.

I use one of the spots for my garage door opener.

I saw that mod on youtube! It is sweet, but they used a spot under the manual hydraulic wing control. Or are you saying you did it with an open spot down by ashtray area? That would be sweet...but how did you run power?

I tucked a garage door opener under and behind the ashtray.
I soldered 2 wires to it and the switch is connected.
Batteries last for years in garage door openers.
It’s easy to get to for battery replacement.

That’s an awesome mod! I’m gonna have to do it! Is it hard to figure out where to solder the wires?

You could move the heated seat switches to the ashtray delete and then get a batwing with no switch spots.
I added the foot well lighting switch, spoiler switch and a USB plug and will now add the garage door switch to fill all my blanks.

Thats awesome! 1. do the heated seats reach the spots for ashtray delete? 2. how did you add a usb? that’s a great idea!

The heated seats do not reach. You will have to extend them. As for the USB, I did this (the blank will be the garage door opener). I am going to redo it, though, as I can do it a little more tidy.

That’s a nice setup! Good work with blue to match stitching also! So I could move my current seat heaters to center console ashtray delete (when i do it) and then that will leave 2 openings on my current batwing part. Get an older non-shaped blank for usb and targa switch for garage door! Love it! Thanks!
Is it hard to extend the seat heaters??
