Custom Aux Switch Buttons

[msiminoff]

It has always bugged me that the only way to rename the factory Aux switches in my JTM was to put a sticker on them (I used black DYMO tape w/white letters). Once the labels were stuck on the text on the buttons was no longer visible at night… and frankly they looked like crap. I searched all over for somebody who offered custom laser-engraved Aux switches for the JT & JL’s, but couldn’t find anything, so I decided to tackle the project myself.

I removed the buttons from the switch housing, carefully sanded & re-painted them, laser engraved the new text, and reassembled. It was a lot of effort, but I think they came out pretty good.

That looks professional; nicely done

Nice work. Looks great.

I have a set of Voswitch aux switches. They come with the stick on labels that I am not a fan of.

That’s outstanding. If you’d consider letting me pay you to do mine, send me a dm. Such nice work.

FRT CAM?

That's my front trail camera... my Jeep didn't have the factory one so I added one (with Tazer and cable from Z-Automotive.

So you tap that and the Front Cam comes up on your Infotainment screen? WHAT?!? I have the same Z-Automotive trail cam kit but it turns on with an onscreen button.

So you're telling me when the Infotainment system senses 12v coming from the trail cam, the screen automatically switches to the front cam feed?

I used to have access to a laser. I made these for my JKU. Fun stuff!

I have a similar setup. You still must tap the onscreen button to open the cargo cam. A switch is to keep the camea off when not in use.

Very nice! Definitely a market for these.
