Interior dummy buttons

Has anyone been able to find actual buttons that can functionally replace one of the four dummy buttons in the cabin?

the ones for the heated seats are the ones by the AWC button- I think the ones by the steering wheel for the sun roof or somthing.

Wrong, Wrong and Wrong. Couldn't be more wrong.

The heated seats are up by the center compartment. And the sunroof is up by the dome light.

I'm not quite sure what the dummy buttons are used for because I don't have a fully-loaded RA. I just want to be able to place actual switches/buttons in place of the dummy buttons. I would rather not have free-floating switches dangling around, or even worse, cutting into the dash to mount other switches.

I have a fully loaded Ralliart. I couldn't have got another option if I tired. Yet I still have 2 dummy buttons next to my traction control button. I would imagine there is also a dummy button where the HID adjuster is on the base model. The heated seat buttons are right below the armrest lid.

I also had a fully loaded Toyota Tacoma Off-Road SR5 with dummy buttons. I think they ended up using one of them for traction control the following year that I bought mine. Other then that, there was still a dummy button not used.

Could be that they are for buttons for japan spec lancers. I know I have seen some buttons on japan parts for fmic sprayers and stuff like that.

Chances are they are for overseas spec ralliarts, evos, or usdm evos, or any other mitsu vehicle that uses that same dash piece.

What I'm actually looking for is a blank cover with an opening on the top, so that the USB cable doesn't look hideous.

Here's what I did to mine, all thanks to my friend's soldering skills.



The 3 switch panel is one unit, and the first two are just blank covers.

No luck so far in getting a part number. I don't want to buy that whole panel if I can help it.

One is for the FMIC water sprayer (I think that is next to the headlight adjustment... one of the EVO owners might be able to verify that). The one of the blank center buttons is for the DCCD, and the other is to engage the flux capacitor.
