OK I'm officially interested.
I wish there wasn't 2 feet of snow outside!!!

How is the program selection done (green, red) I don't see a mountable switch or remote in any of the photo's.

Unfortunately no, the switching module is the second generation of the Sprint Booster product. There is no connect on non selectable units.

Unfortunately no, we do not recommend modifying the Sprint Booster wire in anyway. This will likely void the warranty of the unit and compromise its operation while it is plugged into the unit.

Please let me know if that helped in answering your question.

Thanks Stavros.

Had a dohhhh moment there and figured it out right after I posted the question, what I thought was just an indicator light-housing is actually the switch...

I definedly want to get one but I totally agree that the switch needs a redesign to something much sleeker!

Could be a good DIY project to try and make it work with the current switch, maybe do a cutout and insert the stock switch from behind (flush mount).

However since I don't know what the profile of the switch looks like perhaps you could tell me which one of the following option is logistically feasible. (pic1 or 2)

Cheers!

Sid.

I think you're missing a huge opportunity here. Not only would you sell more units, you'd have additional revenue from sales of the switch.

Since you're the vendor and I'd be buying the sprint booster from you perhaps you could answer this question (surprised you haven't chimed in already).

Could I do a cutout and insert the stock switch from behind (flush mount)?.

Thanks!

Btw - The heated seat switch is a three position switch. Off, on 1, and on 2.

OK got it, thanks!
This link worked for me.

Looks cool but I'm not sure if I'd be willing to take a chance of turning my Porsche into a Toyota ....(ya know all throttle no stop!)
Had it happen once, gave a little gas and the car just took off through the car wash, scared the bejesus out of me

So I think I'll stick with the stock booster switch but try to find a more visually pleasing way of inter-grading it into the interior.
Well that's the goal at least
