need input on switch location for 2v7
I finally got around to putting the 2v7 in and now I need to put a switch someplace for the use of the other memory bank. I know there are several people on here who have a 2v7 installed and was wanting ideas on what you guys have done for a switch. I mainly want the switch to look stock if visible, or to be hidden.

If your car isn't OBDII you could put it in the coin holder. I've also seen them in the rear seat ashtray.

which version of 2v7 did you get?
I got the NO2 controller, which needs to be connected to a momentary switch, which would pretty much be the same one you use to activate your NO2 system.... I have run mine to a switch which up until recently was in my ashtray... where I eventually planned on running it to a button on a shifter knob. If you have an auto and have the "Flex" version which I believe need to remain energized (constant on), then you could wire it to the manual button on the auto shifter. About 99% of people are not going to use that switch anyway... "very stock"

I'm running the flex so I need a on/off switch. I like the idea of the manual button, and I would never thought of the rear ashtray. any other ideas?

front ashtray. under the radio, if you dont' smoke it's great! make a little ABS panel and recess it into it about 3/4" then you can close the door and pop it open to reveal some nice micro toggle switches!

Lee, just to verify what you are saying, please tell me what switch you are refering to. I am thinking something along the lines of adding another switch to the trim piece (lower left corner spot) that would just be another shift lock button. Is this what you mean? Maybe I need to find a picture...
Thanks for the ideas so far, and I use the ashtray for holding change as the stock change holder is worthless. This would present the obvious option of putting the switch in the stock change holder location, but would be too obvious and visually obtrusive for me as I can't think of a switch to go there that looks stock.

I used an extra heated mirror/parking light switch in the coin holder slot to turn off my power mirrror.
Looks completely stock unless you notice that it is a duplicate of the switches on the other side of the steering column.

When I said the coin holder, I meant inside the coin holder. That way you can close the door & hide it.
