In a word, NO.
I'm looking for ideas on where to install the remote control knob in a D4. So far I've only seen sniegy's approach (lower panel left of column) and on the headlight switch panel. Does anybody have a suggestion for where to install this such that it can be removed at a later date without leaving a hole?

I'm picking up a new camper trailer on Saturday and so last week had an ECB and Anderson plug installed.
I went to Pedders in Phillip as on a previous visit I noticed some ECBs and I asked them if they fitted them - yep they do.
Dropped the D4 on Tuesday, gave them the document from post 540 in this thread I believe and tried to impress on them that it would be tricky and they better follow the instructions, and pointed them to the diode section for the LED lights.
Two hours later got a call from them to hear it was over their head and they'd drop the car at AutoCo across the road and they'd do it. I called them up to be sure they were confident, got a slightly defensive person on the line saying all was good, they were auto electricians after all. Labour though was estimated at $700.
End of the day, Pedders calls me to say the car isn't ready yet.
Next day around 4, I rock up to take delivery... car not ready yet, will take another hour or so. AutoCo guy asks where I want the remote control to be put. Apparently too big to sit next to the headlight switch he said... I said OK put it where you can but not in front of my knees. Since I had an appointment at 5, I returned the next morning; paid the $1,500 for parts and labour and slightly disgruntled went on my way.
- They've assured me it works and tested it. I have no clue, I guess I will find out on Saturday?!?
- The remote control is placed.... right in front of my left knee. Of course.
- I'm no auto electrician but if I had two days of time, a slab of beer and a mate, I'm pretty sure I'd have cleared the job (and be comfortable trying to fix it if it didn't work!)
Wish me good luck on Saturday!
Yes ,Just mount the ETB Unit a little lower.Quote:

Using a dremel will help a lot to make space behind the right-hand side of the light panel.

This is how the switch looks from behind once mounted.
