If you've added auxiliary lighting, a compressor, or a winch to your Toyota, you've run into the same problem everyone does: where does the switch panel go? Most people end up with a Switch Pro or Auxbeam box zip-tied under the dash, stuck to the A-pillar with tape, or dangling off the steering column. It works, but it looks like an afterthought — and it rattles.
There's a cleaner way. Both the 4th Gen 4Runner and the 1st Gen Tundra and Sequoia have factory cavities that are perfect for a flush, hidden switch mount. Here's how to do it right.
The problem with zip-tied switch panels
A switch controller is the brain of your accessory wiring. Mounting it badly causes three issues: it rattles loose over washboard, the wiring gets pinched or stressed every time it shifts, and — honestly — it cheapens an otherwise clean build. A factory-location mount fixes all three. It holds the panel rigid, routes the harness cleanly, and looks like it came that way from the dealer.
4th Gen 4Runner (2003–2009): the sunglass holder mount
The overhead sunglass holder on the 4th Gen 4Runner is wasted space for most owners. Our 4th Gen 4Runner Switch Pro 9100 Hidden Mount drops a Switch Pro 9100 controller into that exact location. Closed, the panel looks completely stock — no one knows it's there. Flip it open and you have full access to all eight switches, right at eye level. It's 3D-printed in ASA (the same material family used for outdoor automotive trim, so it won't warp in a hot cabin), and it installs without cutting or drilling.
This is the move for anyone running a Switch Pro who wants the cleanest possible install in a 4Runner interior.
1st Gen Tundra & Sequoia (2000–2006): the ashtray delete
On the 1st Gen Tundra and Sequoia, the factory dash ashtray below the temperature gauges is the ideal spot. Our 1st Gen Tundra & Sequoia 8-Switch Auxbeam Panel Mount is a direct ashtray replacement: pull the ashtray, drop this in, and your Auxbeam 8-switch panel sits in the factory dash location — centered, reachable, and rattle-free. No zip ties, no drilling, no panel stuck to the dash with adhesive.
If you'd rather mount a phone, GPS, or other accessory in that same spot, the 1-inch ball mount ashtray delete uses the same factory cavity.
Why factory-location mounts matter for a clean build
Every part we make is designed around a specific factory location, so it fits flush and looks stock — no universal brackets, no guesswork. That's the difference between a build that looks modified and a build that looks engineered. A hidden switch mount is one of the highest-impact, lowest-effort upgrades you can make: it takes ten minutes, costs less than a tank of gas, and instantly cleans up the busiest part of your interior.
Build out the rest of your interior
A switch mount is usually step one. Once the wiring is clean, most owners move on to storage and gear organization. Browse the full lineup by platform: 4th Gen 4Runner accessories, 1st Gen Tundra & Sequoia accessories, or our best-selling Toyota interior mods.
