    Wanting to know if this heated seat button(s) can be moved to this spot and has what looks to be a black cover.Is that black cover used for anything at all ? I want to free up the spot where the heated seat button is at to try and install a USB power option there...check pic

    I believe the blank you pictured is where the fancy variable cruse cruise button goes. I put my bass knob there. You can do what you asked if you feel comfortable removing panels, the console and relocating/stretching wires as required..

    Looks like an option if you can find the part number/s needed. Same proviso stands. You could also just modify/cut your existing panel to mount your port/s.

    I wouldn't have put the fog light button right there like they did in that pic.But looks like heated seat button would go good there.I dont want to try cutting any plastic if i mess up and have to find a new one just to be a stage one all over again

    The options to you are only limited buy your resources and abilities. There are many posts where folks put USB and 3.5 jacks on that panel, or a blank on that panel. Take your time to research and check with the local car stereo installers for options as well. This is not a complicated mod. This is where I put mine, but would have put it on that lower panel if I had a do over.

    Actually it's for the Pre-Support function for the Intelligent Parking Assist (Advanced Guidance Parking System).

    Here's a photo with it installed.

    With a bit of creative wire routing it could be placed ANYWHERE.
