That's a clever place to put it. I just replaced the battery in the controller I'm using, so I should be good for a bit. Just need to find a good location to place the controller. I've ordered the dash switch, and will try and follow the threads I've seen about this. I should be able to do this. Cross your fingers.

I believe I covered it in some bubble wrap with a couple of zip-ties and just slide it in there. It has been in +/- 18 months and I haven't touched it.

I store mine in the center console and ran a momentary switch to the ash tray. I still need to paint up the washer, but it works for now. Switch was about $5 from Lowes.

I store mine on the visor using a clip. The other buttons, I save for the flame thrower, oil drop and water cannon features.
