I don't think I'll be using the 5A button, and I don't want it in the glove box... but may end up there. Want it either out of sight, or "hidden" in plain sight...

Wouldn't want the windshield washer solution on my paint... "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

You could do a push momentary in the same location and it wouldn't be very obvious. 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]

The button was located inside the ashtray area under the radio. Next to the cigarette lighter. From either side you could reach in and push it. I tried installing it on my 69/70 Charger but the latch on the decklid is far too short and it bottomed out before it clasped Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s

I'll see how that goes for now. Eventually I plan on adding RKE and trunk release, but that will be a while. I've even been working a little on a remote start for carbs. Shouldn't be too bad. Will probably experiment more with the K5 (assuming I don't get it switched over to EFI first)before trying it on the Mopar.
