the problem with that would be where would you mount it?? If someone can figure a good place I might consider making something like that. Probably need a square area about 1.5" x 3" with maybe 1.5" of available depth behind it.

Maybe move the AirBag switch behind the dash and use that whole little area? Or the little area above the switch.
or maybe a simpler variation...just a normal switch that has back-lit numbers???
I hope Rob will forgive me for using his picture as an example.

EXACTLY what I'd like! I currently have Guy's switch next door to the airbag switch.

Hurry up and make this happen Ben.........:thumb:
I would like a tap shifter for the 2002 with the normal display on the cluster.

X3. I would also be interested in a dsp switch with backlit numbers like what you posted from Rob's pic. That or even LED's that turn on as you move the switch from one side to the other, but the back lit numbers idea I think would be a great item.
I think just an amount of lit leds to correspond with the switch position would be fine. I think it would be hard to get numbers to light up, or would it?
so maybe something simpler like this? Where each red LED lights up regarding what tune position you are on?
Then the arrow on the knob would be backlit as well so you can see that position the knob is pointing at???
That would be simple and cost effective. However then again we need a small square area to mount it...and im not sure how many people would be willing the give up their dash cubby. The panel would probably be 2"x2" shiny aluminum with 4 screws to mount it in place, with the knob and LED's...
Thoughts?

I could have them light up in succession, like when in position 1, only 1 LED is lit, then when in 5, all 5 LED's are lit up.

Wouldnt the LEDs be kinda bright at night?? i could see if all 5 were lit it might cause a little annoyance in the corner of your eye. Either way, what every you come up with ill buy one from you ben. hell you want a bit of cash up front?? i
ll be puttin it in where the tape player is right now (with the new deck its usless anyhow). its like 2" high and 4 or 5" wide

Or you could make them bi-color LEDs so the active tune is red and the others are green (for example).
