Are you planning on using the 6th gen console switches? Im interested in how you're going to wire that puppy up. i bought the same console recently and I'm not sure how to wire it up. Obviously, I can't use the traction control for its oem purpose but maybe I can use it for something else or at the least get the switches to light up. thanks

I tried to play around with the switches, in the 6th gen camaro they work through a canbus system so they are very low voltage and work on transmitting different ohms to the cars brain. I think you can get the hazard switch to work because that’s a simple switch with fairly thick wires so it’s probably 12v. The other switches I tried to wire up I believe the traction control switch on/off to my trunk popper since it was just a contact switch but it fryed the switch after a few times of popping the trunk. So those switches may not be 12v?
I too was hoping to at least use the parking brake switch as I have an electronic parking brake but I haven’t gotten that far yet. Someone suggested that I can use a TR12 module then I can get any canbus switch to do what I want, but I haven’t gotten that far yet.
