Well - if you really want to do it - you can open the module & add a simple push button 2 pin dimple behind the switch itself. But it is a bit over the top. Not worth the effort required. Also - unlike Maruti etc, the switches actually are not independent in our cars. The whole horizontal strip actually is a single module in the back with a single connector for all switches & single piece assembly altogether. So realistically - no its not possible to plug into the dummies. Its a real bummer. Those who want to give pre-molded units like this and not replace-able caps like in simple Marutis - for aesthetic gains - should then include disconnected push button at the bank with open wires to use in future. Otherwise - first it looks good & then it immediately looks STUPID.
I suggest you get a good looking toggle switch and install it near the right knee - on the dashboard. Its a convenient place to use without looking while driving. Quote:
