I saw this panel on the Ram truck page. Does it exist? If so, where can I get one?

they do for the 2009-2012 rams. I added it. Far as I know no one has done it for the 2013's yet.

I saw a post somewhere that said those aux switches occupy the same space as the switches for heated/cooled seats, so you can't have both. Beyond that, I have no idea.

I don't have heated or cooled seats. Those are blank on my truck. But from what I can tell, they are made for a chassis cab. The buttons talk to an 'Upfitter Interface Module.'

I'm not sure if this is something I could integrate into a 1500 truck or not. It would take a bit of research.

Those are sweet, but IDK if I'm willing to ditch heated seat /wheel for them.... More research required...

My tradesman hasn't any switches in that bottom row, just one smooth piece of plastic.

Do you have any info or part numbers? Might add these to my 2012, once I find somewhere to mount them since the factory spot has the seat controls.

I'm ordering the parts to attempt this. The wiring schematic looks like this shouldn't be too hard.

Just an update on this. The aux panel isn't for sale yet.

May want to look at this thread. looks like the switches cant be added
2013 aux switches - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum

Thanks for the information. Most of what was posted there is the pretty accurate and what I have already concluded based on my own research. However, I still have reason to believe that I can make the switches work. I do not expect intelligent functionality, via the VSIM, a radio interface, or even retained switch position on subsequent starts.

But I do still have hope that I can get them to function the same as an aux switch from Autozone would. They'll just look a lot better.
