- Remote Opener: Momentary switch used to operate a compatible electric bottle opener
- Purge: Red momentary push button used to activate a compatible nitrous purge system
The rocker switches provide illuminated visual identification when their respective circuits are activated.
Ashtray-Mount Design
The application-specific panel fits over the factory ashtray location, allowing the controls to be installed within the original console area.
Before installation, compare the vehicle’s ashtray opening and surrounding console components with the current product photographs. Factory trim condition, previous interior modifications and replacement consoles can affect fitment.
The factory ashtray may no longer remain usable after the switch panel is installed.
Construction and Finish
The panel is manufactured from water-jet-cut aluminum and finished in black anodizing. Laser-etched labels identify the individual switch functions and provide a finished appearance that complements a performance-oriented interior.
Anodized finishes can display minor variations in shade or texture. Clean the panel with a soft cloth and nonabrasive automotive-interior cleaner.

System Compatibility
The switch panel may be used with compatible nitrous systems and accessories from Nitrous Outlet or other manufacturers. Electrical compatibility must be verified for every component connected to the panel.
This listing does not include a complete nitrous system, bottle, bottle heater, remote bottle opener, purge assembly, solenoids, controller, relays or vehicle-specific wiring harness.
Electrical Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Follow the instructions supplied with the nitrous system and every connected accessory.
Before wiring:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery
- Identify every switch terminal
- Confirm the voltage and current requirements of each accessory
- Use properly sized automotive wire
- Protect each circuit with the appropriate fuse
- Use relays when required by the accessory manufacturer
- Establish secure chassis grounds
- Route wiring away from exhaust components and moving parts
- Protect wiring passing through metal openings
- Confirm that no wires interfere with the shifter or parking brake
- Test each function individually before operating the nitrous system
Do not connect a bottle heater, nitrous solenoid or other high-current component directly through a switch unless the component manufacturer specifically permits that wiring arrangement.
Final wiring depends on the nitrous system, bottle heater, remote opener, purge solenoid and controller being used.
