  Yes you can run your own wire and glue a switch to the console. But it won’t work in the car’s ui. And I bet everything over 5v for USB is off a computer controlled relay. So you’d have to patch into the high voltage battery and do your own dc to dc conversion.

      If it was easy and cheap, everyone would be doing it for all their controls instead of complaining about Tesla’s touch screen.

        Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean it isn’t easy.
