Default F55 Switch As An NPP Controller?

Just wondered if anyone has added an F55 dial to their non F55 vehicle as a way to control their NPP exhaust?

I am looking for a Z51 C6 but love how the F55 switch fills out the center console and would like add it just for the cosmetics, but if I can make it function it's a win-win.

Has anyone tried doing this?

I would think it could be made to work. Maybe one of our vendors will chime in.

With the add-a-circuit you just replace the seat heat fuse with the add-a-circuit, wire it to the NPP fuse location with the NPP fuse removed and then to your switch. You can use the F55 switch location for the NPP switch.

First picture, in order as shown:
12V 15A exhaust remote, ground lug [on twin black leads], mini fuse lug (cut down from standard lug) [on white 12V out lead - this goes to the NPP out signal slot in the fuse block], add a mini fuse tap [to red 12V in lead on remote - this goes in fuse slot for heated seat w/ mini 10A fuse top and bottom - maintains seat heat and adds a power circuit for the remote]

Second picture is the add-a-circuit.

This is absolutely doable. It is however going to be a fairly expensive NPP control switch. If you decide to go this route nd need any help with the pinout and termination on the switch, just let me know.
