Default Switch for center console?

I put a switch on my antenna so that I could raise and lower it at will instead of it being operated by the radio being turned on. I just have a little Radio Shack switch which is sitting behind the front dash behind the stereo. I'd like to put it in the center console next to my OEM fog light switch. A&H Motors said the only switch they knew of that Honda sold was that particular fog switch and they wanted $25! Is there another switch/part number? For one, it doesn't need to be lit like the fog light switch.

.....just get that switch.

Or get the jdm foglight switch (but it'll prolly be more $).

OR, you could just go to radio shack and drill one of those pop out filler covers and put that switch in there...

Ehhh, I just did this for less than $5, and the switches are tucked up under the radio. Don't forget to do your check engine as well! Go HERE and HERE for further details!

Yeah that is the guide I used, though I cut the wrong wire first, doh! I didn't like the placement of those switches because I put stuff in that little storage thing. Don't want my cell phone sliding back and forth in there and pushing the switches that are in there.

It's the head unit...when I installed my sony radio it had that feature included. Credit where credit is due . As for the switch placement...you could always put it in the sunroof spot too
