Adding Hill Descent Control to a non-FX4 4WD

[UNIKRN150]

I was a little bummed out when my truck arrived and the Snow Plow switch had been replaced with a Hill Decent switch and the Snow Plow activation was moved to a touch screen menu.

But then I tried Hill Decent driving down a steep, rocky, rutted road...

Hill Decent works great!

I found a new FX4 truck online and snapped a photo of its dash to compare with mine so I could figure out what split switch they use when adding HDC to these regular cab trucks without all the options. You see that they used a 3-switch bezel instead of mine that has just 2 switches. So I need to see what 2 switches I’d use in my truck - that came with auto stop delete ($50 credit).

Note that this truck has 3 switches, no nav, but does have HD Radio - because it came with the B&O sound system (a crew cab model).

My truck has no auto stop, so no switch to turn it off. I need a pair of switches to perform 4 functions, not 3 as it is now. Simplest for me would be a split switch for both the rear camera and HDC. Otherwise, it’s a split switch for camera and something else with the other switch handling the remaining two functions. Or maybe I have to go to 3 switches and a new 8” center bezel like the one shown?

Using the VIN at the top of this thread, I got this result:

You see that they offer several different switches depending on your options. I need to find the 2022 version of this diagram as my own VIN won’t resolve on the parts pages yet!
