Wow that is actually a really good idea. I didnt get the dual adapter board, but if I did I would certainly look into this possibility. Maybe you could find a used wiper switch since it is only two position, and figure out a way to wire that in. It would definitely be sleek.

If you've got a spare switch slot open on your dash area... you could use another power mirror switch. Maybe put some sort of on/off indicator for it so you know which mode you're in. This would work for early and late

I thought about putting a switch in the center console, but i have to many nosey passengers that like to play with stuff when they get into the car. Any type of two position switch will work, i had this one on my desk that was never used for anything. Its a aircraft grade switch, a bit overkill...but its the only use i can think for it!

he gave me a switch with the chip and adapter board... but if i could use a "stock looking" chip (the LED indicator is a great idea..) then i'll definitely consider it.
