What is the space on the right for and what does the vent on the left do? Not my dash but I have the same space and vent.

The little bin is usually called a "delete bin" or similar name. It is used as a feature on vehicles that do not have the option that the hole is for instead of just a closeoff plate. In one of the pictures above, it appears to be used for aux switches.
In the old days, it would have just been closed off with a blank plate, but most manufacturers have been making these little bins instead of just using a plate to closeoff the hole. |

| Do you have the part number for that? I kind of want to order it for my truck. Seems the outlet plate is only part of the items one would need; there may also be an actual inverter mounted under the seat. |

The "vent" is an interior temp sensor for auto climate control.
The "bin" is just that, a bin. I don't know of any model having another feature in the passenger side bin, but its trailer tow for me on the driver side. Raptor/Platinum has the void bin on that side even. |

This looks promising. I'm interested myself, as I have the same cubbyhole and could use some upfitter switches. https://www.am-autoparts.com/Ford/f250-super-duty-truck/electrical-auto-parts/AM-2311664203/935556.html?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping%20Campaign&utm_term=1100000069466&utm_content=all%20published%20products Quoted:

Found info / guide on cubbyhole upfitter switch install.
http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f170/%A1m%E1s-factory-upfitters-easy-access-wiring-30527/#post599232 ETA: Looks like it's a bit more involved that first seems. Gotta trim some of the dash support structure to make room for the switch bezel. hmm... |

Soldering wires, using shrink tubing, wire loom and friction tape is not that hard. Never mind, the thread layout is weird on my phone. He did use loom and electrical tape. The pictures are out of order for me. |

He made those epic relay panels but used crimp connectors and painter's tape all over the place.

Were I to do this I think I would just buy the Ford relay panel and wire harness that is paired with these switches from the factory. Seems much easier. Quoted:
