I never took a pic when I had it mounted but let me try to describe.
On the small black trim to the left of the wheel, I popped that trim out and cut a large enough hole in the dash (lowest point in the recess still to be covered by the trim) so the switch plug would fit in the hole. Then I trimmed the black trim piece to fit around the plug, too, and used stick-on velcro to hold the switch to the trim piece. I was able to get an extra trim piece from someone parting out their truck, so when I took the DP chip/switch out, I just popped the stock trim back in.
I will be selling the modded trim piece with my DP chip, whenever I get around to selling it...

DP doesn't sell a **** type switch, theirs is an electronic switch, square thingy about 2" x 1" with up/down buttons on it and a digit indicator of switch position 1 - 16. Kind of difficult to get used to for me, but once I did I really liked it. Kind of miss it now...

Well, yours must be really old, cuz when I got mine 3 or 4 years ago they did not have that style and would not even get it for me...
Besides the OP mentioned F5 or F6 which are not rotary *****...

I know RubberDuck was able to talk Jody into a custom switch for his DP Tuner, give Jody a call and see if he can do the same for you. FWIW, I love the Ex switcher with the JMS in-dash mount in my SD.

They must have had a change of heart because I was not able to get a switch from them for nothing.
And the way I understand it is you can pull their tunes (if you have the right software) off a TS chip, so keeping their tunes on their chips helped to protect their stuff.
