ok let's see If I got it right here.
You replaced the stereo with a tablet and added I supposed a small amp in the back, you did something to control the volume, maybe by software (easiest), you had to set up the power cable to the tablet, you say that you are going to 3D print the cover.
And now you are asking tips to move 3 ridiculous buttons, too funny! :smile:

The only thing I can think of doing is to completely redo the whole mounting face for where the radio, vents and buttons are. You could relocated the buttons and hazard light to the instrument cover facia since there is enough space and it is only one plug. However, I wouldn't do it since you are minimizing the vent functionality, and there are only two other ones on the outside. Secondly, I think its a safety hazard with having to deal with a touch screen when the user interface and screen sensitivity has not been optimized for road use. Other than that, good luck.

IIRC those wires are pretty long. You may be able to get enough length to move the switch and SRS stuff to a different location(s). Failing that, learn how to correctly extend wires. If you do them one at a time, use proper pliers/connectors you really can't go wrong.
