Streetglow Switches AND Sound Module

Okay so the guys over at the12volt couldnt help me with this, and right now it seems impossible.Ive got two components, both streetglow, one is a 5 Switch Panel (SGSW5) and the other is the Music Interface (ANMI-2). they both have 2 wire hookups for power and then 4 two wire outputs. I'd like to use the switches to control everything, but have the sound module wired in somehow to make things flash to music still. The switches I had installed are failing on me and I really liked the look and simplicity of the switch panel.Any tricks to get something like this to work? Im stumped...

Sorry for the crude paint pics, i dont have the switch panel yet or i wouldve taken pictures of each. Basically both controllers are made to put power and ground to each circuit, but i need a way to somehow combine them.

one switch out of the switch panel, powers the flasher module, the other three, accessories.. Pretty simple..

Alright i suppose thats my only option, but i was looking to be able to use them all separately, say switch one for interior, switch two for exterior, switch three for the trunk and the fourth for the engine bay.

If you're wanting inconspicuous switches, you could check these out.They look official and they say that they fit the matrix dash. And oznium makes a fine quality product

well i have a switch in mine that i cut like you said, but if i could have avoided the cutting and mounting i would have, just didn't know about those. Thought i'd throw em out there as there are four slots to put em and he wants four separate switches

Okay thats more like it. Ive gone through the routine with other switches and it worked before, but now ive dropped money on this switch panel and it looks alot better than the faceplate i made with plexiglass. i had a thought on the way home today that involved using the power from the switch panel and then have the ground put on the flashing module so that when both were switched on they would flash but still be controlled by the switch panel. but ive read things that warned against having the ground switched in any way. any thoughts on that?

Doesn't matter in a DC system weather you switch the + or -Can the flash not do constant? If the flasher ccan be set to constant, all you need to do is what I outlined above... When you want a solid light, flasher get set to constant..
