Idea for hardwired radar mute button
The car is in the shop right now to get the rear bumper fixed but in the meantime I have been researching this radar hardwiring and radar mounting for weeks and I have finally decided on what I'm going to do!
I'll post a diy after I'm done but first I need your input regarding the location of the mute button once the radar has been hardwired.

Thats the cord I will be using but they have given me a choice of a round or a flat mute button.
advantages:
round - looks cleaner
flat - does not require drilling, and flat cord to squeeze through cracks for easy placement.
disadvantage
round - requires drilling
flat - looks out of place if placed wrong.
I recently bought a dremmel for my dog's nail but I would like to avoid this method if possible.
So that leaves me with the flat button.
Other forums recommends putting it next the shifter but I don't want to disassemble too much of the car.
So where should I put this sucker?
So far all I can think of is somewhere on the left side out of sight from the passenger but I drive with my left hand so it would be nice if it was on the right side.
thanks!
