note that the 5-switch unit installes below the heater controls - so theres has to be a wireing harness down there
No, there isn’t. The switches and wiring harnesses come with the accessories, I.e lights. That 5-switch unit is just a switch plate with covers for unused holes.

My mistake thought that it made sence to to have a univeral harnes - so if you add lights later on will have to snake wires under trim.

There is a reason all the light installations are rated “Advanced.” That especially includes the Animated DRLs and taillights.

It would be an amazing bargain to have a panel with 5 Contura rocker switches complete with a harness for $40.

Slate shows exactly five accessories that will use the switch panel:
light pods, rooftop light bar, fog lights, rock light kit, bed light kit

What will be interesting to see is how these accessories will connect to the power system. Is there a power hub that Slate's devices will plug into?

There are a lot of options for off-road vehicles, from the basic DYI fuse box using rocker switches, up to the fancy systems like this one: https://store.switchpros.com/sp9100-switch-panel-power-system/

I do wonder if the third party switching hubs could be used with the Slate, but until we see install videos for the lighting accessories it's just a guessing game.
