@Mindless, nice job!
And easy enough to put back to stock if you ever have too.

Where to mount voltmeter?

Yes but I’d be leaving a hole in the dash

I LOVE THAT. OMG I wish I lived close to you. I'd pay you to do that in my car.
GREAT job.
Thanks

I figured you could probably get a new switch plinth for cheap and replace that.

Originally I thought you could do something similar to this Japanese CX-5:So I took the plunge and I install the voltmeter today I ended up installing it on the panel with the Blindspot monitoring and the tire pressure monitoring buttons like I showed in mock up option one earlier in this thread.
That empty space is reserved for manual headlight vertical adjustment in certain countries such as France:
Have you ever thought about soldering these 2 wires to terminals? That should be a much better way I believe.
If you want remove the voltmeter when you're ready to sell your CX-5, you can always get a new panel (hopefully you can get just the cover without buttons) from Mazda dealer to replace the one with a hole.
Nevertheless very nice work indeed! (cool)

You can't buy just the panel/cover. It comes as a whole switch assembly which runs around $100.
