2014 Mazda 6 Commander switch permanent removal

Hi all,

I just upgrade my OEM HU to a Sony Carplay capable unit, and as expected, the commander knob has been rendered useless. I want to remove this knob as it is redundant and want to replace it with an OEM part from Mazda, but am unsure of what part to look for. Did the 2014 Mazda 6s that didn't come with the commander switch have a coin pocket instead? Any guidance here would be appreciated!

I'll be hanging on to the commander switch as I plan on re-installing it along with the head unit when I'm ready to trade-in the vehicle a few years down the road.

Thanks!

I*m keeping mine in case someone ever makes a harness that would allow some functionality with an aftermarket radio. I*ve seen this on YouTube but not sure how.
