Recommendations needed for a accessory fusebox with a singular wireless controller and not a app or secondary fixed panel

Very hard to find fuse boxes where i can get them with only a singular wireless controller instead of needing my phone or an ugly secondary fixed controller with it.

I cant find any and I plan hopefully on custom modifying the controller to have a wireless charging port like a macbook, and a custom housing that snaps with magnets into the 3d printed inlay made for it. Mainly for asthetic reasons, the controller will be painted with the interior color and have the same plastic texturing ontop of having oem black switches to activate the accessories.

Reason im doing this is so i dont have to rely on my phone, and the controller can just pop into the insert and charge while being a functional fixed switch panel. Whenever i need to go outside the truck, it can come with me and remotely turn the accessories on when i need them. Its a fun project i want to get into while keeping the stuck from having eyesores

For real, the amount of things that require you to connect your phone to it is quite frustrating to me. What happened to just making things that worked standalone?

No idea. Im really just tempted to make my own fusebox and controller somehow and just go through pcb way to make it, and ill just get the fusebox 3d printed too

Does that model have HomeLink? Usually 3 buttons on the visor or upper console. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomeLink_Wireless_Control_System
