Checked my 550 manual but found nothing about adding switches to that area. 

There's nothing in the manuals. I don't see any access from inside the cab, Hate to think you have to try to do this form under the vehicle. The 450 has no access from the battery compartment that I can see like some UTVs do.

Yea, sitting at work and can't think of any other way to do it either.  Can't remember, can you take anything off on the passenger side to gain access?

Not inside the cab, there's nothing removeable as far as I can see. I'll contact Massimo tech support and see what they say.  There are blank rocker switch covers and an Aux power port cover there. Surely there's a way without disassembling the entire UTV!

Talked to Massimo Tech Support. They say you have to access the switch panel from backside by going under the vehicle. Doesn't sound easy or fun.  I'm going to keep looking. It's too cold outside to do much. I want to see what's behind the battery if I remove it.  And also if the top panel of the dash when the storage bins is removable by taking out the the kex cap screws.  Here's a photo of the switch panel and USB charge port I took from the passenger side wheel well.  Not a lot of room to work from that angle. Might be more accessible from underneath the vehicle. I can't really tell without a lift.

I got this from another Massimo owner.  Looks like there is no easy way. 

T-Boss 750, same problem. Pop the switch pop-outs out, tape your wiring to something stiff like a coat hanger wire and extend the wire thru the hole from the back. Connect to the switch then pop the switch into the hole from the front. If you have a common +12 or ground to each switch, prewire a mini "harness" to go between the switch holes. You may have to reach the harness leads with a hooked wire from the front and pull it through. If you can see it with your camera you can get a wire to it. I was able to get to mine from in holes in front of the firewall area.

Bill, I installed another usb/battery meter in the open spot in the bottom left of your pic this weekend.  Took the front tire off for more room and used a flexible grab tool I had on the bench to pull wiring up to the battery.

Thanks , yes I wound up doing a similar process. There's no easy access, but the panel is reachable  by putting the front end up and removing the tire.  I added a voltmeter/charging port and a rear light bar switch.

I'm not sure on yours but for me on my 2017 MSU 500 adding this small LED Bar Rocker Switch was easy. I just felt where the dash is and did a estimate under the 4 wheel lock device and drilled a small hole then cut out the square for the switch. It worked perfect.  Looks like you have 6 blank squares. Maybe measure or drill a test hole?

      Coleman 2022 UT 400 radiator thermo switch replacement question
      By moonrover
      Mine is overheated/burned/melt at connection with its wire connector, parts are ordered to replace both them.  This seems to be a common issue, and some of you already replaced it. I right now just connect the wires, so the fan runs  all the time whenever the initiation is on, but it's better let fan runs as needed with a working temperature sensor/switch. 
      Question: Does some coolant come out by removing the switch/sensor from radiator?  Or, is the threaded hole all the way inside radiator?   If the answer is yes,  I want to drain or extract  some coolant to make its level below the sensor before replacing it, so I don't make a mess with coolant spilled out 
      Thank you.

      Seriously considering buying 2022 Axis 700 from Lowes… any regrets from current owners?
      By REDfletching
      Spent today at a Honda dealership looking at their 520 side by side, then on the way home past our Lowes noticed they had several new UTVs on site, so we U-turned and ducked in there. We were impressed that all that came for $9,999 metal whole length skid plate, nice sized bed, roof, windshield, side mirrors, winch, upgrade looking tires… all of which would have added thousands of dollars to an already expensive Honda 520. Now Honda does have a great reputation from my trusted UTV experienced buddy, so it has that going for it.

      Massimo quality and maintenance
      By JSmojo
      I've been looking at various types of UTVs in the 400-700cc range. It seems that Massimo has a really good price point but I don't know much about their reliability and availability of parts. Been looking specifically at their T-Boss 550. I've heard the parts might be an issue because the network is smaller, but couldn't find much info from owners.
      Here are a few specific questions about them
      1. In your opinion, are the reliable? Specifically, have you hand any parts break that in your mind shouldn't have? 
      2. If you had one and got rid of it, what was the reason? 
      3. If you don't recommend Massimo, what would you recommend (even if it costs a little more)?
      4. How easy is it to find a place to service them? How easy is it to get parts if you want to service it yourself? 
      If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it. I'm also looking at the Hisun Sector 550.

      Massimo durability and parts
      By Smittay
      (posted a similar question to the Hisun folks) Looked at a lot of UTVs lately. Couple Questions about Massimo. Some people say they are just cheap with no customer service. Other people seem to have no problems with them.
      Any opinions on Massimo durability?
      Heard parts might hard to get. Is that true?
      What models are the best?
      If you had one and didn't like it what do you recommend?

      Massimo Buck 400 overheating
      By KMart
      I have a Massimo 400 Buck that overheats and the antifreeze blows out of the motor everywhere! I don’t have to be doing anything but just driving through the field.  It only has 26 miles on it.  I don’t think the fan is turning to cool the motor.  Any ideas how to fix this?
