Switched it and here's the hum-free circuit. This is why I used a breadboard to mock things up. Using the same DIN8 cable assemblies from Digikey, the orange wire is audio signal ground and the brown wire is +12V. When either the cassette player or radio is on, either component supplies power to the preamp section and EQ via the DIN8 cable. One more thing, the power antenna is controlled via the on-off push-button volume control, even if a tape is playing. The cassette player will still run whet

Believe it or not, I only ended up going through two prototypes.  The third one fit on the screw head perfectly.

You'll need six of them.  I painted mine using some mist coats of black and grey.  It's nowhere near a match for the originals but they don't stick out either.

The sun visor bushing I made snaps in and out of the clip easily.

The bushing on the sun visor.  This is also a good time to wash the fabric while it's out.  Soap, water and scrubbing is also you need.

The horn button fitted in the car.  For the horn button, you'll need to make the back conductive.  I used a layer of aluminum tape and two M6 flat washers taped in place.

The printed custom horn button.  Using an existing Momo empty horn button, Mazda text and a little horn symbol converted from an SVG image.  I suggest double-checking the diameter of the horn button against the original part.  I checked mine with a digital caliper and had to scale it down in Prusa Slicer.

This is what I had in mind.  The clip on the left serves as a reinforce snap-in and snap-out while the one on the right is simply a hook that holds panel in place at the other end.

The sensor bracket includes slots that allow you to adjust the TPS sensor position.  Be sure to use washers with your fasteners.

Revised panel printed on its side and fitted to an S4 center console.  It fit without issue and nothing snapped off when installing and removing.

Underside.  The hooks hold the rear/bottom securely and it does hold the panel in place.  But if you have a lot of stuff inside the center console, the front/top tabs may not be enough to hold the panel down.
