Unused buttons next to hazard button

The buttons on each side of the hazard button above the uconnect screen are unused. Is there any way to use or convert these into switches for a light bar or other mods that may need a switch? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

2020 Ram Rebel Ecodiesel, uconnect 12

I'd love to know the same. I see where in other models the buttons are used for other features. Looking at the 4gen Rams website I see where 1500s were retro fitted with Auxiliary switches. I don't see why we can't do the same with 5gen Rams. Looks like you need the switches, vehicle interface and the auxiliary wired that you plug into under the hood. The only thing I am not sure about is how you make it all work together. When I asked a tech at my dealership he seemed annoyed at my question.

I was looking at salvage parts online thinking I could buy a 3500 screen and swap the buttons. I can't tell exactly from the online pics but the back of the screen has a metal base. I can't tell if it will come apart easily or not in order to switch the buttons.

Those switches can't be used for another function as they are going thru the BCM. Park assist can be added, also lane departure can be added, but very pricy.
