What I suggest you do is consult an auto electrician or sparky and see if they can/are willing to do it for you and you supply them with the switch and centre console insert...maybe even supply the info in the above link to help them out, they 'should know' how to sort out the rest...
You can get the part no's for the switch and console piece here or by phoneing/going to a GMH spare parts outlet...
Also if you do a search in the 'How To' section here on the forum, you should get a thread with all this info and item part no's.

the traction control switch is very simple..and it can be done on the cdx, as long as it doesnt have esp.
all you have to do really is either, run a wire to the abs plug in the engine bay if you dont already have the plug under the ash tray

Just make sure the switch is hidden.
Traction control is there for a reason and if you prang it, and insurance notice the little switch there and twig.. they can wipe your insurance and the claim.
I can turn it off in my AH but to be honest its only useful if you are taking the car to the track.

The switch is a good idea, ive got one my self...... I did it differently though.......
I find my self driveing with it off more times then not, Many people have argued the point with me thats its a safetly device etc... but i like knowing when my wheels are going to let go then if need be power out of it rather then haveing a computer cut the engine power and apply the brakes to the offending wheel.
Though if you get a bit heavy on the go pedal your tyres dont last to long, for a small car it can lite them up easly enuff.
sigs are stupid
My car goes broom, all 91kw of it !
i dont think traction control applies the brakes. thats more esp, than traction control.
all traction control does i believe is cut power to the engine.
