Dome light activation from driver seat?

[dishe]

Is there a way to activate the dome light over the rear seats from the front?
I've got kids in the back who often ask to see something temporarily in the back, and the only way I've found to do it is to open my door for a moment (not a good idea when driving)!

Is there a switch/button/etc that I'm just missing, or are only the map lights accessible to the front?

I can reach back and turn it on while driving...

Really?? I'm 5'7", and my wife is 5'2". Maybe if I stretch I can reach it, but it would create an AWFULLY dangerous driving situation, especially on the highway...

So I take it there is no switch?

No switch up front man.

I installed a momentary button in one of the blanks to the left of the steering wheel. It activates a delay timer that grounds the door pin wire and will turn off after a set period so it can't be accidently left on.

Here's a link to the post and wiring diagram I came up with and used - http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123774494
