I'm installing a stick-grip-mounted trim switch (coolie hat) on each switch, with a selector switch on the panel to determine who's trim system is active.  I'm envisioning a "You've got it" coincident with switching the trim control knob from left to right -- it's unambiguous who's in control.  Advantages include a bypass for a broken coolie hat switch (just turn the trim control switch to the other side) and no possibility of a passenger inadvertently changing the trim.

Besides, if someone is groping in your crotch to change the trim, I'd imagine plenty of "nose up" available but very little "nose down"! <g>
