Has anyone installed a switch in-cab to control the flex bed 12v power outlets?

I have a XLTremor that just had the blank 12v wiring doors in the bed. I put a 12v outlet on one for my fridge/freezer and on the passenger side i put in a lighted switch that controls 10 led lights I put throughout the bed and ARE topper. I love the lights but would like to be able to turn them on or off while driving. anyone have any thoughts on wiring that up? The easiest thing would be to find a switch that has a wireless remote and just install its relay inline before the light switch. Ideally though I would have a switch in the dash to control all the bed 12v power.

Here is my setup if you havent seen it in my other threads.

Thankyou. I have seen some like that. I used one once for a light bar relay on a 4x4 van but the remotes proved to be easy to lose and inconvenient to push the buttons. I think what I need is to pair a 4 button switch panel in the dash cubby with a wireless 4 gang relay box in the ceiling of the bed topper. I want to eventually put some exterior lighting on my roof rails and would use that to control 3 directions of lighting and then the bed lighting. I would probably leave the 12v outlet alone since it typically runs my fridge and it will either be on the whole time or off the whole time.
