There are times when I don't want the step to deploy when I open the door. Specifically when parking near a curb and I am not sure that there is clearance for the step. I don't want to have the step hit the curb and get damaged. I think a switch near the door would be good for me. The magnet is an excellent idea, but a bit too much finagling, because I want to keep the step in before I get out.
