Radio buttons cracking

PJ Gross · 03-19-2020, 06:30 PM

Anyone have the radio preset cracking? I think the woman who owned it before me must have used hand lotion or something? My #1 button has a crack right though it. Backlight shows through.

Is the number panel easily replaceable or available at dealer?

This is a 2015 335xi GT with the Harmon system if that makes a difference for the layout

Thanks, didn't think of that. Easy to r&r?

R&R?

It was pretty easy to swap out. It’s just clipped in.

You can see how to pull it out or at least get to it.

I have had this happen on two of my buttons. Really minor. You need the light to catch them just right to even notice the cracks so I haven't worried about fixing them. Thanks OBERT for the video...maybe be worth changing if it is a simple clip out and replace.
