Moving Traction Button, Can it be done?

[ben5560]

I want to buy the California brushed silver trim pieces and noticed they have various options, one of which is 'without 3 buttons' so I think it would be neater if I can get that one, and move the traction control button to underneath the front window defog button. The button is the same shape, so it should be in theory possible right?

Trying and see? I suspect there wont be enough length in the loom to extend it that far.

Yeah suspect no one has tried it, extending the loom will be one thing, but as for physically removing a blank button and fitting an actual one?

I have got the trim without the buttons, mainly as the dealer ordered the wrong part. The button is now tucked behind out of use.
Anyway, I added a shortcut on the infotainment drop down for the TCS so can still access it fairly quickly rather than going through all the menus.

Which one did you order? You have a picture? Looking at either the brushed silver or the pewter wave.

Thats a good idea - i'll let you know if i find I can move the button to the centre of the dash. I have loads of poverty spec blanks in there!

I got the brushed silver ones. I wish I had done the caravelle colour trim too kind as did the whole lower dash and door cards.
Did the window switches and all the gloss black bits.
Depending on your infotainment if you drag down and press and hold the icons you can change them all

Thats awesome thank you, exactly the look i am going for. I did notice i could do the black plastic option as well and perhaps follow that over to the passenger side. Also intrigued what the 'grey wood' option looks like, but can't find any images of it.

 

[PaulR83]

Not heard of grey wood, but someone on here did get the normal wood one and posted it. Didn't look too bad.

Do you need different door cards for those door handles?

 

[PaulR83]

Yes, you can't but them separately unfortunately. Plus they are plastic welded in.
May be able find some from a breakers.
The door cards were about £260 each and the metal effect trim a further £90 odd each. Crazy.
