E90 Climate Control button removal

acg2002us · 02-17-2023, 10:05 PM

Do these buttons just pry off? my a/c snowflake button is faded. I bought a replacement off amazon for $15.

Thank you.

Remove the unit, pop it apart and separate the PCB from the front. Buttons come out from the backside.

Go for it. I've always just taken the unit apart and cleaned it at the same time so I did it that way.

Yeah I always do buttons from the front, the amazon/ebay buttons differ slightly so if you want OEM just buy a used climate panel off ebay they all wear in different places so just buy one that has the button(s) you need.

Thanks! The $15 button off Amazon is good enough for me to replace a faded snowflake button. A OEM button isn't that serious lol
