looking to replace a dead slot on the dash with a button

**drumnjuny** · 12-30-2015 08:10 AM

not having any luck searching the interwebs, wondering if any of you have replaced these dead keys with buttons.

preferably with a light & backlight but at this point any leads are valuable.

Goal is to hardwire my radar detector's mute button to it. I did it in my b7 a few years ago but haven't found anyone who has done it on a Q5 yet, so i don't know if there are any buttons that fit here. I've seen S5's which come with traction control & drive select buttons, but I don't want to have any duplicate buttons on the dash.

closest hit i've found is "ESP OFF" button, which i guess might be the euro button for traction control, and no light. hoping for something better

My ESP off switch is right there (not a euro thing). It is also lit up just like everything else.

I would love to find some generic switches to put there as well. I hate blank plates in the interior.

i found that those are actually all 3 switches on each side, one module per side. so i have given up on that and started to search for the Auto start/stop or spoiler button that fits next to the coin holder.

more info: just found this randomly. I would love a blank button to be honest, any button works i guess but would prefer one without a nonsensical label such as the spoiler button.

either way great pictures from this page...
