I can barely see it. I think if I put something sticky on a coat hanger I might be able to get it.



But I'm done with this. I don't like the panel anyway as changing from hot to cold is about 65 button presses.



I think this is a common problem, and I looked earlier at repair options and just ended up being confused. It seemed really hard and worse to attempt to repair these buttons.



Is there a good way to fix this short of replacing the entire control unit? If I have to replace the entire unit I believe there is a nice analog one from some rare earlier models with three dials. I would rather just get that and put that in but I imagine this would require some coding and potentially other changes? Does anybody know?
While attempting to change the appearance of the panel I thought that removing the buttons would make the process much simpler and cleaner... I was unsuccessful due to the fact that in no way short of damaging the unit was I going to remove those buttons...damn you BMW! You think of everything![emoji123][emoji38]
