Steering Wheel Press-Type Buttons Now Available from GRP!

[Rapture]

I installed the new buttons today. They really are much better. I'm actually going to start to use the voice control now that I can successfully access it. Much easier to turn the heated seats off/on with that.

Installed the new buttons today. Some steps that helped me:

• Disconnect battery
• The spring clips for the airbag - they push inwards towards the steering wheel center axis (not fore or aft relative to car body). I used a thicker punch tool to lightly push inwards. You can feel it acting like a spring when you make contact.
• To disconnect the airbag connector, you push down gently on the top of the connector (I used a screwdriver), then the connector released very easily.
• The piano black piece is removed from this really high density foam. It looks like you would need to undo clips but you don't. You just need to slowly pull around the circumference to release the features on the plastic from the foam.
• Four 1.3mm hex screws are on the stock controls. Careful! One tried to strip on me.
• Once those are removed, gently pry from between the controls/foam. There are 3 features that hold it in. 2 are on the inside edge of the buttons where there are holes in the plastic.

Finally got around to doing mine just now (bought the parts months ago!), and found your post afterwards

A good set of tips, especially on removing the piano black ring/surround piece - good to know I struggled with the clips for no reason - but a small correction regarding the tiny screws: to get do not need to be removed, as they aren't holding the controls in.

Greg,

Are you still able to track these down? Will you have them in stock again?

Greg,

We have been getting them in waves. Likely the next batch will be around the end of the month.

Tried ordering but says SOLD out and does not give option to pre order.

 

[GRP]

Because of the limited supply of these we are not taking pre-orders currently, sorry.
Hoping we will have more in the next 2-3 weeks.

Any news on these?

 

[hoho]

I could really use a set of these right now, still waiting for them to come back in stock.

Any news, Greg?

 

[GRP]

Same story here unfortunately.
Just waiting for our vendors to round up some more.

I'm pretty late to the party, but wondering if any more are coming for 2026?

We should have some more next month at some point.

Any updates here - would love to get some to go along with the custom steering wheel I have coming from you

Does anyone know of a source for these buttons in the UK?
Given the fun and games with Tariffs etc I'd prefer to get them locally if at all possible

I got mine from a link on here. I think it was to Aliexpress

 

[Gizmo750]

Same here, no issues with the process of ordering or the product itself, a little surprised actually

Dont suppose you have the link handy do you?

No. It’s somewhere here on this forum as that was how I ordered mine, but it was over 6 months ago

Just as an FYI, the link directly above is price per side and they are confirmed as second hand. So, you may or may not get a "like new" version.
