    Hi guys, question:

    My current console:
    [heat] [DSC] [Hi-Fi] [heat]

    Console I found:
    [heat] [DSC] [TPMS] [SPORT] [heat]

    Can I use this console and simply replace the TPMS button with my Hi-Fi button?

    The reason I ask is because I recall reading a caveat somewhere that buttons need to retain their positions or something like that. I thought this thread would be the perfect place to ask.

    Thanks in advance!

    Not positive but I do believe the buttons have to retain their positions as you stated. I do believe you need:

    [Heat] [DSC] [Hi-Fi] [Sport] [Heat]
    BAV Stage 1 - BlueBus - UltraGauge - V1 - Orion V4's - ARC-8's - Brembo 996
    TTFS Engine/SMG Tune/CSL 255 - SGT Headers/Sect 1/SCZA - Evolve Eventuri
    VIS XTS CF Hood - CF Lip/Console/Diffuser - OE CSL Trunk - BWS 500S 9k/11k

    Using brackets to describe the buttons is a great idea but we also need to know the position of the blanks. Regardless of how many buttons were needed, the three I disassembled all had 7 positions on the circuit board inside. All 3 were from 2005-2006 cars though so not certain this applies to all.

    As an example, mine and John's convertible's look like:

    [HEAT] [TOP-UP] [TOP-DWN] [DSC] [TPMS] [BLANK] [HEAT]

    So we need a panel with all 7 buttons, including SPORT. A convertible M3 looks like:

    [HEAT] [TOP-UP] [TOP-DWN] [DSC] [SPORT] [TPMS] [HEAT]

    The DSC is one position off. The actual buttons themselves look electrically identical so I came up with the theory that it was the position that dictated the function. At the time, John's car was in the shop so I didn't have any way of testing this theory I just went with it and swapped the DSC and SPORT buttons. If my theory is correct, the DSC button wouldn't work in the other position but since I didn't test this I can't say for certain it is correct.

    I was thinking of doing something similar.

    Assuming I buy a Dynavin, I will no longer need my HK button. I would then just pull that and replace it with a Sport button so I still have the 3 button panel - [DSC][HK][TPMS] - for my light(er)weight car . I think this should be fine since the sport button is wired straight to the sprint booster.

    Next step, find a sport button and buy a Dynavin...

    William, I'm not sure I get that. Why wouldn't just putting SPORT in the BLANK spot work then?

    because I assume the HK button would no longer do anything since I would no longer have a stock head unit. If that is the case why would I need the "speaker" button

    edit: is the button tied to the amp or the head?

    Sorry JP, my comment was to William. I edited it. BTW, I'm not sure what that HK button is tied to as I don't have one.

    Not sure I understand what you're asking. When we use the term BLANK we mean a spot that there is no button or hole in the panel to put a button.
