Hey guys,

Is there a way to make the 2 blank buttons next to the ASR button into switches?

I want to add switches for a sub and interior lights.

I've attached a picture highlighting the buttons.

Has anybody managed to do this?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I believe the easyest way is to source an higher trim switch panel and then modify it according your needs ...

Something like this...

I've tried searching part numbers for the LHD model but can't find any parts that have pictures to confirm the switches are the opposite way around.

I may take it apart after work today and see if it's possible to cut off the clips holding them in and mount push switches behind them.

It's not possible i'm afraid. Behind the switches is a canbus controlled circuit board that runs the full length of the panel. If you modify it to allow a regular switch to operate in it's place, you will risk losing the function of the rest of the buttons, or worse, end up with a canbus communication error which will require hooking up to perform a proxi alignment.

Hi Brickfoot,

are you sure about this CAN bus ? I've checked in eLearn different wiring diagrams that make use of that switch panel and they all seem to be simple PB switch / LEDs just hardwired to the body computer ...

Yep, there's an IC Chip on the PCB board, knack that and you're in for trouble

I've had mine apart to see if i could fix the faulty boot release button. I remember the plug having 4 wires (i think). My sporting has 5 buttons, all controlled through the PCB and out through these 4 wires. Buttons on mine are Boot, City Steering, Locking, Hazards, ASR. The circuit behind them all route through the IC then to the plug.

Then eLearn has wrong diagrams !?


Here is an excerpt of the 14 Tjet section, it clearly shows direct connection from the Panel Switch 's PB (H090) to the body computer (M001), strange ...

This is the connector on the back of the switch panel. (wasn't 4 pins that i originally thought)
When i had it disconnected (good few month ago) I got a flashing mileage on my dash when i forgot to reconnect it before ignition on.
