Morning folks. This is about my 2012 Panda Easy, which came equipped with the Techno pack and the associated finger tip steering wheel controls.

My apparently aggressive scrolling through phone contacts and media tracks on means the little rubberised grips on the steering wheel scroll/rocker switches have been wearing down. Both are now almost smooth, and one is partially detached.

Does anyone know if replacements are available? Or do Fiat expect me to buy an entire steering wheel

Many thanks!

Not sure about Fiat, but Citroen expected a friend to replace the whole steering wheel (really not joking). He just replaced the button himself from a junkyard and about half a day of faffing about trying to not set the airbags off (I had told him to disconnect the battery and let the car sit for a day, he didn't listen).

They appear to be available seperately.

I presume that part code is for the complete set of finger tip controls, wiring etc? Still seems like overkill when the electrics are working fine.

That said a month after buying the car I noticed the coloured band of plastic that sweeps around the 'frame' of the dashboard fascia hadn't been fully spray painted on the far side of the shelf. Dealer wanted to replace the entire dashboard unit, binnacle and all. I decided to live with the blemish.

From the ePER diagram it looks as though it is.

Probably the wiring is spot welded into the switch contacts so wouldn't be a seperate part of the switches
