6R & 6C centre air vents and buttons
Just a quick question -does anyone know if the 6C centre air vent section and buttons also fit in a 6R? Obviously to fit the 6C buttons in a 6R, you need to change the air vent section as that has the button surround & holes, so just checking that there isn't anything preventing this?

Re: 6R & 6C centre air vents and buttons
Thanks! No worries, I can probably find that out. I see all your switches light up-do they all work including the sport mode one? Is it much work to get the passenger air bag working as it should? I have found out that there are 2 different black shades that the buttons come in (6R and 6C), so you need to be careful which ones you get as it's most annoying when they don't match!iichel wrote: Tue Feb 25, 2025 6:52 pm
