6R & 6C centre air vents and buttons

Post by Aquavalver »

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?

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!

Wow! That sounds like a lot of work!
