Silver Buttons
« on: June 10, 2009, 06:51:28 pm »
Hi guys, I was wondering, after looking at a few GTI's for sale I noticed that some have silver buttons rather than black around the radio/sat nav, is this an optional extra?

Thanks

iirc pre 07 cars came with the black buttons and  07 and later got the silver ones.
Without traction power is nothing!

Can they be fitted to the older cars? Purchase them from VW?

Probably not as that's how the audio manufacturer supplies it to VW and I doubt those parts will be available as spares.

Mines a 56reg, came with black buttons on radio, a search on fleabay won a silver buttoned one (with code card)
for £60, swapped them over and sold the black buttoned one for £45.
