Is there another way to take it off? Mine wonʻt come off with sticky rubber thats included.

Yes, there are alternate methods, using a glue stick for example. For all instructions and tips and tricks, go to car-analysis.com/BMW-Crystal-Series-installation.htm and check both under Volume Button and Start Button.

Hey man a quick question: Is the new start button supposed to stick out a bit? It feels kinda weird since the original one was a bit recessed
@car-analysis Жыл бұрын
Yes, it is intentional, for copyright issues among other things.

Can I just walk into my car and do this? Or do I have to disconnect anything to make this change?
@car-analysis3 жыл бұрын
Yes you can, as the installation of the Crystal Start/Stop button does not affect anything electrical.

Pardon,I just want to know is the crystal from Swarovski?
@car-analysis2 жыл бұрын
No, but it is made using similar production techniques as Swarovski uses. It's diamond-cut glass.

I didn’t disconnect battery. Car wont go into gear now
@car-analysis3 жыл бұрын
It should be possible to install the Start/Stop button without disconnecting the batteries,, as no electrical parts are touched during the installation. When installing the Multimedia Controller knob and the Gear shift knob, it is necessary to first disconnect all car batteries for gasoline-powered cars. Otherwise you can cause a short which will make the car unable to go into gear. If this happens, most likely the center gear assembly panel and the gear shift knob have to be replaced. Buying used parts on eBay is the cheapest way to fix it.

No matter how many times I try, that damn button won’t come off. 😡 I must be doing something wrong.
@car-analysis2 жыл бұрын
When installing the , it is recommended that you let the sticky rubber set for about 5 minutes after you have attached and formed it, before trying to pull out the original start button. This will make the material stronger. If this does not work either, you can heat up the original start button slightly with a hairdryer set on Low before attaching the rubber. Other methods: 3) Drill a hole in the OEM button, fasten a screw in the hole and pull the button out with pliers, or insert a small Allen wrench in the hole and pull the button out. 4) Glue stick method: First heat up OEM button slightly with a hair dryer, then melt end of a glue stick and attach it to the button. Then hold the trim ring with pliers/cloth while pulling out the button.

The video is made for novice users, not experts. Also, it may take several attempts to remove the OEM button if you don't do it correctly. Tip: If it won't come off, try letting the rubber set for 5 minutes after shaping it, before pulling the button out.
