Instructions for Replacing Air Conditioning Control Buttons

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Air conditioning

Replacing the air conditioning control buttons is extremely simple and can be done directly in the vehicle, but for convenience, it is suggested to remove the center console panel. This operation is also very simple as the panel is secured with two side clips similar to those found in car radios: just press the sides to release the clips and pull the control panel from its housing. Finally, to remove the buttons, simply pry at the center, on the bottom of the button itself, to release it. Reverse the process to install the new buttons.
