Any ideas on if this would fit ours?

[Dmb408]

Is this a cure for the rubbed button blues? I see the fits "S6 w/o navigation" listed...which makes me think it wouldn't fit RS6. Doesn't have same part number as ours but I don't see any visible difference.

It looks like it would. For $46 bucks buy it before someone else does :) I just bought a set of the stickers for temp relief. See if that works.

stubro i am almost thought of not posting for that reason, unfortunately if anyone gets saucy on here and thinks they can beat me to it, i can drive to that place in about 15 min from my house.

Seriously buy it. In the end they all will rub off, crappy design, but for $46 get it

I'll try to pick up today but most likely tomorrow afternoon.

That "off" button doesn't exist on ours. I believe you want part# 4B0820043AD (or -AM or -AR). http://www.abs-world-online.de/en/Heather---AC/Air-conditioning-control-panel-4B0820043AD-climate-control-unit-Audi-A6.html

Correct, that lower button on ours is auto detect circulate. Basically if the sensors pick up bad or dirty air they close the outside air intake and circulate internally through the cabin filter.

Bad buttons? I made sure to buy a clean one, almost all my buttons are perfect still, just keep nails off them...

Cool guys, yea my first car had good buttons but my second doesnt. The prior owner did replace the lights switch though so that is nice and new.

Does our HVAC unit come out with the same keys as our stereo head units? I have those keys, so if that is easy enough to remove I would probably send to this sticky no more place since the car is not a daily.

Just fyi, the finish on the part you referenced in your post will not match your stereo or other black bits. This is the earlier shiny black hard plastic as in 99-2002. The unit will work, just wont match...

Pre-facelift and the wrong part number so I doubt it would work.

That's kinda cool...maybe some people can just ship their car to them:)

Where do you buy the stickers to put over the peeling one? @Stubro

[stubro]

I got them on eBay. There are a few people that make them. Once I get them I will report back.

i don't know how stickers work, but buying a prefacelift AC panel was for me the best solution as they will never peel off again because they're not covered with that flaky rubberized paint. However, you need to get all the buttons from the pre-facelift unit and mounted into yours, is not a simple swap because the units are different, motherboards to be more precise.

An even cheaper solution, is to buy a prefacelift panel which is 1DIN, buttons are identical, except the ''off'' one which we don't have, but you could still use it as you know what it actually does, it is only a matter of icon being different but the function is ''auto recirc'.

There will be a very slight shade difference, as ours are soul black and the pf ones are gloss black, but barely noticeable.
