I was told by the parts dept at the dealer that the new replacement switch needs to be reprogramed (or the car system) by the dealer. Any truth to this or have you had any issues replacing this panel?

Can this older style control be used on the 21/22 face lift models with touch control.

Sorry we aren't able to confirm this, we've not tried this ourselves.

If just one little light isn't worked on the panel, can it be replaced or does the entire panel need to be replaced?

[@SelectVehicleSpares]

As far as we know, you may need to replace the full panel.

@SelectVehicleSpares thanks for letting me know! Have a great weekend!
