I had mine done recently at stickynomore. I sent them the entire AC unit instead of going through the trouble of removing the buttons myself.

I was thinking a sharpie might works as well. I guess it was too black & shiny.

Mine are showing a bit of wear so I might try a matte finish paint as opposed to the sharpie.

What year did they change over to the non-satin finished switches? I'm wondering if I can source an updated switch cluster on the second hand.

mid 2006, 2007. The AC unit says "AC OFF" instead of "ECO"

"AC OFF" means good buttons

I think I may just remove the rest of the finish and then repaint them. I think I can figure out the temperature and fan quickly, and rarely would I have a passanger that couldn't figure it out either. It might clean up the look a tad too.

I recently found a solution! it´s a complete kit that takes 10 minutes and you can install it yourself. It´s sold at climarepair.com

Here some pics (before and after):

I just ordered them from Climarepair.com too. Paid in Euros, and there's free shipping. Total cost was around $35 US. Let's see if they ever get here! Could take forever!

I have sent things overseas and usually take 6-10 days... Plus climarepair sends it's orders certificated, so it will definitely arrive!

Click on "Buy - English" and then click on the product image or the product name, there is a description!

This is the link for the product description:

Yeah. And the whole purchase experience has been great thus far. They've already sent tracking info. I should have it in 7 days. I'll keep you posted.
