I've been looking at, quite frankly, a lot of possible things to add to and replace on my Prius 2nd Gen. One of those things is dash kits. Granted, getting one is a little down the road for me because I'm saving for a trip, but looking at the images for all the kits I've seen so far shows only 4 buttons on the sides of the MFD. My Prius came with the 7 buttons. Does anyone know if that will affect anything? Another thing is I actually am looking to replace one of those buttons, specifically the climate button. It was worn when I bought the car and it just looks tacky. But I can't for the life of me find anywhere online with replacement buttons. I would think a button would be a relatively simple thing to replace? Attached a picture for reference on the button. All the other buttons are fine.
a lot of times the buttons on dashes and steering wheels aren't meant to be removed, and you either have to be a wizard at taking stuff apart or buy the whole assembly. you might find a good deal on an undamaged MFD on ebay.
