Has anyone tried this?

Yes, I have tried these and still have stickers left over. They are pretty good, and definitely helps cover up a badly worn button. Only issue I find with these stickers, is the light output on the buttons after you put the stickers on.

OK. Does it looks like a sticker on a button or does it look "factory" except the light output issue?

Thanks.

Honestly.. it does look like a sticker on a button and not really a "factory" look, but its your cheapest and best option rather than replacing whatever part you are trying to cover with the stickers. I also forgot to mention, I put the stickers on the number pad on the radio, and the number font is significantly smaller than factory size.

What buttons are you looking to cover up with these replacement stickers?

I actually found some before/after photos of the stickers on my radio keypad. Although you will see in the second photo that it may look "factory" but in person it doesn't look that good, it looks ok, but way better than before.

Thanks for the information and pictures. Yeah, I can see it's not exactly factory. I was looking to put it on the forward, radio on, and unlock doors buttons.

I just called the dealer and they said 45 dollars for the unlock doors button (ex. installation) and that the entire unit had to be switched out for the radio buttons for 1,500 dollars or so.

No problem. Glad I could help.

The unlock door buttons aren't bad for $45, might be an easy DIY but I don't know. Personally, for the unlock buttons I would buy the actual buttons over the stickers.

As for the radio unit, if you really wanted to switch it out, you could always buy a used radio unit on eBay from a salvaged car being parted out, and then if your original radio is working fine, you could sell it.

Thanks for the tip.

I bought a set of decals from http://controlbuttonrenu.com. I replaced the radio, 1, 2 and 3 buttons.

Agree that it doesn't look OEM but it's better than scratched. I can live with how it looks compared to replacing the whole radio.
