the reason it's expensive is because the buttons are not available separately. IT's one entire set of buttons. There is a CAN controlled control unit behind there as well with the bottons.

On mine you flip the ashtray door half way open (use painters tape so you dont scratch it), undo two torx screws (you might need a flashlight to see them), and then the trim piece comes loose. The button assemblies can then be removed by removing a couple screws from the backside of the trim piece. It's a 10 minute job.

Are you in the US? The steering wheel in your last pics says you are in Asia. For the electrical problem that you are having, bring it back to the dealership to have them take a look at it.

What you will have to do is remove the entire upper peice. That's all. It's just clipped in, so you don;t have to remove anything else.
To remove it, just pry on it at the sides being careful. it is only held in by clips but they are pretty strong.
I'm sure those buttons can be purchased seperately but if I were you, I would just tell the dealer they are messed up and you want them replced under 12/12 warranty.I can;t really tell why you want them replaced because the pics don;t really show much. but if you can;t get them to do it, then do it yourself.
Honestly, that peice is so easy to replace, most of the $250 is the price of the part, so why waste time with it? let them do it and keep that F%^% perfume bottle away from you eletronics!!!!
YOu need to visit them anyway because of your bulb issue. That's certainly. warranty.

you wouldn't have so many problems if it wasn't for that perfume bottle! IT could be shorting the CAN signals out and giving all kinds of weird errors. Don't blame mercedes for this one.
The piece is a real pain to pull. It's held in real tight. I use a set of pull hooks to get it out.
