Any blank/missing buttons, switches or toggles on the Countryman?

OK, maybe I'm a little neurotic but one thing that drives me crazy is when there are places for buttons, switches or toggles that have covers, fillers, or are just plain missing. With my 03' I was able to get the Euro toggle switch set which also gave me the fog lights to get rid of the empty switch that every US car came with.

I didn't think enough to pay attention when my dealer had a car to pay attention.

Anyone know if there are missing buttons on a loaded Countryman?

The only one that comes to mind is the middle button in front of the shifter, used for the auto start/stop fuel saver feature in Europe (not available in the US).

I've seen references to a front windshield heater button. One of the four round buttons on the bottom on the console. Anyone see that in the US?

The Countryman 2011 Owners Manual does show a windshield heater button (if that link is blocked, you can download from the MINIUSA Owner's Lounge).

Sorry, my earlier comment about the Euro auto start-stop button doesn't apply to a Countryman after all (that configuration is for an R56). The Countryman may have that button somewhere else.

Edit: yeah, the link got blocked out because NAM considers it to be a competitor website.
