Radio button... How screwed am I?

Short version.
Wife's 2016 Countryman S with standard radio.
Carwash folks knocked off the right half of the center round push button on the radio.
No where to be found.

A quick internet search reveals nothing.
Is this even going to be available without buying an entire radio?

Thanks.

Car wash is paying, not me.
Button clearly appears to snap in place.
Seems the buttons would be available somewhere, maybe salvage?

Salvage wouldn't pull a button off a good radio unit. You need a dead one, try Ebay. Probably in the vacuum cleaner bag or cannister of the car wash.

Let me ask another way.
Is it physically possible to snap a new button into this unit?
Or is it broken in such a way that actually requires replacement of the entire unit?

Do the buttons simply snap in, or is it actually "broken"?

Pry up the other button and see if you can put it back on. Someone with a 3D printer could probably recreate one.

If it's a snap on part, maybe try contacting MINI USA (or your region). Maybe they'll send one as a good will gesture?
or 3D printed as suggested

Exactly my question.
Is it a snap on part?
The car is still under full warranty, and I'll be letting the dealer handle it.

Think its a clip in part with a little spring. I would have to check, but yea its part of the radio. The only parts you can get separately is those two radio spinner **** beside it.

Most likely they will replace the whole unit.

Exactly what my dealer says.
Will be repaired under warranty this week.
Thanks.
