All,
I own a 2013 Mini Cooper S (R56). This morning one of my audio control buttons simply fell off. Within the speedometer circle the are control buttons below the Radio/Satellite presets. The button that fell of was between the two rotational volume and tuning ***** and are two half moon buttons with directional arrows. These two buttons circle the middle M button.

Does anyone have a fix for this or a place that I can either buy a replacement button or the entire volume/tuning control panel? I called the dealer and of course they have been discontinued.

 

This is the third gen (F series) area. Your R56 is a second gen car. You will have much more luck with an answer if you post in the second gen area.
