Ok so there have been a few hints dropped on these forums where people have said that they have blank buttons..... don't have all there toggles filled in. This is kinda unsettling because when i order my mini the only things im really getting are front and rear fog lights and cold weather pkg and...... thats it. No DSC or anything. So am i gonna have a mini with a cockpit filled with empty buttons and toggles. So if you have an empty dash or some answers fill me in.

 

i only have cold weather...but i only have 1 (?) button empty if i recall?

2 for windows, 1 lock, 1 dsc, 1 front fog light

 

the missing one is for rear fog light.

 

if u dont get DSC do u know if it entails an empty button?

 

Your toggle bank will be filled but you will have a couple buttons by the shifter that are blank. All US cars have at least one blank button... its used for the Windshield Heater which can only be ordered on Minis sold in the UK.

 

I have to disagree. The missing toggle would be for the rear fog lights required by law in Europe. You can easily purchase a new bank of toggle switches, not just replace the single switch that it missing. A little rewiring may be in order also.

 

Ok thanks.

On my current car there are a few blank buttons, that drive me CRAZY. At least you can find out what they were there for instead of a "mystery button".

 

its really not that bad riffster.

i never even notice that its blank *shrugs*

 

I plan on getting the rear fog tho, so i hopefully all toggles will be spoken for.

 

Huh i heard that MINIUSA sends some gag stickers that u could put in there place

 

hmmmm...MINI must've skipped putting that in my package

 

awww i heard if u call CS they will send u the package

 

Relax. It's not as bad as you're projecting. It's not bad at all.
Breathe deeply and say, "My Mini will be sweet!"

 

Well i know that but i want her to be... how u say... complete.

 

The 'buttons' are inconspicuous anyway.
The toggle switch bank contains 5 spots and will have 4 switches if you didn't order the rear fog light.

And what will 'her' name be and why did you choose it?
Mine was because of the color. Dragon green.

 

I was talking about Riffster's post. He said he was getting front & rear fogs but not DSC. So his toggles will be full. The DSC button is next to the shifter. As is Limited Slip Differential.

 

Debating on a name right now.

She's going to be Mellow Yellow. So thinking about "honey". But thats a little to sweet huh??

Any suggestions?

 

Wow thanks for the visuals! Those really help!

 

O im a girl. I drum and a riff is a section of music hence the name.

 

No prob. Its hard to describe so visuals are needed.

 

Sorry about that. I'm girl too.

Folks sometimes assume everyone's a guy on NAM... including me I guess.

 

Check out the threads that talk about naming your Mini -- there are some really GREAT suggestions there!

And the blank toggles really aren't very obvious. The "gag" stickers are pretty funny -- retractable tire shredders, ejection seat....

 

No worries.

Yeah so is DSC really needed all it looks lthat its helpful for is if ur learning how to drive a stick, which i have done for years, which is why i was gonna opt out.

 

i didnt get gag stickers! i got other cool stuff, but not that

 

it saved me when we had the ice/slush storm.....
