As far as MINI including a button with no functionality try this one, my car has wiring and bulbs for rear fogs however with out a toggle switch and programing they are not active. So this is actually par for the course for MINI. FYI MINI is not a premium car, its only marketed that way. That said the car is great fun to drive just don't expect much else. I feel your pain.

Then you don't have to look at a nonfunctioning button...lol

Then again I look at non used switches everyday. I NEVER use the fog lights, or the central lock, Or the big useless pie plate of a speedometer...
