IND Red M1/M2 Buttons Install updated
Hello All,
Here is a DIY on how I installed the Red M1/M2 Buttons Its pretty simple just need some patience with the button tabs. Here are the tools I used 16 mm socket Torx T20 socket Impact gun Electronics phillips screwdriver Electronics flat head or tiny pick I'm assuming you know how to remove the airbag If you dont watch this *UPDATE* Now remove the 16 mm bolt with a impact or ratchet. Then the two connectors. Pay attention to the position of this alignment indicator for re installation Last edited by HKMP7; 05-11-2019 at 02:10 AM.. |

Once you remove the trim it will give you access to this T20 torx bolt. This one removes the left paddle.
After removing the paddle you will have access to this T20 torx bolt. This is the bolt that holds on the button pod. Last edited by HKMP7; 05-07-2018 at 11:54 PM.. |

Here are the Red buttons vs the factory ones
To remove the buttons you need to pry the tabs outward over the notch and then the button will come out Last edited by HKMP7; 05-08-2018 at 12:03 AM.. |

Putting the new ones in is as easy lining it up and pushing it in until you hear the click.
When putting mine in I noticed it was a bit tight so I took a nail file and filed off a bit of the red paint near the tabs then it was perfect. While your steering wheel is off take some time and clean it up. I plan to use Colourlock alcantara cleaner and a Marvis toothbrush. Last edited by HKMP7; 05-08-2018 at 02:58 AM.. |

Just FYI, removing the steering wheel is not mandatory.

Here is a picture taken when I installed the mp steering wheel. Note my steering wheel was still on the car and the controller was removed.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the OP for this guide!
Hardest part was removing the airbag, but a couple of YouTube videos helped with that. Thanks to this thread I just changed my buttons, but to the blue ones from IND. |
