Put gear select mid point (N / D), turn off ignition.
Push mid sides of gaitor in towards gear select and it will release and come out.
Remove the gear display strip on RH side.
Push up old switch from below, un-plug & replace with new.
Replace all in reverse... done!

If you don't have keyless start do you still get the nice round start button ? Was wondering about changing mine on the RS4 to one that said "start engine"

Thanks - will have to decide if gutting the start button is worth the effort - looks much nicer than mine as mine is just silver button.

Bit of an old thread I know but just ordered mine today with delivery expected Friday. I assume the gator is just as easy to replace once you are reversing the process?

Oh, and the price has gone up to £45 for the button! And there are only two left at the warehouse if anyone else is interested.

Mini Challenge 210 Edition - sold
