The knobs are fine it's the buttons that are smaller.

You should be able to get below the front panel of the AC to take the buttons off. I think BenAnd did this when he did his LCI CCC mod.

See https://5series.net/forums/topic/911...2#entry1078802

You know he has done that because he has no gap in the CCC trim and yet he has the LCI knobs. But the give away is the fact that he has TWO Max buttons The Max on the middle button in the pre-LCI AC is called Auto.

Cant change the buttons, the lci buttons on the basic IHKA are slightly different and they do not fit, I managed to damage my pre-lci panel in the process .

Glad you've managed to sort it mate,is the main CIC unit working as it should now?I'd love to do this but can't afford to due to a £3k 52"Sony3D TV and a new £2K Pioneer AV/Reciever!Maybe in a few month's time,loving my 530D M-Sport as it's never let me down and the power and drive quality are second to none.
