I hope I'll explain:
I just installed the "TV in motion" module and I reinstalled everything.
I then noticed that the Bar that hosts the PDC and DSC buttons appears recessed (half a cm) from the central trim and I don't remember if it was like that or if I need to check the trim installation and make the black bar line up with the trim (and then the buttons will come out a bit).
Please, let me know (at least a good pic of that particular would be greatly appreciated).
thanks
Luca

The black plastic bit housing the buttons is almost exactly flush with the wood or aluminum trim piece, not recessed nor protruding out.

Hmm, i think mine sticks out from the wood just a tiny bit, like a mm or 2.

it is almost flush. but as long as it does not flex and make any creaking noise, don't worry about it.

Mine protrudes a small amount. I would imagine that a tad recessed would look just as good.

How could I do without this forum?!?
I solved the problem: when I reinstalled the central Trim I left the Buttons Bar inside the consolle and, this way, I couldn't have it snap in the trim.
I then removed it and pre-snapped it into the trim.
Everything went Ok.
Thanke everyone.

You are welcome. Did your's turn out flush or protruding slightly?
