Guest FrantiC Report post Posted November 7, 2009 What's it look like ? They can be moved etc so kinda hard to tell if we can't see what button ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolliver 1 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 the one on the left... and also whats the thing on the far right??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted November 7, 2009 Button on the left is for your power windows, disables the windows. Far right toggles left right speaker variance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And same with the speaker leveler, what model has those? I have 2x blanks next to the demister & hazards...boring assed 318i nothing flash whatsoever It's like that on coupes. They just have 2 cut outs for a window switch either side on the center console, nothing else. 4 doors have 6 cut outs, all 4 windows, a 'rear window lock' button and 'lock all windows' button. My e30 also has 2 blanks there too.. Not really much you can put in there anyways, volume fader, hazard lights, rear demister, who knows what else.. I used to have a switch fitted to a blanking cover for my headunit up where those buttons are once upon a time though.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) I'd like to put one of them speaker levelers or whatever it is...of course wired up..are they common to find or pretty rare? And the other blank could be custom.. put a hole in it, put one of them small switches thru it and use it for the amp cut off or something. I might do that now.

Guest FrantiC Report post Posted November 7, 2009 Meh it's a waste of time IMO.. You can set left/right with your headunit anyways. And amps are headunit controlled too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shady 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) ^ Hahah...wtf? For real? ^ And what happened to FrantiC? And amps are headunit controlled too. Cant turn my amp off with the heady. Have to turn the sub right down -0 (ATT) before it stops which is a pain while driving..rather just a flick of a switch.
