I bought set off eBay for my old NAV radio and they worked pretty good. Just need to wipe down the old buttons with some isopropyl alcohol so they stick well. I think I had them one for about 2 years before I put in a new HU.

I have them too. The problem with them is at night the worn away area from the original button shows through. I wasn’t smart enough to think that far ahead. If yours do better I’ll buy another set.

I got the stickers the other day and was planning on getting them on this weekend. @Big Mama, Thanks for the comment. I was wondering is the blank spaces underneath would show. Maybe I should try and clear the buttons of all the old graphics first? What would be the best way to do that, do you think? Maybe just sand them off?

Hey everyone, new to the forum.

Has anyone ever tried these "stickers" to cover up the worn buttons on their radios or climate controls?

This guy has a whole array of stickers for the buttons but I worry it may look tacky.


I tried these on my '07 controls. They were ok, but one or 2 did start to peel away at the edges after about a year.

Did you buy from this guy or someone else? He claims his are better than everyone else’s.


I don't remember it was a few years ago. And I since had to replace my HVAC control anyway so all the buttons are nice shiny new now.

Try some type of solvent and see if the remainder comes off before sanding. Might make a smoother button. Might also confirm the power button for hvac is in the set. The one I got didn’t have it.

So I got my stickers this week.

Unfortunately, I have the dreaded "Reduced Power" issue I'm dealing with, so I hope to try and work on the buttons this weekend. But my first impression is that they look good. I think the success will come from doing the prep work correctly.
