The connectors used are prepared for installation in the location intended by BMW, which facilitates integration with the vehicle's existing electronic system.

The original build quality helps maintain the stylistic consistency of the interior, and the appropriately selected housing and button materials allow for comfortable operation even with frequent use. As a result, this component can be used both as a replacement part for repairs and for restoring the factory interior configuration.
