Jaronx for BMW AC Knob Buttons 5’F10 F11,6’F12 F13,7’F01 F02,X5 F15,X6 F16

Perfect fit. Easy to install

Perfect replacement!

The knobs on the back seat air conditioning unit of my X5 broke off a few years ago, so I checked with the dealer about getting them replaced. They don’t sell the knobs so you would need to replace the entire unit at a cost of over $1000. For that much money, I was willing to live with it. Per the description of this product, you need the series. Google the year and the model and you can find the “model code” to make sure you order the correct knobs. As an example, a 2017 X5 is either a model code “F15” or “M F85”. I found this info on bimmer-tech.net. The knobs fit perfectly…BUT it did take some doing to figure out as there are no instructions. The kit comes with a black o-ring of sorts. 1) Start with this. There are three “prongs”, one slightly more narrow than the others. This narrow prong goes into the small area offset by a metal piece (if it were a clock, at about 1:30). 2) Once you have that in, put on the silver piece. It also has three prongs that are all the same shape. These prongs are at about 12:00, 4:00 and 8:00. Push it in until it clicks. 3) Then snap in the black button. Good luck.

i bought a used X5 (F15) and the "auto" knob on the rear climate system was missing. I ordered this part and 4 pieces are included in the small box. 1) an auto cap for the left side 2) a solid black cap for the right side 3) the silver trim piece ring and 4 the black rubber piece that goes between the silver trim piece and the climate system post. There are NO instructions in the box, so hopefully this gives you some guidance. Step 1: slip the black rubber ring onto the silver trim piece. Look at the other climate knobs in your car, they are pretty much all the same. This step cant really be messed up, but the smooth side of the rubber ring goes against the silver trim piece. Step 2: the black rubber ring has different sized tabs on the non smooth side that need to be lined up correctly on the climate system post. If you rotate the post and look inside, you will see 2 large gaps and one narrow gap around the inside edge. You need to get the 2 large gap parts of the rubber ring to go into the 2 large gap parts on the post knob. The grooves that surround the outer side of the rubber ring will give you some fine tuning guidance. Step 3): once the above is lined up, using gentle/gentle+ force the knob should snap into place. Rotate it a few times to make sure all is good. Then add the cap you need for your situation. I needed the left side, which is the "auto" cap, so once again, line it up with the green light that is mounted to the climate system and push it into place. from start to finish it about 3 minutes to figure it out as there are no instructions in the box.

I waffled back and forth between 4 and 5 stars - on one hand, the buttons look OEM, well-made, good fit, and function perfectly. So that's 5-star worthy. But on the other hand, the lack of directions deletes a star. There's no instructions period in the box. Then, when you go to their instructional video, the old button is already off (which is much more of a chore to remove than I had expected), and half of the new 3-part button assembly is already put together - which, just getting the 1st two parts aligned properly is more difficult than you'd think; it's not immediately apparently how the black and silver rings need to align. Then getting those 2 parts put on the console requires them to be in a certain position, which is more trial and error. At last, you go to snap the middle black button in place - and it took more force than I had anticipated. I thought I had it fully in, but after looking at it again, one side was cocked out, requiring me to push with even more force, which made me nervous. In the end, after about 10 minutes, I had them on and they look great new, but some well explained or illustrated instructions or a longer, narrated (or at least subtitled) more complete video would've probably made it a 2 minute job. If you have doubts, I'd say go ahead and get them, but just know, you'll probably be a bit annoyed at them by the time you're finished due to the trial and error involved in figuring out the fitment puzzle.

Perfect Fit, easy install

I noticed that one of the air conditioner knobs was broken off in the backseat of my BMW X5. Took it to BMW and they told me the entire unit would have to be replaced because "it looked like someone had kicked it in". Mind you, our youngest son is 20 and I'm pretty sure no one kicked it in. Long story short, I ordered this part. My husband installed it in less than 1 minute and the green light that shines through the auto side button still glows perfectly fine. Looks like its brand new. Thank you so very much!!! Happy Bimmer!
