Mine is also missing a section in the giant O in Off (embarrassment of a display for a premium sports car). I read somewhere that the unit is an Audi piece, they are expensive and frankly I think the crappiest part of my car, I especially don't like the fact that you immediately have to turn it off everytime you start the vehicle instead of having an off default choice. I see them ob enbay every now and then if it really bothers you look there.

Rising Sun Syndrome

Last weekend we had the Box in a P-car show which was on a golf course in the hot sun for a few hours. Guess what my wife pointed out when she decided to turn the air on? Yup, the same orange disk sneaking in on stage left. Thanks to you guys, I can be a hero by saving some bux, as well as appearing to be a mechanical genius. All I have to R&R the kit I just bought on E-Bay

I've never seen that eBay kit before but that looks like the way to go. I know a replacement unit is ~$400 so the worst that can happen is you bust the one you're fixing and you have to buy a new one anyway. Seems like good odds to save $350.
