Bought 06 Cayman S and it's almost perfect, but miss ing preset button. Kinda like missing a front tooth. Can you purchase these buttons? Or am I sinking another radio in it?

Congrats on your new purchase!

Hopefully, someone here will have an answer to your button question. Meanwhile, welcome to Carpokes!

Oops, wrong button. But it looks like the knobs also need replacing.

So sorry, I’m usually pretty good at finding stuff with a Google image search, but these presets aren’t out there right now. I even checked LA Dismantlers. Lots of used CDR24s on eBay, however, but you’ll be spending $$$ to get one button.

Good luck.

Paging @Tom any ideas? Can a preset button with a white dot be 3D printed?

Yes, but the challenge would be to get the color, texture and finish to match. On a row of buttons like that, a single 3D printed button would stand out, absent some real effort to match the look of all the others.

This is the cheapest used CDR24 I could find on-line. I’ve never used Mercari, but apparently it’s a legitimate site. Might be worth a try to reach out to the seller. Ad was updated in September.

In the past, I’ve bought entire items I don’t need, and won’t use, just to get a small part.

Inexpensive option and can always bid lower if you want. Can use this radio for other parts in the future if needed.🤙🏻

Thanks for the warm welcome!. Absolutely need to replace knobs , good link. I have buddy that was a Porsche tech trying to track down buttons . No big deal i took to work to align and brand new starter from Eeuropaparts took a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and im gonna have to address oil cooler leak as well that are gonna take priority at this time. car is awesome though. really want to refine this one . Other car is a 80 930 that will beat you to death the Cayman S is smooth comfortable power that you can drive all day.
