Let me start by saying this little red aluminum cover gave my 2017 Audi A4's interior an instant facelift. The anodized red finish matches my OEM lighting perfectly, and the installation truly took less than a minute - just peel and stick!
The quality feels premium, not some cheap plastic sticker. After six months of daily use, mine still looks brand new while protecting the original button from wear. No more worrying about peeling edges or metal shavings from the factory button.
However, there are some important notes: First, CHECK YOUR BUTTON TEXT! This only fits models with "Start Engine Stop" labeling. Second, skip the extra double-sided tape - it creates an annoying gap that reveals the silver underneath. The included 3M adhesive works fine alone.
One major warning: These are nearly impossible to remove without damage. One reviewer destroyed their OEM button trying. Also, the cover slightly dims the backlighting - not ideal for night driving.
In summer, that metal gets HOT. I've learned to use my knuckle instead of fingertips on scorching days. And while most Audis fit perfectly, a few models (like 2018 A3) reported compatibility issues.
Bottom line? At this price point, it's a fantastic cosmetic upgrade that solves common wear issues on Audi buttons. Just install carefully knowing it's basically permanent, and maybe keep a spare OEM button handy just in case!
