The preset buttons on my Bose radio fall off..

All 6 are on there. But earlier, just from one sticking to my finger, it fell off.

Is there an easy fix for this?? Its a 2001 A6 2.7t with the CD & tape in dash.

Hi,
I have the same car. My trunk button (on driver's side) popped off too.

If it's just the buttons someone will probably suggest checking out junk yards (there are some web sites they recommend often). DO NOT go to the dealer - they'll charge an arm and a leg.

How many miles are on yours? Just wondering if things start "falling off" after a certain number.

Let me know what you find out.

Can't say anything about the radio buttons however the trunk button crapped out on me too. I paid $20 at the dealer for the part which seemed like a lot for a hunk of plastic and a small bulb but hey it was bugging me so I did.

Got it home and you can pry the old switch out with a screwdriver, and pop the new one in, really simple install as long as you have the new part.

RE: The preset buttons on my Bose radio fall off..

Anyone know if the buttons alone are sold? It seems a few have broken tabs on the backs that keep them in place. My '6' preset is the only normal one. The rest are very loose & if they stick to your finger they come off...
