as for the buttons, does anybody know how they are lit? and would it be easier for me to buy new buttons for the center console and modify them? or just work with what I've got... as I understand it, the buttons are somewhat complexly lit, so it might be easier to buy new ones and start with that. where would I get them?
Take it from two guys who have looked for every angle possible around these buttons "It is not financially possible" It is not as simple as an on off switch each button has its only little circuit board and impedance load. The more complex the buttons duties the more work. If you are board pull your radio out pop the top center console plate off, take your buttons out from behind and pull off the illuminating cover. You will see a red and yellow led depending on which cover you pull off. flip the button over and you will see where the problem lies.
