Any advice for the bezel installation?

It simply goes over the factory bezel with the pre-applied 3m tape.

I did this with the blue version and now the auto start stop button is always on. Hitting it does nothing, turned the car off and on and switched back from sport to comfort. Any ideas?

It's possible when you took the button all apart that the circuit board isn't lined up with the physical button that you press and it's stuck without being able to engage , I would take button apart again and try reinstalling everything

Thanks Andrew. Here is a pic with blue for those interested

Can you please post some more pics because that seems to be a lighter blue color than the advertised one on the other thread.

Or you could just use double sided tape, stick it on the button then pull it out (doesn't require much force just pull it fast), replace with red or bleu button and youre done.
