Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade to glass buttons on my '09 4.7 Vantage.

There are many complete kits available online, but everything i've found so far comes with the "Sport" button (as fitted on later cars) instead of the "Comfort" button currently on my car.

Any clues on where i could find a kit with the appropriate button?

Thanks in advance,

Damianos

Hi Damianos, there is no Comfort Glass Switch available. As far as I know, you have to use the Sport Switch but the light works the opposite way.

Is your car perhaps Sportshift ?
I don't think I have a Comfort button on my 09 4.7 manual.

Thanks. It makes sense actually, as i think the glass buttons were introduced later on, when the change from "Comfort" to "Sport" had already happened.

It's indeed a Sportshift. This button is located on top of the center console, next to the gear selection buttons

I was able to flip the switch indicator to work correctly with my 2009 V8V. If there's interest, I can write up the project.
