emira steering wheel button group buy

[Eagle7]

I had ordered a set from @GRP and just installed them. They are SO much nicer than the factory haptic buttons. No more accidentally changing the center display because the palm of my hand brushed across the buttons. I think they look better too. I always thought the haptic buttons looked kind of cheap.

Seems like these are hard to find. Anyone know where to find them in stock?

I had to wait several months after ordering mine for them to arrive, and that was before the tariffs. Who knows how long it's going to take now, although it might be faster oddly enough since from what I'm reading, Chinese manufacturers are desperate for orders.

Might be a stupid question, but is there any way to disable the touch function on the stock buttons?

I recently received my after purchase survey from Lotus and I added in the comments about this steering wheel haptics issue. Here is the reply I received yesterday from the “Field Operations Manager”:

“Thank you for your feedback on the steering wheel touch / swipe control. This has been fed back to the engineering teams for future product enhancement consideration.”

Hopefully a future update will give us a disable option.

I like the look of the stock controls, but they are totally style over function. Every time I try to change to the next song I end up on navigation or some other setting.

That would be amazing and exactly what I want.

Honestly the stupid touch buttons are prob the worst thing about the car. I hope we get a solution that is available soon.

OP in late March. Tariffs landscape changed soon after. Possibly the cost situation has changed.

 

[KJD]

The OP’s plan didn’t survive the encounter with reality.

If @GRP and @Aerie (who were able to source these previously) couldn’t get them (even before the tariff situation), then the entire world’s supply has been hoovered up already.

Now, with the tariff nonsense, it would seem that those of us who didn’t get in first time round are in for an indeterminate wait.

They are still available. I bought some brand new ones when I was in China for my own personal. Now to import in bulk is whole different dynamic which probably OP does not want to deal with since the tariffs.

Thank you!

 

[chirowolf]

Thank you for posting this. Was hoping I could get some numbers from the part but no love. Even tried the QR code.
If anyone comes up with something please post

looks like it to me. great catch. I wonder if you ordered if you would actually receive the correct part or the new updated part we already have?

buying the set would be about $180 shipped to the US

Edit: OK be careful with this link although the page clearly shows both right and left sets of buttons when your order details come through in the email it states it is just the left side button set. You need to go back and order both left and right button sets, it is not obvious how to do that but there is a small link in the centre of the page "Color : Left Side" you can click on the photos under that to order the right button set.

Thanks I've ordered a set. £170 for both sides including shipping to the UK. Should be here in 4-6 weeks.

 

[Syzygy]

I tried to order one but the site kept freezing after I hit pay and wouldn't show a confirmation. No idea if it went through or not. Sigh.

Not at all unfortunately
