    Thanks for that ebay link showing the front screw locations. Unfortunately I don't know how to get the F1 control panel off to access those 2 front screws.

    Once the ash tray is out, you can reach a finger or two up through the ash tray hole and under the F1 panel. There you'll find two tabs, one on the front and one on the back that can be pinched together which will allow the F1 panel to pop out.

    After remove ashtray, push the two rear metal spring tabs under the F1 control panel at the corner with thumb, and pry upward with plastic wedge. I stuck my iPhone 6 into the ash tray hole to take picture of underside to see where the tabs are. :D

    Remove CF center console from car. Squeeze the 4 steel spring tabs to get the Lock/Unlock and P sensor panel out.

    Incidentally Ferrari CF quality is really bad. Just look at the messy hand laid back side!

    Hi!

    I´m also on the way to replace all sticky buttons on my 612.

    I already ordered most of them from Eurospares (great service by the way), but to put them in place apparently I need to detach some panels. Can somebody tell me how to lift the panels on the picture (without damaging the leather :))?

    Thanks.

    Why does this happen? I had the same problem on my 550 and hope I don't run into this with the 599 I am about to purchase. Is it a foregone conclusion? Is there anyway to slow down the process? Thanks. Frank

    Seems to be worse in high humidity regions, but who knows? Only one piece on my 575M (parking brake handle) got the stickies after 12 years or so.

    Thanks, Terry. I read somewhere that even the Maranellos in the Ferrari Museum have sticky switches. Just corresponded with a dealer on a 599 and he says they addressed the stickies. Car has been around, so not sure where it spent most of its time geographically.

    Is that an iPod connection I see and if so where did you get it? Thanks.
