488 488 questions

That button is for the rear camera. I never use it as the camera comes on automatic when in reverse. My hood does pop up and my fat fingers can release the lever. As for the stitching you should seek,out a high end upholstery shop and they might be able to dye the thread red again. Looks like your seat stitch faded too in the photos.

 

The button is for switching from front to rear camera or split screen. i have it also in my 488 even if I do not have a front camera.

 

I believe the button you’ve questioned is used to turn on the front camera, if a vehicle is so equipped. My car had the button but not the front camera therefore the button served no purpose whatsoever.

The hood - lube the hinges and latching mechanism. Perhaps that will do the trick.

 

Red stitching turns that purplish/pinkish color when sun damaged OR the wrong chemicals were used to clean. From that one pic, I would say it’s faded from the sun because I can see the seats are very dirty. The black leather is also extremely dirty and/or has some greasy product applied to it. That ‘shine’ you see on your leather means it’s very dirty. Use a proper interior cleaner or diluted APC with a non scratch scotch brite blue pad or magic eraser to clean…. But CAREFULLY. Both those tools are aggressive so don’t apply pressure or scrub.

By the way, yes, the stitching can be dyed.

I wasn't kidding. That's what people use on old, dirty fading stitching all the time. I've done it before.

 

yikes... trust me, it is NOT the answer... especially red on tan leather...

You wanna find out if the stitching is cotton or synthetic. Either way, I vote red sharpie. On my 355 half the interior was black sharpie.

When I got my 458 Italia, some of the thread near the dash was not colored properly. But after a black sharpie, it was. On my 360 Modena, the CF air box lids had a couple of tiny pin hole bubbles in the top coat; which a sharpie made vanish into the background of the carbon weave.

I find that the button only works when reverse gear is engaged and the camera is on. Once pressed it changes the aspect of the rear camera.

 

Was he making sexual advances towards me again?

 

You wish!! Ok fine, yes I was.
