    Freddan recently twisted my arm and forced me to purchase some nice carbon fiber parts from him. I tried to resist, but here I am. :D Anyhow, I want to update my console as well to carbon but am having an incredibly hard time finding a vendor that sells the console with the Bose button option, not a cigarette lighter.

    Here's an image as a refresher for those that might not be familiar:

    Here's the thing, I'm very particular and am only looking for the console that is an insert like this which includes the front and rear area. I don't care for the full consoles or the full top half of the console. Simply the insert. This company has the closest I could find that seems to be of good quality so I reached out to them with the question: https://autovm.de/en-en/products/ferrari-f430-voll-carbon-mittelkonsole-schaltzentrum-gross

    Has anybody else gone down this route? Is the Bose option just not popular enough for the aftermarket CF guys to bother with? Anybody else interested if I get one of these companies to make one if this doesn't exist elsewhere?

    Are you sure they are not the same ..just the insert /switch fits in the same hole

    I looked at Eurospares and could find a different part number for Bose

    100%. The bose button doesn't have a recess like the cigarette lighter does. The top surface should look like the hazard and parking buttons. Here's a reference so you can see how the cigarette lighter hole is recessed and larger:

    It's only for the Spider. Not sure if you were looking at the Coupe or not.

    Going through the parts catalog now, I don't see anything specific for Bose, but I know it has to be there somewhere. The first pic was from a stock vehicle. Best I can guess is that it's 69174400 but I see no pictures anywhere.

    This is the part number for the Bose center console. 80617300 . It was a spider-only option so you have to look under the 430 spider not coupe. I think this might be the full carbon option for the whole console (see my pic below with the full carbon center console), not the insert which I don't see has a Bose option.

    For the coupe with the Bose option, you didn't get the "Bose" button, instead, you only had the power outlet.

    See the pic of my console with the full carbon center console.

    Since I removed the plastic power outlet dust cover to install the Kline remote valve switch you can easily see the hole is still bigger than the switches so you really need one with a smaller hole for mounting the button vs the power outlet.

    Here is a pic I found online from a sale at miller motor cars of the spider with the Bose option and the full carbon center console.

    Thanks Corey. I think that's for the full upper console as it's 3 times the regular carbon price. Either that or it's just a weird one off price.


    As an update, the company I linked mentioned they could make a console with a custom cutout to whatever size I want, but it likely wouldn't have any attachment points I guess. Going to see if I can remove the trim piece and take some pictures from the underside.

    Does your console currently accept the insert? Can you post a picture of it? I thought you either had full carbon, leather with carbon insert or full leather with only the small areas with aluminum and plastic parts for switch areas.

    Maybe I’m having a senior moment but I don’t remember seeing that setup in a 430.

    Very difficult to find, but good luck. Finding rare parts is fun.

    I'd settle for a good replica from one of the CF shops, but I hear you. Time to turn on some saved searches on eBay :D

    He May be able to take your original and make a carbon dup.
