John, can you assist- am looking for the below button. Unsure if its oem (cant locate it on the realoem).

It controls the power antenna in convertibles.

A zoner in Germany sent me over the attached picture.

In the UK we never had a switch it was powered up and down when the radio turned on or off.

If you want one if you can get the chap in Germany to get the part number off the switch I
should be able to sort one for you.

Regards

Jon

Did anyone get the part number for this switch? ....or an alternative?

Like Jon said, I don't think that's an OE fitment, I have never seen a switch in any BMW for the operation of the aerial, Instead the aerial will always take a feed/signal from the Radio head unit.

The switch in the picture looks like the circuit breaker switch that someone has taped a graphic to.

It will be a standard single fog light switch with a sticker on it. It won't be a window circuit breaker - that is not designed to be used as a switch.

I bought car in Berlin and it just takes a signal from radio on/off. That pic is probably an aftermarket mod.
