Do you have more unlit buttons than the volume and climate strip that I have in the Multivan? I believe we share that same strip and it's ironic that the power button on there is actually lit! However as it only does two things and there's feedback on the screen when you touch it, I haven't had any of the issues people have complained about. Plus those functions can be accessed elsewhere.

For the driver, you can access it elsewhere. But to deal with the climate, you then have to go into the touchscreen menu and mess around rather than just turning a dial. The volume is less of an issue as the driver, the volume is on the steering wheel. But the passenger can't turn down the volume, etc. I love the id4, planning on driving it into the ground, but buttons for functions like that would be better.
