Default Missing Button, How can i replace this??

So when i bought my car used (i bought it from a crappy dealership, so no way of confronting them about it) it was missing the "Scan" button. I guess it popped off, but they didnt leave it in the car. Is there anyway of replacing this? I asked lexus, and they said that they cant get single buttons. Or is there something i can put there so it doesnt look so damn dumb? Please help!

I had the same problem with my used car but with my volume ****. I made the dealer signed "We Owe" paper since they promised to send the part to my house. Apparently, Lexus must sell the whole audio unit for $2000. So they need to honor "we owe" paper. They took the volume **** from another IS on the lot using screwdriver.

Do you have "we owe" paper from the dealer? If so you can claim it. If not, try junkyard.

If it was a Lexus dealership, they should fix it for you. If it wasn't, your best bet is a broken radio from a junk yard or e-bay (for the button). If you can't find one anywhere ask your insurance agent where they get their "LKQ" repair parts from.
