Default Weird problem with display controls

Recently I replaced the circuit board behind the LCD display, because I had a dead screen. The screen itself works fine now, but I have a new, crazy problem: when I push one of the buttons beside the screen, it acts like I pushed the button on the opposite side. This means that when I push "climate", the "navigation" screen pops up. Even the "temp up/down" buttons do this; I have to push the ones on the passenger side to control the climate on the drivers side.

Can anyone tell me what's happening? I'm wondering if I may have reconnected something the wrong way when I replaced the circuit board. A defective circuit board for the LCD couldn't cause this, could it?

I think you got the circuit board that's for countries with people driving on the wrong side of the road. Maybe you can switch wires connecting to the circuit board ... and someone might have this issues before on this forum. One easy fix, if you have enough mental control, is to imagine yourself driving on the passenger side whenever you need to push buttons.

I don't know if you are right, but I definitely give you props for thinking outside the box.

If you're right about the board i'm going to go nuts! I searched for two months to find that board (only thing I could find elsewhere was a replacement radio unit for $2700) and the only place I sourced it was some Chinese website... it wasn't some cheap knockoff either. Please don't tell me that the damned Limeys have ruined this for me!
