No, I agree, that is a good idea.

Perhaps you could find stickers in other shapes? Triangle? Square? Not positive it would work but it's a thought. Kimberly
Nothing wrong with bling. Swarovski crystals FTW!

We had a member cover her start button with Swarovski crystals. Now that would look great with crystal overhead console buttons

Great job Ray. Somebody better let Michael's know or else there's going to be a colored dot shortage, LOL!

Ray, you and I have a similar (sort of) sense of humor. I'd bet you like a bit of red wine from time to time . And your answers are so simply logical we need you on our HOA (Home Owners Association) that's all screwed up .

Now if Lexus comes out next year with bumps on buttons to save on back-lighting you should get your attorney to file for $$$,$$$.$$ LOL

Ray and Bert. Thanks for the encouragement and link. It's been awhile since I tried programming my old Genie opener but will try again.

Ray, it was a wild guess. But now anyone else who wants to try your mini mod can find them. Thanks for posting it up.

If anyone would like a few dots, PM me with your address and I will mail you a few. Please specify color from the pic of the package. This is my way of paying it forward.

I may mod my whole dash with those dots. That way my blind half brother will be able to drive our RX.

Hilarious! There's a "braille dashboard" prank in here someplace. I can feel it.

Ray, Thanks for sharing your tip on the garage door opener button. That was very frustrating to have a vehicle with so many other great features and have small annoyances such as finding the garage door opener button. We went to one of our craft stores and found a similar button as you used. It's nice to pull up in the dark and be able to hit the button.

Thanks again for the tip!
