So one of the previous owners of my 2011 XKR glued a silly additional overlay button on my start button. It works fine but I'd like to replace it, the overlay is cracked and broken and lets the otherwise clean interior down a bit. Anyone with experience on doing this swap? Part number? I only found prior threads for the 4.2 cars with the J-Gate shifter.

no idea but I'd love to see you fit the car in that garage
...... Anyone with experience on doing this swap? Part number? .....
I'll start by admitting NO I haven't done it but this is how I'd plan to do it.
The dismantling required will be:
1. remove veneer with a plastic trim tool to reveal Transmission Shift Control Module fixings
2. remove the 4 fixings
3. disconnect Module
4. disconnect Start/Stop etc
5. remove Transmission Shift Control Module from vehicle
The Start/Stop button will have two or more 'tabs' securing it to the Module. Press these inwards towards the body of the button to release and then withdraw the Start/Stop button. The button (C2P15331) is 74 UKP here in the UK from Jaguar but likely to be more in the US.
Mine also broke 13MY but I have not been able to locate a black/clear lettering" one the replacement is a RED button which I really do not like. Did locate one but you would have to have purchased the whole console to the tune of $1800 . Should you be able to locate any please let me know. I found a "diamond jeweled" stick on cover one that fits perfectly and doesn't look too bad, better than RED.
there seems to me to be too many options to list.
I especially like the carbon fibre look red button… especially the one with the led to inform you the ignition is on.
GGG, thanks for your guidance. The red start/stop button C2P15331 came in from the Jaguar dealer ($85 USD or thereabouts from Jaguar Hilton Head), gonna try and tackle the install this week when I get a chance:
