Steering wheel buttons retrofit

Hello,

Does someone ever tried to retrofit LCI G30 steering wheel buttons on a pre-LCI G30 ?
Is there any problem doing that ?

Thank you for your help !

It seems there is two types of LCI buttons. One just for MY2020 (the type which is on the precedent photo) and another one for more recent cars. This second type is not compatible with pre-lci cars.

There are many buttons sets depending on the équipement of the car and if it's lci or not.
For example sriving assistant plus and driving assistant pro don't have the same buttons. Driving assistant plus (as I have on my pré lci) was just sold on MY2020 LCI models. After that, it's driving assistant pro. Buttons are not compatible even if the possibilities are quite the same.
