what is the A and off under the power button?
Hi Everyone,
I replaced my trim with a set I bought on ebay. the set I purchased, came with it's own power button, so I did not bother to swap the one from my car. Then I noticed it has a small A under the power button with the word off next to it. I think it's a button to toggle the engine on and off. My question is that I'm currently in a 2023 530e. Do I need this? Is it kind of like an upgrade? or old tech? Does the 2023 530e hybrid need this? Basically, I'm wondering if should I pull the trim and swap it out for my original power button? Or try to code it or something? At the moment, pushing the button doesn't seem to do much. I don't see a light come on or anything. |

Ditto…the ASS (AUTO START/STOP) button was used on BMWs with an internal combustion engine to activate or deactivate this auto shut down feature when the car comes to a stop.
Your 530e comes with #2 in the illustration below…gas/diesel engined G30 models come with #1
