Yeah but once you wire up the smoke, oil slick, ejection seat, missles, machine gun, and optional bulletproof screen, you barely have anything left over.

I have 2. One for front fogs and one for the rear fog (which you couldn’t even get in the US)

Buttons? One makes the horn go beep, the other opens the glove box.

My 1961 Ford F100 has no blanks, but it has no features. Like, it doesn’t even have a way to control the temperature of the air coming into the cab from within the cab.

“Hey, can you turn the heat down?”

“Sure, just let me find a place to pull over.” No kidding.

But to your question, my 2001 suburban was the worst offender of this phenomenon. My current ‘03 bmw wagon doesn’t have any blanks. They leave space, but don’t put blank buttons in....

None, because base model Chevy.

You get everything you need and nothing you don’t. Including ABS and Traction Control.

Same here, but mine are still just blanks.

Did you do a writeup on that project?

ZERO. Granted Crossfire’s had like no options. I do think it might be the only car that gives you a blank button as you go up in trim levels. The SRT has a blank where the base has spoiler switch.

None in my 08 Accord Coupe.

Pretty sure the only option its missing is navigation, but that’s a completely different center stack setup.

I don’t think neither Kristin nor Valka have any blank buttons. I do know Valka’s voice button on the steering doesn’t work (read: I don’t know how to operate it). And Kristin is a 2006 model, the 2007s onwards have a blank Stabilitrak button.

My 95 530i has 3. One is for an option I can’t get (rear fog light), and I think the other two are to switch the headlight switches to the other side of the cluster for RHD.

I might have years ago on some Mazda forum. They’re coin holders from a Protege, I had them in my Mazda5. They just snap in.

Come to think of it, I don’t actually have any.

My Leon has only 2 that I can see, one for the missing front parking sensors (which were standard on my model until like 2 months before it was built!!) and one for the headlight height adjusters, which mine doesn’t have as it has the LED headlights that auto adjust. Our Citroen DS4 doesn’t seem to have any (it’s D-Sport model and is fully optioned!).

None. Sometimes only having fully loaded luxury sedans has its merits.

Three. One would be for fog lights. The other two are apparently for center stack lock and window switches, but are labeled Not in Use in the manual, so apparently Volvo gave up on those or never used them in the US (don’t seem that helpful regardless).

Base model 2014 Outback 6MT. Just one for the fog lights I’ve yet to install.

12, but they’re contextual so I don’t think they count.

So you have a blank button because the higher option was selected. That’s a bit backwards.

Unless you count the panel where the 4x4 control would go next to the air vents, zero on my base model S10. GM is generally pretty good about not leaving blanks and modifying button/panel design to accommodate more or less options.

I know, but it’s down by the light switch (just above the drivers knee) so isn’t noticeable.
