A little plastic switch. An operatic price.
Sourcing interior plastics from the wider Fiat/FCA parts bin, Maserati used the identical electrical switch clusters found in standard Alfa Romeos. Maserati parts networks command £250+ for the item; the Alfa Romeo alternative is £40–£60.
SO WHAT'S THE CATCH?
Connectors, electronics and trim may vary by revision.
