Get car back from dealer shift select switch in console

I live way out of the way of my dealer and they assure me they will repair if I take it back. is there no way I can fix this myself maybe removal of the shift boot I can reach in there and put it back into place?

That's just wreckless. If I were you, I'd take it back and have them replace it not try to repair it.

Ive done that before, It is super easy to fix yourself, no need to make a long trip to dealer for that.

Thanks for the feedback it will go back right away, we also have a strong suspicion they were beating on it while at the dealership as all the Contents in the trunk compartment were flung around to oneside it is a daily driven and we get it on and everything never moves the way I found It I'm pretty unsatisfied with this visit. Any ideas on how to record data while its in the shop short of a camera lol

all you need to do is pry the center console up from the rear. take a look at this link - http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=29696

the first few pictures is all you need to do, you do not need to remove the entire thing. if you do it with a screwdriver just be careful not to scratch anything. Once you have it pulled up you can reach your hand underneath and reset the switch into it's holder. Then just press the center console back into place.

yeah, you just need to pop the center console up, no need to make a drive out there to get them to do it.

On a separate note, if your speakers are still broken, you should go back and get it fixed or find a different dealer.

I haven't done anything about it yet. Had to visit the hospital and work this weekend it'll be fixed by me shortly. I did see a carbon fiber center piece in a photograph online that was pretty cool looking.

Dealer broke my power button off about two years ago... The level of care is unacceptable.
