Ferrari 488 Center Console Console Panel 070005145

In 2026, the part number 70005145 (sometimes listed as 070005145) refers to the Carbon Fiber Center Console Upper Panel for the Ferrari 488 GTB and 488 Spider.

This specific panel is the “bridge” that houses the push-button transmission controls ($Launch$, $Reverse$, and $Auto$) and is a centerpiece of the 488’s cockpit.

1. Technical Identification

• Part Number: 70005145

• Material: High-gloss “Pre-preg” Carbon Fiber.

• Compatibility: * Ferrari 488 GTB

  • Ferrari 488 Spider

  • Note: This is the standard 488 layout. The 488 Pista uses a different “high-bridge” console design and is not compatible with this specific part number.

• Included Features: The panel typically comes as the carbon shell; the electronic buttons for the F1 gearbox are often transferred from the old unit or sold separately.

2. 2026 Market Pricing (Estimated USD)

Because this is a high-visibility interior component, prices stay high. By 2026, “sticky button” refurbishment has become a common reason for people to pull this panel out.

3. Common 2026 Issues & Maintenance

• Sticky Buttons: This panel houses the three most used buttons in the car ($R, Launch, Auto$). By 2026, the soft-touch coating on these buttons has likely degraded into a “sticky” mess. If you are buying part 70005145, you should also consider a button refurbishment kit.

• Clear Coat Scratches: Being a horizontal surface near the cup holders and keys, this panel is prone to “swirl marks.” In 2026, many owners apply PPF (Paint Protection Film) to this carbon piece to prevent scratches.

• Connector Fatigue: The plastic clips on the underside of the panel can become brittle. If the panel feels “loose” or “creaky” when you press the buttons, it usually means the underside mounting tabs have snapped.

4. Installation Guide

• “Pop and Swap”: Replacing this panel is relatively straightforward compared to mechanical parts. It is held in place by several friction clips and usually two hex bolts hidden under the trim or inside the storage cubby.

• Electrical Connection: There is a single multi-pin wiring harness that connects the $R/Launch/Auto$ buttons to the car’s CAN-bus. Ensure the battery is disconnected or the ignition is off before unplugging this to avoid a “Gearbox Failure” ghost code.
