ESP, airbag & parking aid button panel

Does anyone have all 3 buttons (the ESP button, the passenger airbag light & the parking aid button) populated & working on a mk7 (or a mk7.5, if there’s no difference)? I’ve been reading online that Ford don’t sell the panel with all three buttons in it, although, I’ve seen the photos of someone having made it work (could be a mk7.5 or newer). I’ve bought a panel that has the ESP button & the passenger airbag light (inc glove box switch). Do the pins do different jobs depending on what buttons are fitted in the panel, or are there dedicated pins for each function?

On a panel with just the ESP function, only pins 2-5 & 9 are present. A panel with the airbag light fitted uses pins 6 & 7. Pins 5(common) & 10 are the parking aid button contacts, however, the pins that would drive the LEDs for the airbag & parking aid are dead ends on the circuit board. Can i put on front parking sensors as well if I can get the button added?

Thanks,
Paul
