Default Screen button disguise/mod?

Is there a mod to replace or disguise the "screen" button to the left of the compartment to make it less obvious? Seems better to actually relocate it somewhere else, but in the meantime maybe just a way to remove the lettering?

I made a label that reads "Fire Stop". It sounds critical enough that I don't think anyone would try it out.

Programming into valet mode every time you leave the car only to unlock it would be a real PITA!

This car needs a 'mod' so that the switch AND the glove box lock when you exit the car!

They should have designed the screen to lock when the car locks, just like the glovebox and trunk do every time the car is locked.
