Yes thats right his knob design and functionality ranks up there with the ones who have created some great mods/ contributions (leetcoder, stephanie, mavickster, skicrave, ect.) and in my book has earned him the status of Avic F forum legend. And no this is not a shameless plug so he can make more knobs and more money (although that would be great for the economy), but in appreciation for such a simple yet useful design (reading this Pioneer?!!). Thanks again for the inspiration, I didnt realize how bad the original knob was until I installed Toms and now play with it all the time (yes that sounds real perverse, if you are thinking that way!!! shame on you).

 

Seriously, the black dial looks great, fits great and looks like it belongs. Great job Tom!! :D

 

Maybe the forum moderator would consider adding a legends folder to the index to immortalize all those that have done so much to make this product better (or at the least what Pioneer should have thought to done) :wink:

In that case people like tom would have nothing to do then :wink:

Amen! It's amazing how something so small and simple can make such a huge difference in usability. Quality is top notch, looks great but most importantly makes using the dial much easier for us with big hands while driving.

 

THANK YOU!

Hey Catchmeifyoucan, you dont know why the site is not letting you upload pics do you?

Posted Feb 08, 2009 · 04:01 UTC#9

Umm, either the format is not permitted or the file size is too big. Unless no one can post picss, then I'd PM Jason, maybe he temporarily turned them off due to the recent server issues. Personally I use photobucket and paste the IMG codes so I rarely ever even use attachments. If you'd like you can email me the picture and I can post it for you if you can't get it to work.

Others have tried it as well and it doesn't work. Maybe he has it turned off or something. Can you get hold of Jason and let him know?

Tom if that's really you, then you are by far the coolest guy I've ever had the pleasure of knowing :lol: glad to see you got it up (the picture).

This is a text from my wife after I installed her "kohlknob". Tom is driving the women wild....and cheaper than plastic surgery - just not as fun.

Mine actually arrives today, I ordered two - so as not to make the wife jealous of my knob!

 

BTW, I showed to a couple of guys here in my (small) hometown who I converted to AVIC's - they now have "Knob-Envy" and will likely be your customers soon.
