Received the Black knurled knob from Tom Hohl, and what an improvement for controlling input with the knob.

You can actually grab the thing and when pushed it goes dead center instead of up or down which is problem with the OEM knob. Just a brief post to suggest this item to anyone with an AVIC - F series unit. It's a bargain at $22 to your door.

I saw these knobs on here but did not see install details. Does it just fit on top of the existing knob or do you remove the existing one and install the new one? Thanks.

They get pressed over the existing knobs, very very nice product.

I have the black knurled on my F700, tremendous improvement.

I also purchased one of these, they work great, well worth the low cost. By the way, you forgot the link. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=21115&hilit=knob

i dont know if its really necessary, as the thread pretty much speaks for itself, but ill throw my 2 cents into the matter:

 

the best investment i made on my avic-f700bt was this little knob

 

you get it in the mail - you pop it on over your existing knob (it fits PERFECTLY) - and you proceed to use the knob as it should have been manufactured in the first place - it makes the knob actually usable

Agreed. If you don't have one, get one.
