For those of you that have upgraded to an aftermarket, namely the Pioneer AVIC series this is for you.

You've probably noticed that the volume knob is too small for a normal person to use. This upgrade is simple and easy to install and it makes the volume knob much easier to use.

Sorry for the crappy pictures.

Easy to install.... take off the old knob, insert into new knob, press together, reinstall on the headunit.

This is where I found it.

I still have an Avic D1 in my car. Am desperate to swap over to a new unit as this one has become too uncalibrated (touch screen) and the antiquated ipod/media player is annoying me now.

The AVIC X940BT is a great upgrade.

I have the 940, and yeah, the stupid volume knob is the only thing I don't like about it. But I use the steering wheel buttons anyway.
