Radio Knob

Audio/Infotainment

The radio knob transfers rotational input from the driver's hand to the tuning or volume potentiometer inside the radio, allowing manual adjustment of audio settings.

The radio knob is a physical control mechanism mounted on the dashboard radio unit that allows you to adjust volume, change stations, or navigate menu options depending on the radio design. Over time, these knobs can wear, crack, or become loose due to repeated use and temperature fluctuations. Replacement typically involves removing the old knob from its shaft and pressing on a new one.
