    There are two versions at least for the part I bought. One made in Japan and one in Canada. I would have to look up my part number again to see which I bought. The black plastic piece you removed in this pic looks slightly different than mine.

    What didn't fit exactly?

    Oh I see. I didn't realize that was the Taco knob. Could you post a pic of your radio? I'm thinking it's a different one than mine since yours is a 2017. They changed things for 2020. There is currently only one aftermarket knob option in production and it's not backlit. That's why I went to the Rav4 knobs on my 2020.

    With a little finesse you could cut the stalk off both knobs, then super glue the Taco stalk inside the Rav4 knob (if the diameter isn't too large and it will sit flat). Then your radio would accept the knob.

    @TacoTim85

    I installed these Rav4 knobs on my 2020. They fit, however when you rotate them, then spin off center. Like the knob doesn't rotate on the radio post evenly, so they appear 'wobbly'. For example when you spin the volume knob, the knob gets closer and farther away to the 'volume' text above it as you spin it. Maybe just OCD, was wondering if yours do that?

    Either way much better than the factory knobs! :thumbsup:

    I noticed one of mine does this slightly. The other does not. I switched the not as perfect one to the "tune" side, which I almost never use. Most likely a quality issue with Toyota's plastic mold or something.

    Ok. Was trying to figure it out, the posts in the knobs look centered. Cant see where the wobble is coming from, both mine do it. Oh well. Thanks again!

    Anyone know if these will fit the 2017 style entune system? This looks sweet.

    They do not, according to a previous post (read whole thread). The 2020 has a different in dash radio than previous year models.

    The toco garage has these knob covers for about $9. They presently are out of stock on some colors.

    Doesn't fit 2020. The radios in 2020 model trucks have been changed vs previous year models. That's why I used the Rav4 knobs. Thanks.

    Exactly! The Tacoma is the exact opposite of my Subaru and I drive both so it gets confusing.

    Very satisfied with swapping the Tacomods radio knobs on my ‘20 with the Rav4 knobs that illuminate and are not as big as the aluminum knobs.
