    I was really paying attention today to how much I hate the factory knobs. So shallow and with such slippery grip, took way too much focus to try and adjust volume with it without hitting the screen. I am really excited for these and not being annoyed every time I have to adjust the volume. The volume buttons on the steering wheel take way too long to get anywhere.

    Not sure what ones I need. My truck has Nav/Sat and dials on the lower part of the unit.

    Pretty sure you need the fancy knobs. Just go to the website, he has pictures of the radios telling you which knobs to order. Couldn't be easier

    @wileydavis received my knobs (and decal) yesterday and they look great. I got a kick out of the package return address "Dept. Of Awesome"
    Thanks for the prompt delivery and the "Awesome" knobs .. a fine example of a small cheap mod that really makes a difference

    Toyota called all their head units "Entune". for the third gen the Entune premium systems have nav and have a totally different knob post. For the second gen the units with nav are the same as the non-nav units for ther third gen. One style has an o-ring and is designed to fit the 8mm post of the premium head units. The other has a set screw and will fit the smaller post with two flat sides. Keep the in mind that the ones with a set screw will be very loose until you tighten the set screw.

    If possible could you post a photo of your knob posts? Just in case Canada trucks Are different. But as far as I've seen, if you have a 2nd or 3rd gen truck and have knobs at the top, you want the Entune audio/ audio basic knobs. And if you have a 3rd gen with knobs at the bottom you want the Entune premium knobs.

    The JBL part should be irrelevant. The JBL and non JBL head units with the knobs at the bottom use the same knobs. Hopefully Canadian radios are the same. The premium knob posts are 8mm.

    Yes! They came!

    On the premium it really is a 10 second affair. I was worried the matte look would look off but they actually match the same texture/color of the matte plastics around the radio so it works well. Love em!

    Got them; ergonomic wonders on the 3rd. gen. Entune Premium unit.

    More gripping surface with the Hondo knobs (on the left).
