    Is it possible to replace the Vol and Tune knobs from the audio system?
    My guess is that they should pull-off with a little force but I tried and chickened-out in fear of breaking the vol knob.
    (I'm thinking about replacing the black knob with a metal knob)

    Even if it's possble, I think you'll have problems finding the new knobs in the exact size and attaching stem.

    Push them in and use the steering wheel controls. Much cleaner look.

    I rarely use the knobs, and leave them pushed in, because the steering wheel is more convenient.

    However, once in a while I want to throw the volume down quickly, and reach for the knob. It would have been nice if they had put some kind of grip on the knobs, because they're way slippery.

    I use the steering wheel controls too, but sometimes you want really quick control of the volume. On my Prius, the volume knob has no little clicks like the tuning knob. Is this normal?
