Did this happen to anyone else too?

Hi, last weekend I went to Atlantic city and on the way my control knob (the one that u use to control the in car system) stopped working, but only the turning part. I can still click it, and even move left right up and down by moving the knob. But when u turn it nothing happens, I still hear it click but nothing on the screen moves. I'll take it to the dealership eventually but if someone has experienced this and knows a fix please let me know. Thanks!

Yeah, haven't heard this happen to anyone yet. You are the first! I always wondered if this would happen when I first got it. When I turned it, the clicks sounded as if in 5 or so years from now, it might stop working? Let us know how you make out!

Damn, sucks that our knob isn't working. Makes me really appreciate the knob, so much more harder trying to control command without it
