Can the volume knob on the stock w210 radio be replaced?
I have a stock radio (no navigation system) in my 2001 E430.

The volume knob is coated with some kind of rubbery substance. Someone with particularly sharp fingernails (hint - not me) put marks in the knob, which eventually caused a small section of the rubber to crack and fall off.

I'd like to replace just the knob if I can. Does anyone know if this can be done, or am I looking at trying to get some kind of rubber cement to fix the damage?

Thanks!

Radio volume knob.
Check with your local MB dealer, I believe they carry the knob (around $10.00) or go to this link : http://www.beckerautosound.com/parts/index.html.
Good luck.

I replaced mine on my 2000 E320 for less than $10 at my MB dealer.

How do I replace the Volume Knob on ML 320 2002 Radio. I can't get old knob off. I purchased a new knob and the tools to pull radio out
Thank you

Pull the radio and use a little of leverage and the knob will come off

And how to change the button? Does it have to be disassembled?
Pulling does not work.

If the radio is Audio 10 it is pulled out.
If it is multimedia with navigation - it must be disassembled, which is done quite easily. The button has a "hat" and only goes inwards.
About the buttons - I cleaned them from the rubber, took a black spray and they became perfect!
