Sirius traffic disables console knob functionality

I have a 2010 E550 coupe. Just subscribed to Sirius radio and traffic. For those wanting to do, the customer service rep will likely be challenged by the "2 device" integration / configuration of the radio and traffic components - which led to her indicating I would be charged double for activating both. Once I gave provide the unique radio and traffic ids she was able to move forward.
My question:
Has anyone else done this and noticed that they lose the functionality to "twist" the console knob (physically it twists fine) in that spinning does nothing anymore for either the radio settings or navigation.
I used to be able to use the knob to zoom in or out in the navigation mode. I can no longer do this.
Also, I used to be able to use the knob to select upper and lower tabs on the screen or move between radio stations. Again, I can no longer do this.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks - David

With tax, I think it's about $5.00 a month for the traffic.

I have Sirius radio and traffic and do not have the same problem you do 2012 E350 Sedan. I can still zoom and swap radio stations just fine turning the ***.

Your command knob probably died. Mine worked fine with traffic then the scroll stopped working suddenly. Had it replaced under warranty
