Default Aluminum Radio Control *****

Hey I was wondering if anyone here has purchased these radio ***** for their car? I recently swapped my ML ***** for the non ML ***** and I like the look but I came across these and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with these. Thanks!!! Link for them is below

I do not know the answer to your question, yet. I saw them and was trying to find the link again to order them, so thanks... I just ordered them, will let you know as soon as I get them.

although it looks better and other members have done it, if you have home audio levinson components which has the exact same *****, its almost sacrilege to do if you are a die hard fan. i don't have the ML system by the way but I'm thinking of doing a complete swap. just have to figure exactly all i need.

Exactly! Folks can't appreciate the ML system! I would never change out just to match the mode selector. Why does it have to match? They're different sizes btw. Moreover the ML ***** feel more premium to operate because made of ceramic I believe.

Look familiar?

I just like the way the burshed metal look matches. The ML ***** feel cheaper too. Just my preference.

Good point and they do feel different to the touch than the ones that are non-ML...feel softer to me. I had thought about swapping to match the big mode selector but not going to. This way when an enthusiast looks inside the car they will automatically know it's a ML. Hey do you think ML makes a bigger **** to swap out the mode selector to match the ML radio *****. Has anyone thought of that???

Personally, I kind of like the consistent look. I always thought the sound ***** weren't quite right, ML or not.

I received mine a couple days ago and can say they look much better than the factory ones. no pics yet, but if you look at the pics provided in this thread they look just like that. just a much better feel than the originals.

Does the drive mode selector piece just go on top on the OEM one?
