When I turn my volume ****, the volume moves erratically. It will generally go the direction I'm turning, but it will sometimes jump a lot in either direction, such that when I try to turn the volume up a good amount, I have to switch over to the steering wheel control. My car is out of warranty now, and I wondered if anyone has ever replaced parts here or has ideas about the process. Thanks!

I do not know what the internals of the main volume **** look like by I would suspect dirty contacts especially if the steering wheel volume works correctly....Maybe a loose connector????

I have the same problem. Did you ever get this resolved? If yes would be interested to know how.

I had it replaced under warranty and that helped, but honestly not 100%. I think sometimes the software gets confused, but you can check whether that’s the case based on whether the steering wheel control moves too. Replacing the button doesn’t look too difficult, from my experience of replacing the brake button

Thanks for responding. Yes steering wheel volume control works fine. I’m out of warranty now so will get it looked at but suspect may have to live with it.

See if you can’t find the part. I was surprised how easy it was to install the automatic brake version of the parking brake switch. You may be able to just buy the part and put it in yourself really inexpensively. There are instructions in threads that cover doing that swap, but it’s just the same as what’s listed in the service manual. Essentially you pry the leather around the gear lever off that then just lift up console. From there, should be able to unhook the volume control button and put a new one in.

Ok fair enough, I will give it a try!

Here's a link that shows how to pull the console, and I added some photos near the end that might be helpful: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...-Hold-Retrofit

While you're at it, you can do that swap too!
