Question
where can i get a new volume knob for my sony xplod cdxgt640ui car stereo?

Answer
Hi Bobby,

Unfortunately, your options on this one are limited.

Your options are:

- Find a broken unit on eBay and buy it for parts.
- Buy directly from Sony
- See if you can find one that fits off of a car at a wrecking yard, which is unlikely since wrecking yards usually pull aftermarket stereos from cars if they're still in the car when they get it.

Expertise

I can answer questions about the electronics and mathematics behind car stereos, provide information on locating wires, wire interference, gauges, etc. Since they're almost entirely subjective, asking questions about brand names may not result in the most useful answers.

Experience

I've been installing car stereos for friends and family (albeit not professionally) for 8 or 9 years. My knowledge lies mostly in the math and technical aspects: impedance, required gauges, fuse levels, frequency response, etc.
