I like my rotary dial tho. Makes for a nice clean look. I thought I’d have troubles with mine adjusting from a column shifter but I’ve adapted to it quite well. I dunno, maybe it’s because my Limited has the fancier knob.

Yeah, the price is nuts for a knob! It does look better IMO though. I've also looked at the decals to dress them up, but nothing really to my liking. May just have to get creative :)

Ram emblem in the centre self leveling would be cool since with auto park the knob isn't always the same orientation. Black surround and a silver center would match most interiors. Floating centre could also be flat and you could print off vinyl decals custom choice that fit in the middle instead.

He's gonna find the ******* that designed that hideous POS and beat the crap out of him with them.
I'll be in line behind you. I'd like put in a proper console shifter and convert the rotary knob to a height adjustment for my retractable in-fender 30 caliber mini-guns.

I used double sided tape and it works well ! Plus side is if I remove the coin or want to change it you can clean the glue off with Goof Off or alcohol ! I like that Shellback coin :) I never did cross the equator !

The floating center is what I'd like to see.
