Control panel knob replacement

[Skelly]

Hi, recently upgraded from lifetime of camping to a 2015 T5 Ocean. It is in amazing condition apart from the dodgy control knob issue which means menu selection is a bit hit and miss.
I purchased a replacement black knob (£10) from the VWCC shop online here as the official VW one (now £55!) was not available at the time. It is now back in stock.

I have studied the various videos and guides and feel apprehensive but up for changing the control panel knob. My questions are (a) has anyone done the DIY replacement on the black copy knob and if so any tips and does it work ok? (b) is the VW knob any better from a performance /fitting point of view and worth me getting this part over the copy?

many thanks

stick the copy one in. can't be worse than the original worn out one. if it works ok no need to worry,won't look any different from standard. i would invest in some trim removal tools to help avoid damage to the trim when prizing it out.

Thanks, that was my feeling.
