The **** is not adjusting the volume correctly
ie you have to turn it mega slow and pull slightly, how do fix it
the led is very dim and i can barely read it any suggestions on this as well
I tried searching but apparently suck at that 'cause i wasnt finding anything
thanks

Try your local electronics parts store (radio shack might be your only choice) and get whats called contact cleaner (electronic contact cleaner) it's be better if oyu took the face plate off the radio and squirted directly into the volume **** housing but if you want to you can try and do it with the face plate still on. Turn the car off and make sure power is off to the radio (open your door with the keys out of the ignition or wait 5-10min for the time to expire) the spray it into the volume housing. It's dirty contacts causing it not to register the **** turning. Again I reccomend taking the radio out and taking off the faceplate and doing it right but you may be able to get it "good nuff" if your just wanting to sell it.

yea dude you cant really do anything about it. The only thing you can do is buy a new one. I suggest getting an aftermarket HU. i just installed my panasonic cq8413 and dude it is so badass and it looks awesome!! pm me if you want the link if you do consider getting an aftermarket hu

I know the aftermarket has alot of bells and whistles but I personally don't need that. I can do with amps and eq's what I need ... AND keep it out of sight of thieves to boot

I am having this exact same problem. Are there any other suggestions on this??? Does the clock screen have bulbs behind it that can be replaced?

yes the light behind the clock area is a bulb that's replaceable. and the volume **** should function better if sprayed with electrical contact cleaner and spun erratically for a few minuets while periodically spraying more cleaner (it evaporates pretty quick)
