This video will provide all the info you need to build the volume knob.
You have to tap into two wires on the harness to duplicate the SWC, I think it's the pink wire for skip/volume and green wire for the mode button, and these are the resistor values that I got from measuring them myself (there is some margin of error so use the closest value you can find, doesn't have to be exact) -
* 3 Ohm - Skip forward
* 330 Ohm - skip back
* 1k Ohm - volume up
* 3.1k Ohm - volume down
* 2 Ohm - mode
The bass knob is the remote that came with my amp, disassembled to fit. It has the same dimensions as the rotary encoders that I bought from Amazon so I was able to use the same knob on both. I cut out most of the bottom of the little cubby/ ash tray thing with a Dremel (pic)
You can also see in the picture where I used Sugru to make a little shelf around the edge for the face plate to rest on. It was kinda tricky to find the right height for it, but I put the knobs in place and then closed the lid and marked around the inside of the edge from the bottom with a silver sharpie to get the approximate location for it.
You'll need a material that stands up to heat for automotive use, my prototype in PLA melted in half as soon as summer started, I used Proto-pasta Obsidian HTPLA for the final product.
These are the buttons I used because I happened to have some on hand. I didn't bother hooking up the illumination but it could be very cool to do so, if you picked the right color.
