Stelvio Multimedia Knob Cover

I added a Jaguar emblem to my F-Pace gear shift knob that I feel adds to the look of the vehicle and I would have to think some enterprising Chinese fellow would see the potential for a comparable Alfa Romeo emblem to jazz up the plain knob in the Stelvio but I have yet to discover such an offering.

Ugh, I hate that it's shiny, too. Terrible choice of material/finish - it should have been a nice matte textured plastic, like BMW's. It's actually one of the 'little things' the really bugs me.

I thought about having an exact-fit circular piece of matte adhesive vinyl cut to put on it, may still do that. Problem with a cover with a design is that it 'turns' so if its logo, etc it'd end up being pointed in a weird direction most of the time. May not bother some, but would me.

I'd really like to see either of soft-plastic, matte insert/cap or a 'metal' one, something better matching the rest of the rest of the interior and yeah, without the fingerprints.

Showing lot of fingerprints. Has anyone found an aftermarket knob cover? Maybe one with an Alfa Logo?

I believe the center knob is 40mm, if so, these may work to match your red interior.

there's a rumor that despite the fact the software doesn't support it yet, that the actual hardware there is a touch sensitive control pad. It is actually touch pad on some of the Q models, and someone on the Giulia forum said the actual dial hardware was the same, leaving open the (remote) possibility that it will have the touch support added with a future software update.

That's why it's shiny :wink

^This. The function is described in the owners' manual.

I ordered a custom sized circular screen protector to cover it from bestskinsever.com. If I measured correctly 51mm should fit nicely. I'll post an update on how it looks after I receive it.

I seriously doubt this, but I'd happily stand corrected if it comes to fruition.

NOT so. My last car - a BMW 435i GC, had the latest-gen iDrive knob. The touch-pad knob surface was pretty cool - it recognized letters, numbers and several gestures with impressive accuracy - and was beautifully matte surface finished. It does not need to be shiny, certainly not for functionality.
