That black **** in the first pic spins that brass piece in the second pic. I sent the pics to a buddy that does electronic installs and he thinks it might be a bass control ****. Not for sure though. Won't really know till I remove the trim around the stereo to see behind it . Can anyone tell me how to remove that trim?

Well I got it out, had rubber in the plug in area that was a pita to get out. All I found on it is a patent # 6.840.485 and reading the info seems like it had something to do with communications
