How did you connect it up?, looks pretty simple but doesn't hurt to check.

While pictures are good (see attached)... I'd highly recommend breaking out the multi-meter and understanding the stock potentiometer, and mapping those functions to the Alps one. This is how I figured it out.

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask my question.

Does this alp potentiometer + PCB kit look legit?
