Does anyone know if a 2013 steering wheel will fit the earlier model c63 2009

charliekay

Yes it will work but if you only replace the steering wheel then the buttons won't light up. You need to replace the steering column - part number A212 900 7702. Once you replace the steering column everything will work 100%.

abcut973

It will as mentioned above. You need the E class steering column cover to get the button lit

ClivePratt

Thanks for the replies, so does everything else work except the lights in the buttons, if I don't change the column, and is it the complete column or just the top cover with the electrical connections that need replacing

abcut973

Just the plastic top cover. It is plug and play.

ClivePratt

ok, so just to get this straight, when I search that part number it is the switch assy and clock spring a2129007702 is that what I need or is it just the clock spring that has all the connections, the round center section

abcut973

This is what i bought. That part number listed above didn't work for me:

ClivePratt

Thanks gain abcut973 and others that replied, I too was having trouble with that part number, I am in Australia so maybe they are different part numbers, pictures are great, I was not sure if it was one assy. i came up with 20790033009051,

ClivePratt

one more question, there are two different switch assy,s listed one with memory and one without, I believe this is for seat memory, how does this affect the steering wheel?

ClivePratt

Hi Guys, so I got my new 2013 performance pack wheel and air bag for my 2009 c63, bolted on fine, air bag fine,,,,,, none of buttons on the steering wheel work, no horn either, thought it might be a dud so I put it on my 2013 c63 and everything works,,,, so I guess I have to get the steering column switch assy, anybody else had this problem, I know a few said it is plug and play, not in my case

If you do the facelifted steering wheel you must buy the new airbag. Instead of buying the plastic airbag- you should opt for the nappa leather airbag from the R231 SL (same shape). And while you're at it, get the aluminum trim that says "AMG" on the bottom instead of "Airbag" that the C and E assemblies have.

These are the part numbers:

Airbag: 231 860 19 02
AMG Silver trim: 099 464 23 13

ClivePratt

thanks for that, but that does not answer my question, I already have the air bag,
read previous post

abcut973

Did you change your top cover as well with the E class one?
That is what will make the buttons lit.

ClivePratt

thanks abcut973, I have not changed the top yet, my main problem is that, none of the buttons work, what year model cover did you get for yours,

Column numbers:

- without cruise control, without Memory: A212 900 7703
- without c c, with Memory: A212 900 8103
- with c c, without Memory: A212 900 7502
- with c c, with Memory: A212 900 7702

All parts for sedan, not estate!
Estate has different parts cause of the back wiper.

Steering wheel:

There are two different kinds of steerig wheels.
One (Code 802) is working without the column, only no button lights.
The other need the column, otherwise the steering wheel will not work.
No button, no paddles, no lights, nothing!

So check your steering wheel and the right column number

Just reading the replies, it seems like a costly venture.

I'd rather put that money into a carbon fiber wheel.

Thanks anatoli, that was the info i was looking for, I guess I have the other steering wheel, part no is a17246047039g90, its a performance pack wheel.
it works fine on my 2013, the 2009 has mem and cc, so it looks like a2129007502,,,can you tell me what holds it to column please,
thanks to all the others that comented

Recently I bought a new steering wheel for my E class W212.
I found a good deal for W264 steering wheel, it is the same for the 2014 facelift E class.
Part Number:
Steering wheel: A246 460 1503 9E38
Airbag:A246 860 2602 9E38

I didn't try to change the steering wheel for now, as I saw many people has a problem with light.
Now my question if I buy the steering wheel Column, do I need to just exchange them, or I need to recode with A star

ClivePratt

hi again, so I finally got the steering column switch assy, a2129007702. it looks the same as the old one, when installed I still have the same problem, nothing on the steering wheel works, I can see where you plug the wheel to the column that there are 2 pins missing, so this is not the right part number, my next option is to swap the column switches from my 2013 to 2005 and see if that works, very frustrating as I now have a switch assy bought at great expense which is useless to me

ClivePratt

I meant swap the switches from my 2013 to my 2009, typo

MJ50

get this! :drool:

Roswell

Wow, sounds like a lot of problems just to upgrade the steering wheel.
