Hello boyhamdzui
My e350 swap steering today but all bottom not work ! Can you tell me how to do ? Thank you so much

shotgun_banjo

what chip are you guys talking about?

boyhamdzui

Ok, I will give a better explanation. There is a board which link to the brown connector. It's inside the steering wheel. When you swap that board from your old steering to the new ones, everything will work including horn. Hope that help whoever doing the project.

I just discovered I need to do this as well, I swapped over the steering wheel but none of the buttons / horn worked.

Does anyone have an explanation of how to swap the board over, before I disassemble two completely good steering wheels

Pictures would be GREAT, as I assume the board from a 2010 wheel will not fit nicely into a 2012+ wheel, the dimensions are totally different

Old board up to june 2012.
new board will cost you 150+ euro. let me know if u need new board.

No I have everything I need, I just need to know what steps before I destroy something.

Good morning all,

I'm new on this forum and have a question regarding the steering wheel swap.

My car is a E350 CDI Executive Coupe black with 18" AMG Wheels

My question is the following:
I plan to swap my steering wheel from the actual without shift paddles to the new one with shift paddles.
I'm just wondering if the shift paddles would work or if I have to buy or do something to make it work?

Many thanks for your help.

Nice! thanks for the thread, will look into this asap, was curious since I had seen carbon trim for that steering wheel...

Smooncef

UP!

It won't work as plug&play , have to intervene with electronics to make it work. I did so in golf 6.

Smooncef

Hey!

Thanks for your reply.
I didn't tried to remove the SteerWheel in order to check if the connectors are available as "factory pre-installed"

I have two questions:
1 - Does anyone has already the answer for the "factory pre-installaed"?
2 - What should I do to make it works as you Dav?

Peace!

Hi I'm fairly new to the forum and I've been following this thread with anticipation of changing my black steering wheel from my 2011 A207 220 cdi to a 2012 chrome surround with red stitching taken from a A250 2012 model bought from EBay with matching airbag. Also bought from EBay new. With not having access to a T30 torqx key and an apprehension of doing it myself I took it to Mercedes franchise . All went well until they tried the steering wheel commands and then no communication between the wheel and the commands. They informed me that the software was not compatible between the two. Yet after consulting with a couple of Merc technicians they said there should be no problem. So at the moment I'm stuck in the middle of the deep blue sea not knowing which way to turn.
Please any help to resolve my problem would be truly grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hi I have a w204 c class 2010 model.
I installed a 2012 flat bottom steering today all fits perfect and drives fine.
However the horn button controls light on steering and trip gears are not working.
Any 1 have a clue what I need to do to get it all working

dav461

Yes, buy a new contact plate for models prior June 2012. Your new steering wheel came with new plate. If you need one let me know, I think I have something. Send me photo of steering wheel , your VIN number , and serial number on steering wheel ( can take a photo of it )

Eddyjee

Thanks for your reply.
The new steering came with only steering and airbag not sure what the contactor is.
I'd appreciate it if you could get it for me how do I go about contacting you

dav461

It's located inside steering wheel on 4 screws as I remember , just beyond the airbag. If you want one drop me details I asked you and delivery address, so I can give you a quote.

Address is e61bl in London

does anyone wanna sell there older steering wheel to me i need it complete

sp33dy

There is a chip inside the old wheel. Like a small circuit board. You need to fit that in the new wheel with the help of an electrician. I did it with the help of a guy that worked at Mercedes and was also an electrician. The board will not fit correctly so it will need to be cut but don't do it yourself.

Eddyjee

I'll sell you mine how much you wAnna pay for it.

Make me a decent offer and I just might sell

Eddyjee

Hi I will be posting company details for the guy who sorted mine out if you wanna try them am sure they can assist with many issues on steering wheels or any mod for that matter
I'll send details later today
