Exclamation steering wheel with gear shift buttons

Dear all,
i have a c230 komp SS 2005, my steering wheel is the three spoke (the one in all 2005 SS models) , i lately found in a shop a steering wheel that is the same of mine but without the airbag ( mine fit perfectly) but it has gear shift buttons on the back , i don't know for which car is it but the guy told that maybe it is the one for the slk, i was wondering if someone did that or know about making the gear shift buttons work if i installed the steering wheel, thank you a lot in advance for your help

no it's not the c55's, the c55 steering wheel have the + & - buttons on the front, but this one has the buttons on the rear

Oh you are correct. It's the E55 that I've seen this on.

as the guy told me it was for a slk , anyway how can i make the buttons gear shift buttons work , i saw in some threads that the w203 2005 are easier than 2001-2005 because i already have the three spoke steering wheel

sorry i meant that its easier than the 2001-2004 versions, and for example look at this german's model : http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/sh...ne&tabNumber=2
it has an analog climate unit, and gearshifts from the back (but not like than one i was talking about) , i never saw a USA c230 having this

If your car already have the back buttons then its easy to retrofit otherwise you have to wire it up to your transmission,

i took a picture of the airbag of my steering wheel , u can see that i circled 2 things and they are exactly as the wires that come out from the gear shifts , i think it is by default compatible, anyway tomorow i will try it
