Can I upgrade my steering wheel on my 2011 C300?
I hate my steering wheel and I want to upgrade it to the 2012 or 2013, has anyone here done that before? If yes, please contact me, I want to make sure i don't lose any of the steering wheel controls etc. and if I can get an idea on cost I will greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your recommendations.

Pretty damn sweet but I bet that cost over $1000! Not worth it imo but cool mod if you got the money to blow

Is yours a 2011? Did you upgrade the steering wheel after you purchased the car?

You can try DCT Motorsports. They can customize yours or you can purchase one from the dealer.

I know you are looking for the facelift 2012 one but here is a pic of my stock redone. Was a lot less expensive than purchasing the a new C63 one

Pretty awesome! I think I may just do what you did and call it a day! It's cheaper to go that route anyways. How did they customize your steering wheel? Can they do stitching in a different color or red is it? How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks a lot!

Sure - I will be interested to know. It will probably be shipped from Germany since your brother works there?

Let me know man. Thanks!

One more thing, Stimpgsx, I checked the DCT MotorSports site and I don't see any steering wheel designs similar to yours, it looks like only the "ring" has been modified with thicker padding & red stitching, can you confirm?

You can have them do it however you want. I chose perforated leather sides. Thick grip and red stitching as my car is Mars Red. Write them an email and send them a picture of mine. He should remember as mine was the first c class wheel they did with red stitching. Cost should be $350-$400 with your core. $600-650 without it. That's if they haven't changed pricing since I got mine

Here's a question: how can you have a different navi than the one provided with Comand APS? That is a completely different navigation screen than in my 08 W204 and any other I've ever seen on any Mercedes.

Interesting... from what I saw on their website it looks like almost $1000 for a basic leather one plus $300 core.

they can get up in the $1500s depending on what you want. mine was fairly simple. best way to find out is to contact them via email/ phone.
