Part # for 2012+ steering wheel airbag

Any one know what the part number is for a w204 2012 steering wheel airbag?

This is the one I bought off ebay and it said compatible with w204. I've seen a few on ebay but the back looks different.




Most of the ones I've seen look like this


Here's another without the cables

There are many airbags installed on the car.

You also need to know the color, and whether it is a bag for a 4 spoke or a 3 spoke wheel.

The top post above looks suspiciously like a 4 spoke bag to me.

Thank you for the reply. I'm unsure what you mean by color? The airbag color matches my existing, which is black. If that's what you meant.

I didn't realize there was a difference between a 4 spoke and 3 spoke airbag. I assumed they were all the same but I thought I might be getting an airbag not for a w204. Thanks again.

Sorry- I misunderstood what you were asking at first. Different colors have different part numbers.

Here is an example of the 3 spoke wheel on the sport model and its associated airbag -

And the 4 spoke with its bag


Looks like you got sent a bag for a 4 spoke wheel... the difference is subtle.

You're right! I can see the bottom is wider on a 4 spoke vs 3 spoke. Very subtle indeed. Thank you. I will return it.

What's up man. Ya that's the one. I returned 1st one. You thinking about doing the swap too? If you're not in a rush, a cheaper one will show up eventually. I scored 1 yesterday for $300 shipped from Poland.

Nah, as of right now, I am focusing on exterior modifications more than interior modifications. The only thing I have done interior wise has been 8000k LEDs for every halogen bulb in the car.

You should have bought the leather clad one instead, much nicer

Yes those are definitely nicer. I saw some covers on ebay a few weeks ago and thought about it since I got a good deal on the air bag. But the leather wouldn't have matched my dash so I skipped the idea.

I guess I got what I paid for. Seller didn't mention the broken clips on the connector. Anyone know where I can get one of these connectors? At the same time, I've processed a return with the seller.

Ya. Seller sent me another cable. BTW the airbag is still the incorrect one so there's gaps underneath. Hopefully you won't make the same mistake. But I can barely notice so I didn't bother buying the correct one.
