I finally got the son of a ***** hex bolt out. It took an air gun!
I also bought the column combination swifch. It’s quieter and much smoother when the turn cancels. It feels like a new car. I’m very happy with this mod!

Just completed the wheel upgrade myself in my 14 C250 Sport, but went from facelift wheel to facelift wheel with paddles. Love the paddles, makes you wonder why Mercedes didn't include them from the get-go. Easy install, took all of about 15 minutes.
Anyone looking for a facelift wheel without paddles? Ive got a spare now haha.
Gonna do further steering wheel retrofit.
Found this on ebay with arrow keys,
Buyer said it is for CL 217 , CLS W218 , CLA 117 , GL , GLA 156 , GLS , W292 ...
Will it work ?
It has different paddle shifters, and it is quite expensive.
Yeah, flat bottom. Can ship internationally through work, but it can be expensive.
Lemme know how much you want plus shipping cost and I'll see. I've already got the A45 with suede but the flappers do nothing on my 5g 277.6 transmission.
So after about 6 months or so, my A45 steering wheel is finally installed. I bought the wheel and airbag locally and the facelifted clockspring from Chris the Swede.
Had some shipping issues in the beginning as the package was flagged at customs. Second time around using regular postal the package arrived with no issues.
When I originally went to install the clockspring everything worked until I turned the wheel left. After discussing it with Chris, it was decided the clockspring needed to be zero'd out. So after a few weeks, I finally took my car into a local shop that had the hardware to check the angle. Sure enough, the clockspring was off by alot. Luckily, I never turned the wheel too fast or violently so I was able to not break anything inside. Zero'd out the clockspring and installed the wheel and everything is working with the exception of the paddle shifters, I don't think my car is capable of utilizing them so I need to see if I can find a metal shop to make me some paddle deletes.
Can you explain the procedure for "zero out the clockspring' ? Is this an install issue or software related? A week or so after installing wheel, I get ESP, Brake (ABS) errors.
[QUOTE=henry666;7470870]You have scan tool, so no need to disconnect car battery, and airbag won't expose during plug in.
First remove car key and remove column,
install just the new column, (not install steering wheel)
insert key turn to position 1,
test turn signal and wiper switch !
use tool read angle sensor live data, see if you can get angle reading.... <-- most important!
I have tried some wrong column, turn signal and wiper also work.
if you done this, we can move on.
[/QUTE]
When I go into a left turn, I hear two clicks. Once I compete the turn the turn signal cancels. That does not seem normal. Thoughts?
I have got the new AMG performance steering wheel,
it is full alcantara wrapped with big AMG shift paddles.
All buttons and paddles are working, buttons light up,
hand feeling is so great !
Probably it is a bit old to talk about it.
In case there is ESP fault that due to steering angle sensor error,
Steering angle sensor has internal fault...
Here are the steps can reset it.
1.
Take out the string connector, you will see the mainboard as photo.
Then take out the IR reflector.
Simply use a 2mm flat screw driver to pull both side gently, don't break it.
2.
take out the copper rotor disc...
be careful don't bend it!
3.
Use T10 unscrew it, then take Out the White gearwheel,
then wait for 10sec.
4.
On that white gearwheel, there is a hole on it.
Make sure it is pointing up, then put it back on the original location.
!! don't just put it back then turn the White wheel until that hole pointing up, this will cause of angle sensor error.
5.
install back the copper disc.
Make sure the middle teeth(red circle) is pointing to the hole on the White gearwheel.
6. Put back the IR reflector, install back the spring connector, now ready to test.
7. Install it back to your car, use a diagnose tool to read data steam of SCM (steering column module),
check that the angle reading is correct and it will change when you turn the spring.
8. If angle reading are correct, install back steering wheel and airbag.
Insert car key turn to position one, or press start button once if you have keyless.
Clear ALL fault codes in your car, especially in: ABR, SRS, IC, SCM.
That should fix the angle sensor internal error.
I have been searching around but no body mention about the angle sensor.
I would like to know if you had to change the column in order the paddle shifts work. I own the same steering wheel with the red stitchin but my column is different. Everything works on the steering but not the paddle shift.
I have installed this steering wheel and this column (clock string). Everything works (buttons, lights, etc) but the paddles shifts don't. As I was reading down all your replies I am thinking about ordering the A212 900 29 24 that a mate bought. But I want first that whoever solved this problem confirm this is the way to solve this problem.
Extra info: Don't know if this could help, but there's a little red man sitting in front of a red ball in my cluster. I think it's an airbag error.
I think the problem is my clock spring, I think that's why my paddle shifts don't work. This guy has the same steering wheel I own, but the clock spring is different and for him with that one, paddle shift works...
got this out of the new steering wheel , need the pinouts , cables are all 3 black . what is + ? wat side is - ? wat side is data cable ? somebody know? pin say nr 6 and 5 and 4 are connected in this 6 pin connector

I don't know the actual pinout,+ - signal etc.
But yes only 3 pins is used.
If you have Distronic then it uses 5pins, but you need Steering column with 5pins socket and Steering wheel with 5pins plug.
