Upgrading a 2015 W205 to a carbon fiber led steering wheel?
With the stock Parts transferred?




They have a 100% rating on Ebay, not sure why they are playing games.




The original trim has to be transferred to the new wheel (including the motor inside)








10 seconds after I make the order, they are changing stories. Who knows what I would receive for my $1000?.
"the whole vibration motor thing is not a big deal as it can be transferred over from the stock wheel"
So what was the extra $150 she was demanding for?????

plus it would be foolish to install a wheel from china using their parts as apposed to your oem parts that you know 100% function.
if youd like to jump down the rabbit hole with me i can tell you the w205 wheel also comes with 4 variations of steering wheel buttons and 8 different steering wheel control modules. if you install a set that is different from your car there is a good chance it wont work unless its coded to your car. so again its foolish to not use your oem buttons. most companies avoid selling complete wheels for w205 for that reason. a simple build will turn into a complete nightmare real quick
in addition if youve never bought parts from china, most of the sales reps dont actually know english. you cant send long complicated messages. something is going to get lost in the translator. Iv ordered carbon lips, diffusers and such. same thing got to break it down.
but anyway look around at all these different carbon companies. chances are they are all selling empty cores for the reasons above. $1000 is not a bad price for the options you selected

And I have no clue what that connector is, are you sure it doesn't tie into the upper components? My OEM wheel only has 2 connectors and they are both rectangular and plug into the column. Left for the wheel buttons and right for the airbag.

I am just curious as to what it connects too (speaker, buzzer?) and why there is a duplicate in the aftermarket wheel. I thought everything with wires would transfer over to the new wheel.
I sent out some messages.

EDIT: I finally connected it to a 12 volt battery. The wheel comes with a built-in vibration motor. (who knew) Bzzzz! Bzzz!
