Upgrading a 2015 W205 to a carbon fiber led steering wheel?




Questions:
- Has anyone performed this upgrade on their vehicle and can answer questions?
- Does your led steering wheel also vibrate for lane departure and drive assist? (a.)
- Can Distronic be controlled using the new steering wheel buttons?

There are three led steering wheel options I've seen available:
- Two of them will require you to get your own replacement round air bag. (Apparently, it's against the law in china to sell airbags)

- The other simply transfers the existing air bag from your oem steering wheel.
Lastly, there are many different versions of the led unit. The most current and popular is called the 5th gen OHC Galaxy Pro.

Note. this seller is selling only the steering wheel. OEM air bag, buttons (paddles?) will need to be transferred.

if youre upgrading the wheel to a newer wheel youll need to get a wheel with lane assist. the newer wheel has the vibration module in the wheel

make sure you go with a reputable seller who has alot of these wheels under their belt. otherwise youll be battling programing issues.

The safest choice is to get same style led wheel (in carbon) and transfer everything over.
Even trying to get a 2019+ round air bag is sketchy.

thing with the 2019 airbag is there are 3 different versions of the airbag. iff you get the wrong one it wont fit the wheel

Also, trying to get an Aliexpress seller to customize any product correctly has always ended up badly for me.
Plus, I will lose the ability to file a dispute since it was custom and not as advertised. (It's best to keep things simple).
