Facelift steering wheel
I installed my new wheel a couple days ago. I feel like i have a new car !lol!
The leather is so soft comparing to my old one. As well controlling the car feels different like my power steering has been upgraded!
I did change the steering column with one coming from the E class. Everything works fine ( lights, shift paddles, indicator, cruise control, wipers, memory function etc...). Took me 30 to 45 minutes to complete. You probably can do it faster once you know what to do
I'm starting to have a fresher look inside. CF will be next on the list. It's been a year since I wrapped the OEM trims.

Last time I checked, someone with an 09 in this forum switched the steering wheel to the 10+ and reported the backlit button light (those amber lights) would not work on the new wheel.
Can you confirm this issue is solved?

looks great. apparently the steering wheel works with our without the new steering column. the new steering column will just make the buttons light up at night. not a big deal if they don't light up imo.
anyway, i'm selling a steering wheel for my friend. no airbag though so you'd have to get that on your own. taking best offers if anyone else is interested.

I just bought an used steering column (#A212 900 3415 9051) for 175$ and the airbag (323$) off ebay.

You're right. The newer style column has different positions for those levers. If you sit into a 2012+ C Class, you'll notice it.

Old thread but to confirm, if I bought a facelift steering wheel like from a 2014 c63, I can install that to my 2011 e350 wagon by just buying and installing a colum from a facelift model?? And all buttons, paddle, lights will work with no issues? And don’t have to do a chip swap? Thanks

I have to apologize. I just went to the garage for a look and I can't find the steering column. I just moved and I am not sure if I got rid of it or if it is in a yet to be opened box. Either way not much help to you at this point. I don't believe it had the rear wipers, driver package or distronic so probably not much good to you anyway. Good luck with the facelift steering wheel install.

I decide to bite the bullet today and swap out the chip/board and it worked!!!! It was easier than I expected!! Boards were the exact same size and literally remove and replace. Then plug all the wires back in and all good to go.
Only thing is that I have an airbag error message that I have to remove. But the hard work is done!!
