2018 C63S COUPE
Question W205 FACELIFT STEERNG WHEEL RETROFIT ISSUE

Ive got a 2018 C63S and installed the facelifted steering wheel.

I love how it feels and look - However, when I use the paddle shifters to shift they are really extremely delayed... any thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance
- Matt

That's not a FL steering wheel. That's an aftermarket steering wheel that resembles the FL steering wheel. The actual OE FL steering wheel is not compatible with the PFL w/o some custom circuitry to convert signals. Your best bet is to talk to whoever sold you the steering wheel.

not 100% accurate

while the wheel isn’t compatible right out of the box that goes for most of the other wheels as well.


as for op I agree reach out to whoever did the programming on the wheel
