I am picking up my 550 this week and want to swap the wood wheel for all leather w/ paddles. Is this a simple swap? My only concern is that the car was not built or configured w/ a paddle shifter, so it might not take it. Is this the case, or is it a simple plug in the car would immedialtly adapt to?

 

It's supposed to have paddle shifters.

 

The CLK550 comes stock w/ the paddle shifters, but If you get the wood wheel option the paddles are deleted.

 

From what the dealer told me, switching from the stock steering wheel w/ paddle shifters to the wood one is a simple swap. Though I am not sure if the same is true the other way around going from the wood wheel to the one w/ the paddle shifters. Ok, so I guess I didn't answer your question.

However, if you have stone interior w/ burl wanlnut trim and you want to swap steering wheels, let me know.

And most importantly, congrats on the new ride. I think you will be very pleased

 

I have an tan all leather steering wheel in mint,I mean mint condition for trade if you are willing to?..well thats if you have the same tan interior

 

I have black interior w/ burl wood. I will find out today if it's an easy swap, hopefully it is just a "plug and play" situation! lol
