Is it possible to fit the newer W207 Style Steering Wheel into a W209?

Did any of you try this? Is that possible? Will the multifunction control work?

Here is the wheel I am thinking about:



Thanks in advance!

It's possible, because everything is CAN-bus driven/ For example, I have heard of guys swapping their W203 instrument clusters for the W209's and the features (like the cruise control ring) work. However, the cluster menu system on the newer MBZ's (including the C207) is different. It doesn't use the page up/down and scroll up/down like our W209's. Instead, it's that D-pad with the OK button. Again, it's possible that the W209 cluster would "understand" those CAN signals, but then again, maybe not.

Would you think it's worth it to upgrade to the new style steering wheels ? would it also be safe, for example the airbag will be able to fit? I have a 2005 CLK500, and I always wanted the E coupe steering wheel

Why dont u go for the W209 DTM Steering wheel ? This is DCT MOTOR SPORT STYLE ( PICS ATTACHED). U Can order it without the paddle since u dont have the M Mode.
And as well check this too :

That DCT MOTOR SPORT STYLE looks nice lol, but my CLK has paddle shifters on the back of the steering wheel. Will the airbag also fit securely and will the multifunction work? Thanks
