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.

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.
