if you have a 2019 prefacelift(so the w205 sytle wheel) then no you will need a decoder
if you have a 2019 facelift that has the 2020 style buttons then yes itll swap in

Here is a pic which I assume is older style and would require a decoder? Can you share details on this decoder?

yeah you’ll need a decoder for that wheel. I own RUcarbon and have a Christmas sale going on right now for a 2020 carbon wheel with the retrofit decoder and airbag for 1450
i also sell the decoders for 300 without lane assist, $350 with lane assist (includes computer box) $150 for just the decoder and you wire it into the computer chip (if you have the 2020 wheel already)

but regardless of what you do you need the decoder box for the car to know what to do with the new wheel.

OK got it, by chance do you offer just the couple of trim pieces for my existing wheel in the gloss black finish that I could swap out?

sorry I don’t. Don’t stock anything for the prefacelift wheel anymore. Most want to get rid of it.

Ok I have an askcarbon wheel. Love the wheel but had to disable the lane keeping assist. I don’t use it but would still like to have it with the option. Would this decoder work on mine? 2017 GTS with a 2019 wheel I believe.

as long as askcarbon uses oem buttons that arnt modified. Iv seen some companies modify the buttons themselves rather than modifying the computer chip in the center of the wheel.
but yes if the buttons are untouched you can absolutly change out the module and install a vibration motor with a module that has that additional wire.
