I can make it 95% plug n play if I get your cars SSID. Then it thinks it belongs to you car and all work like it should, But it might be missing a menu or 2. Since that is unique to every car. Very easy to program.

You dont see it that well in real life. They are as lined up as I could, to that diff and chrommebar since they are not made for each other. Might be a little adjustment made..If i find it importent enough in the near future..

Looks great Chris! Do you know if the switch panel from a 2015 E class sedan (silver buttons) would fit into a 2013 as it did with your convertible? I was planning to buy one to test the fit but am having trouble finding one with all the features I need.

Thanks

Will I get any error if I have two hazard buttons? I would love the facelift clock piece but I am having trouble finding that as well. Nothing I have found on eBay or any other sites so far.

"Small detals make the big changes" The condition of centerconsole was not good enough for me so had to be changed. Bought a farly cheap new one..



NOT OK for me..





Sooo easely done..2 screws and done...And the seat it self just sits with one screw and then just "klick" it of by puching it uppwards.



And done.....
