Steering wheel swap question
Hello Everyone,
I have done a lot of searching on the forum and a general google search and can't seem to find the answers I am looking for.
I have an AMG steering wheel with the shifters and I want to install it in my 2006 E350. I know how to remove it and put it back on but my question is about the wiring.
The yellow and green go to the airbag. What about the other 2 wires? does anyone know where it plugs into? Does anyone have any pictures of where it should go? Am I missing a part? I know once its installed I have to hook it up to the Star Diagnostic computer to have it recognized but before that I need to have it all plugged in.
Thank you all in advance for all your help.

there is some sort of connector on the steering wheel where the other 2 wires connect. maybe your AMG steering wheel didnot come with it.

You're not going to create steering wheel shifting on a car that didn't originally have it simply by changing the steering wheel. The wiring doesn't exist on cars that didn't originally have steering wheel buttons/paddles.

Steering Wheel
Thanks everyone for the response. I think I figured out that I am missing a part that the horn and shifters plug into.
I found this photo and there is a bar that the plugs go into.
This is a pic of what I have without the air bag. Does anyone know what goes on the area that I circled and put an arrow on? I think its that bar like the pic above. Where can I get the info on getting the part number.
Again, thanks everyone.
