installing sport e350 steering wheel from w212(2013) in w211 (2007)
Hello,
I bought a performance steering wheel from a W212 E350 - SLK R172 steering wheel with paddle shifters going to swap into my 2007 E350 211 (hopefully!)
air bag connectors appear to be the same. BUT the original W211 wheel has an electronic module with a different connector ( only 3 wires in ( from airbag module with switches)
New wheel has a larger connector w/ many terminals but only three wires / positions used in connector. New wheel does not appear to use or have a module ( is the module incorporated into the new wheel shown?
are the 3 wire in the w211 wheel the same 3 wires in the w212 plugs? Match colors?
Any thoughts or guidance?? - Looking for HELP PLEASE
Thank You in Advance!
E350@11Andrew existing harness three wire to steering column plugs into module... + airbag connectors existing module in w211 Three wire from airbag / switch assembly plus into module as well ( 2 right side plugs as shown in pic) New wheel with different connectors. Is it possible to match up 3 wires with out control module? how can I made paddle shifters work... Or is it possible? HELP PLEASE!
base of the wheel is completely different it will need to be cut down to fit your spline
buttons are completely different,
airbag you can install just need to swap airbag connectors from oem airbag to the new one.

This is nonsense. See the link. It's been done many times.

that’s not a direct plug and play. If you don’t believe me go try it. Wheel needs to lock in on its own and only then can you install the lock nut. Look at the spline of your oem wheel and the w204/w212 it’s not the same. Trust me I know what I’m talking about. Why do you think everyone hasn’t done the swap already?

read through your own link you shared. Different steering column.
so like I said you can make it fit by shaving down the spline to the same diameter. Then you need to figure out the electrical or contact 77performance for the module which will set you back around $1500 (just for the module)
