3 spoke steering wheel.
Does anyone know if the 3 spoke sport steering wheel from the 212 fits the sport package 212 that has the 4 spoke steering wheel? I would think they would fit but I need comfirmation. My Dealer is telling me no. He owes me a steering wheel but I think he's trying to get out of it by saying it doesnt fit.
I'd like comfirmation before I go and rip him a new one.
Thanks in advance.

- basic
- basic with heat
- basic with heat and lane keeping assist
- basic with lane keeping assist
The 3 spoke wheel does not work with heat nor with lane keeping assist. Thus if you have either of these features in your car, you cannot swap (or perhaps you can but the features won't work, might give error codes, etc).

I have the lane assist and the 3 spoke sport steering wheel. It all came factory... If you mean lane assist your talking about that little coffee mug in the dash correct? If so, I have both..

I have that feature as well. I have the coffee cup on in my cluster. I'm trying to find out if I can use that streeing wheel or not. How is it that the attention assist being has to do with different steering wheel styles. If that feature is programed for the car wouldnt every steering wheel work?? Sorry I'm just trying to get a soild answer before I go back to the dealer and make him get me that wheel..

ATTENTION ASSIST has nothing to do with the steering wheel.
You're on your own for figuring out what options your car does/doesn't have. Look at your build sheet/bill of sale!

Well I know what my car has. I'm wondering if the wheel has any effect on anything other then its normal functions.
I was promised the 3 spoke wheel but didnt get it because they claim it didnt fit. I want to be able to prove to the idiot dealer that it doest fit if in fact it fits so thats why I'm here asking.

In sweden the 3-spoke steering wheel is included in the AMG-package. The details for the package states that if you have lane assist you won't get the 3-spoke wheel.
So I think your dealer is telling you the truth. But he should have known this before he made you this promise.

Well if he is telling me the truth then he should not not made me that deal.
With that said maybe I can try and get something else out of him since he still didnt live up to his end of the deal.

Since you are in the USA, Lane Keeping assist will be in combination with distronic plus and blind spot assist (Driver Assistance Package). So, do you have these features as well? If you do, the 3 spoke steering wheel is absolutely not possible with you car. If you do not, then it is possible. Good Luck.

Did you figure out yet what options your car has? It will be an easy question/answer once we know how it is built.

Blind Spot Assist and Lane Keeping Assist both vibrate the steering wheel when activated. The vibrating mechanism is part of the four spoke steering wheel but is not available with the three spoke steering wheel. Thus, if you have the Driver Assist Package, you cannot get the three spoke wheel.
I have the four spoke wheel with Driver Assist and the special order heat and am very happy with it.

Well I do have the lane assist feature so I guess I'm out of luck with the 3 spoke wheel deal. Its OK.
I hit him up for free weather rubber mats. At least I'll get something I need and not have to spend money on it. Thanks for all you input.

hehe, get those mats!
lol, that's awesome, I love working out a bargain!
dealers are expecting customers to get upset, about many things but the way I see it, I can use that to my advantage.........and NOT get upset, and just get myself some 'extras',
whatever they may be......lol

Exactly. I wasnt upset. I just wanted to get what was coming to me and if not the exact piece, something else, but I'm gonna try and get my money's worth... I hope he didnt expect me to just walk away like ok no steering wheel, oh well.. NOT..

This is a little off topic, but is the 3-spoke sport steering wheel thicker than the standard wheel. I know the sport wheel has a different shape, flat at the bottom and thumb notches, but wasn't sure if the rim was thicker or not. Thanks for any help!
