Smile FS: flat bottom steering wheel AMG

I have purchased one walnut and one flat bottom leather steering wheel for my W212 - and have decided to keep the wood wheel.

This flat bottom, paddle shifter wheel was sold to me as brand NEW - having never been installed. It looks absolutely new, but has a small nick on the trim.
The electrical connector appears new, and to never have been used. AUG 2013 production date

Part #: A172 460 4203

I can't answer specific fitment questions for you. First photo will reference the models this part number will fit.

$350 + $18 shipping to cont'l US. PayPal

David

Does this steering wheel support lane tracking assist function?

I saw this flat bottom wheel at my dealer the other day while they were doing their inspection for the extended warranty. It was in a CLS and really liked it.
However, I don't like it enough to spend that much money.
The question about the Lane Assist feature puzzled me because the only steering wheel interface I have with that system is through the settings menu to enable or disable it.
Am I missing something on my car I should be aware of? 2011 E350 4Matic Wagon.

Lane Assist is an option. Not standard equipment.

it was standard on the W212 wagons in Canada in 2011 MY. I don't know if it was an option on the sedans of the same vintage.
I know it works great and I love it. I don't even get bothered if it alarms when I get too close to a bush on a back road.
My question however stands. Is there some steering wheel interface other than through the settings menu for the Lane Assist that I am not aware of?

Don't you need a compatible air bag to go with the wheel?

That depends......if my mother-in-law is to be the primary driver, then no.

If I was the primary, then yes, of course.



P.S. airbags are $300-$400 on ebay. Buyer could always resell their existing setup and recoup the costs.

$350 plus shipping for a slightly damaged wheel and another $300-400 plus shipping for an air bag that is intended for this wheel? As much as I like it. Nope!
Now imapheatonguy, you best watch out for the mother in law!

You are correct, sir.

It should cost nothing to upgrade a steering wheel on a Benz.

Nope. Not intended to "crap" on his pricing. Just saying it is something I wouldn't do for the price. If I wanted one I could but I don't. Besides, it is damaged by his own description, he didn't show the damage and he is offering still wrapped in the plastic so you can't get a good look at what you are buying.
Good luck to him. I hope he finds a buyer.
Since you like it so much why don't you buy it. Seems there is a match here.
