Steering wheel (what makes it vibrate)
 
I just bought a oem wood steering wheel for my E350 2015. Im getting ready to swap it out. My car has Lane assist which makes it vibrate when crossing over lines in the road. I dont really wanna loose that function so does anyone know what makes it vibrate. Is there a motor inside of my steering wheel? And where would it be located. Thanks

Yes, there is a motor (may be two) that rotates an offcentric weight. It is located in the aluminum cast of the wheel center part and the cast has to have this space for it. Steering wheels on cars without this function do not have space for the little motor so hopefully you got the correct part.

Where re did you buy your steering wheel anyway?

just because he says he's a dealer and Germany really doesn't mean anything. I can help you if you want with OEM parts from MB. Pesonally know a MB parts dealer and I get a discount. I can also refer you to a a German guy near you over there in west coast fla he deals a lot with used and new MB's.

JohnnyC 02-25-2018 10:59 AM
you need to buy a new contact plate as well as the motor.....

EDIT: not buy, but transfer over.

JohnnyC 02-25-2018 11:00 AM
Lorenz320 i hope you bought a new airbag as well.

Lorenzo 02-25-2018 11:03 AM
Why would I need a new airbag. Can't I just swap everything over

JohnnyC 02-25-2018 03:15 PM
The airbag on your original wheel is shaped differently than the flat bottom you purchased. Go ahead and test fit it, you will see.

Lorenzo 02-25-2018 03:26 PM
Yeah I just tried. It snaps into place but the bottom of the airbag doesn't fit in so well. Oh well guess I'm buying a new airbag. Does anybody know the correct part number for one for flat bottom wood steering wheel

JohnnyC 02-25-2018 03:56 PM
Looks like the basic black airbag you need is A17286029029116

This is turning out to be an expensive swap. I have the same steering wheel you are installing and I must say it is a very nice addition.

Lorenzo 02-25-2018 04:05 PM
Well I knew it would be about 1,000 so I'm good with it

Could you please share that ebay seller. I wanted to swap to a wooden steering wheel (Burl walnut wood with grey dash interior). either flat bottomed or full circle is fine.

well i got my steering wheel installed. Im going to put in the correct airbag today. If anyone is wandering the vibrater is located at the bottom of the steering wheel. There is only 1 vibrator and 2 screws holding it in place. I found the correct vibrator for $40. Heres a pic of the install. And also i came across this black leather flat bottom steering wheel that ill sell for $150. Its really nice shape.

What’s up with the star on your horn/airbag?

If you mean the chrome its probably the way the picture took. Just a lighting thing

JohnnyC 03-01-2018 03:17 PM
looking good

Lorenzo 03-01-2018 06:37 PM
Thanks Johnny, im really happy that i bite the bullet and did it. It matches perfectly and the feel of the steering wheel is nice. Even better the flat bottom gives more room...That Black flat bottom steering wheel i have for sale is in almost perfect shape and i have it priced to sell.
