Swap sport steering wheel for comfort wheel
I have the sport steering wheel and though it is fantastic, it lacks heated steering which is what I really would want in a $100,000 plus car.

Does anyone have any idea whether I could use a donor vehicle with heated steering and swap out my existing sport wheel? I'd want to ensure that the wiring and everything works to have the heated steering wheel.

I have a 2015 Canadian GL63

Thanks in advance.

I love whining and dining.

Thank you. I know that the sports steering wheel actually ends up costing extra as an option. I'm just trying to figure out if I can do a direct swap from a donor including the steering wheel, any harnesses, clock spring, column adjustments, fuses, etc.

May I ask where the button is on your vehicle to turn it on?

Steering wheels can be swapped . I replaced the leather one on my ML350 with a wooden one I found on eBay. The issue would be how to get the heating part.
