I'm looking at a GLC43 that has heated steering wheel option but can't stand the C300 round wheel because of the heated option.

Just want to fact check - The car has AMG package, so it should come with the AMG performance steering wheel with alcantara like the C43s right?

I know the GLE 43 /63s have heated steering wheel in the Performance wheel form ( flat bottom + alcantara + heat) . The GLE heated performance steering wheel looks exactly the same as the performance wheel that comes with the AMG package for C/ GLC. Does anybody know or has anybody tried putting in the GLE heated performance wheel on their GLC?

Wait until the facelift, because I think they may include a heated performance steering wheel. They showed what it may possibly be a preview of a heated performance steering wheel Redline Reviews' GLC 63 drive, and you can option what looks like a heated performance steering wheel for the E53 on MBUSA right now.

I would if I am buying new, but unfortunately, I am looking at a pre-owned 2018 model..

If its heated it does not have the flat-bottom.
Its either one or the other.

GLEs have the option to have flat bottom + heat.

Check out the redline reviews video of the GLC 63. At approximately 8:15 he says this is a heated steering wheel and it has the button on it, which he shows. While that may be incorrect for the US, if it's true for this car then there may be a way to wire that specific AMG wheel to have heat.

Not on the 18 GLC you are considering .

Yep, they have this wheel on the GLE or it looks exactly like this at least. Also can have the alcantara option with the GLE. If I can pull some part numbers and compare then I'd know if it can be retrofitted.


yes, it is not on the '18 GLC I am considering, that's why I wanted to know if anybody here has retrofitted the GLE wheel which has heat + flat bottom + alcantara to a GLC that came with the circle heated steering wheel.

I think it could still be retrofitted to a 2017 even though that's on a 2018. You just need to get the parts. As far as I know there wasn't any major change between 2017 and 2018 for that to not be possible.
