Exclamation E350 Sport Steering Wheel Swap on 10-12 GLK
Hi does anyone know if the sport steering wheel from a E350 sport from 10-13 bolt on and plug into a 10-12 GLK?

Is there a way to make the paddle shifters work?

I absolutely hate the boat steering wheel the pre facelift GLKs had.

Thank you

Not sure on the paddles because I have a manual, but I have an E350 sport wheel on mine. It bolts up just like the factory wheel.

You have a manual GLK?! What country do you live in? I didnt know they came in manual lol.

Anyways do the buttons work and can I use a stock glk air bag and swap it to the e350 sport wheel?

angryartichoke's GLK is what ours wanna be when they grow up. It was the confluence of (apparently) budget, skill and apparently a surplus of spare time. ;-)

Yes the buttons work and you can use the stock GLK air bag.
I swapped mine, but I believe they came in manual in Europe.

Manual with the M272 3.5l engine? Must be nice.

MANY more options outside of the North American market for this vehicle. Earlier model years, manual or automatic, a lot more engine sizes, paint colors, off-road package option, ventilated seats option, heated rear seats, other seat options for colors or mix of colors, climate controls for rear seat passengers etc.
