Steering wheel replacement
2010 ML350
My steering wheel leather is worn out. I tried to use one of those DYI leather covers that you sew in but and it looks awful. I called a upholstery shop and they said it would be cheaper for me to find a decent shape steering wheel off ebay and just replace the steering wheel. I'm looking at $300-$400 just to replace the leather from the shop
Has anyone replaced the steering wheel on their vehicle? Is there any programming involved? I see a number of steering wheels on ebay between $100-$200 but it looks like the airbag and module all need to be transferred to the new steering wheel.
Doesn't look hard to take off- probably need an impact gun for the screw holding in the steering wheel but everything else looks straight forward......??????

Guess I need to get my butt in gear and do mine.

No experience replacing one on a MB, but it was just undo the center nut and unplug on other cars. I've never needed an impact to get the nut loose - not that much torque on them. Make sure you disconnect the battery before disconnecting the wheel to prevent airbag lights and center the old wheel before pulling it off.

i don’t think the steering wheel I bought is compatible. I see a green wire that I’m not sure where to plug in. I haven’t taken the airbag off yet to see the part number of my current steering wheel but I think this is wrong. It connects to some little module on the bottom- I see other steering wheels on eBay without this green plug
i saw a YT video and the only plugs were 2 for the air bag, a black ground wire and the left/right paddle shifter plug
nothing green as seen below
