OP if you are still here,,, How has the car been? Do you still have it?
If you have no problems would you recommend the change to others?
If so do you have a list of mods that you did?
I think I would keep my car if I could do this successfully...
You see the list in my answer n. 11 ..
If you have more questions contact me ....
Thanks, I missed that post...
I wonder if an auto body shop woul dbe able to do the mods better than the dealer... (I will go back & re-read the whole thread carefully , maybe you answered that ques..)
The MB dealer made only the can bus and cables modifications.
A friend of mine who repairs damaged cars made the external modifications using original MB parts.
No, I didn't . I think it's impossible.
Next week I'll show you my new steering wheel . It's the same of CLS 63 AMG . I modified the buttons so they are fully integrated.
Very cool Claimweb! But you should install the AMG silver trim (where it says AMG on the bottom instead of airbag) and fit it with the R231 SL leather airbag!
Nice to see you here,Claimweb!
Come detto nel nostro MBCI,gran bel lavoro!
Do you have any exhaust sound videoclip? If so,post them...it would be much appreciated!
The steering wheel is now fully compatible with NTG2.5 and NTG2.0 .
I modified the inside electronics parts. The central buttons are now black.
I tested it also with a Mercedes ML W164 . All perfect.
I installed it in my car only one day for test.
I'd like to sell a lots of modified steering wheels. I found only a german ebayer who sells it for 1.900 euros.
I think I can sell it for a lower price.

Here you see the work in progress ...
what did you have to do to make that steering wheel work with the R class I’m actually in the process of doing it myself got the wheel awaiting the air bag. Thought it would be a simple swap but I’m guessing it’s more complex
Yes ....
Comand NTG2.5, new harman Kardon ( two amplifiers ), Tv Tuner, multimedia interface, back camera, new steering wheel with amg paddles and voicetronic ...
All as model year 2012 ..
by any chance can you help me out and maybe tell me the process you went through to get the steering wheel swap I purchased a steering wheel from a cla amg and would love to swap the original out already purchased the wheel and air bag.

how you modify the buttons I have the same wheel and I’m trying to do the mod this blog actually inspired me to do it as well so now I’m just trying to get it installed.
The electronic upgrade has been done by a friend called Alsad in the italian MB forum. I don't know the single modification but it is not simple.
Now the car is in Germany .. sold 3 years ago.

well I appreciate and thank you for the response guess I just spent 500 American dollars for nothing because I wouldn’t know where to start here in America with getting that done. So it looked great on your build was just trying to follow that up here but guess it’s a no go. This was going to be the swap but guess it’s a lost cause here in America. 😫😢
