R170 Steering Wheel Compatibility

I'd like to change out the steering wheel in my 01 SL600 and I'm looking at OEM options which will fit with no surprises. Is it confirmed that the 01+ R170 SLK steering wheel is a direct swap with the 99+ R129 SL? If not, what specifically needs to be modified/cut/adjusted in any way?

Thanks

MANY members have done the swap.

Best way to find out, is to do a search on the subject right here or BenzWorld.

Good to know!

Yes, while searching provides valuable info, perhaps there was knowledge uncovered over the last 10-15 years since the topic was last discussed.
