03-06 sl55 steering wheel!!

Does anyone know where I can find a used 03-06 sl55 steering wheel with shifter buttons? If not used what about new? Thanks Pat.

There are a number of high line junk yards, and if you want new... the dealer.

However, I don't believe non AMG cars are wired to allow use of the shifter buttons.

I went down that road for about 3 months . You have to be very certain that the wheel you are getting has the same build date as your car. I searched for the wheel with the buttons for my SL55 a while back. AMG gave me 3 part numbers the would possibly work on my car---none did. I ended up getting a new wheel from the dealer at about $2,200. This is a classic case of buyer beware.
