CLK63 Black Edition Wheel
Is there anyway to retrofit this wheel to work in our cars?

You need to ask Steve about the difference, but I think the '05 and '06 are fine in the electronics department for the paddle shifter.

The steering wheel is just a steering wheel, you need to add the buttons and the airbag back into the wheel.

The airbag is just the newer one that comes on later E classes, CLKs, Sl's ETC.. The earlier E's 03' 04 have a different airbag.. Im ready to buy this wheel, i just wanna make sure i can get these paddles to work, or at least swar my buttons, and electronics into it if neccesary.. Hmm...

No, i already have the airbag from another wheel i had laying around with the buttons... Its only the wheel, no bag, no buttons. Comes with paddles though, getting those to work is going to be the hard part. Cant wait, its gonna feel so good driving with that wheel.. <---- we need a smiley pushing paddles instead of the shifter..

I'm in the market for a new wheel too, please keep us up to date if this works. I'd appreciate it. I also have an '05 that should not have problems w/ the new style controls/bag.

Any of you swapping in the seats? for sure a weight savings, and damn SICKNESS in the looks dept but prolly no options w/fixed seats still for the weight and looks an even trade-off

Ok, well the wheel is on the way. now after a few emails with Steve @ MbenzNL seems that pre 05' E's might need a steering wheel control module.. dont know what that is.. Has anyone upgraded there 03-04 E55 with a newer 05-07 steering wheel with the newer airbag? So confused
