Carbon Steering Wheel Upgrade (ebay)

Well it was a disaster! Unless you have a wire guy at hand or get lucky and get the correct wheel it can work. I wont mention the EBAY vendor but I am sure you ALL can figure out who it is.

He is the finished wheel... It is not plug and go

Its a ****ing mess

The wiring from the seller is not correct AT ALL!
Also they sent a e63 first
then a e63 airbag

nothing worked

got the correct wheel
and still the wheel was not for a 2006 so it had to be re done
not fun at all

I can not stand how that wheel looks. I know it's expensive, but it looks like some cheap aftermarket steering wheel you'd buy at Pep Boys.

Well of course it didn’t work you have an E55 Lol and why would you need wiring if you’re not changing out the airbag. You don’t make any sense. I have an updated custom steering wheel from eBay but I opted to go with a newer style airbag which requires re-wiring. Not sure if it’s the language barrier or the improper grammar is to blame but I don’t understand what this thread is really about.

Also mustang who did you get your wheel from?
Issues? Good bad ugly?

Can you PM me the eBay vendor? I was actually planning on pulling the trigger on a flat bottom steering wheel, however this vendor has great reviews on eBay and even on this site, so want to make sure I don't have to go through the same headaches. The other thing is I plan on using my existing airbag, so there shouldn't have to be any wiring correct?

Sorry to hear about your troubles!
