Installed wood steering wheel and lost shifter function
Well, I installed a wood steering wheel yesterday and discovered that the car
(2003) will no longer change gears, when
using the shifter.
Anyone know of a hack, to get the shifter
function back?

After that, you need to go into Xentry and disable the steering wheel shift buttons, then the new paddles and everything will work as expected.

I installed a wood steering wheel from a
2002 S600. It has no paddles.
This replaced the stock S55 AMG wheel,
which has paddles.
I had to disconnect a small white harness
connector, which only has two wires going
to it. That connector/harness goes to the
left and right paddle switches (S55 wheel).
I used to have the same 2002 S600
wood steering wheel in my 2001 S500,
and the shifter could change gears, no problem.
