Now you can buy 2019 steering wheel from many vendors with plug and play box but only two issues are cruise control and lane assist.
You have to use steering column's cruise control switch to operate cruise control.
Lane assist. They removed wheel's vibration from 2019 cars and this function will be disabled but lane assist will work anyway.
I don't like this scenario and this is only one reason why I'll keep the original steering wheel because I want all functions working as they should. Another way is to buy a steering wheel, column module, column cover, lane assist module and find someone who will reprogram everything. This is much more expensive and I don't have people who can do coding in WA state for our cars. In this case:

We make this retrofit, with all function activated. The MRM is not so expensive and is mandatory to be exchanged, as the Distronic / Tempomat should be on Steering Wheel, not on the MRM lever.
Also the vibration motor is replaced with Steering Column function, the Airbag has only one stage...a little coding and everything will be safe.
The 'plug&play" interface is useless as Distronic and Vibration is inactive.

Thx bro ! So do you sell a package for this with explanation :o ??? Because I'm living in Belgium TT_TT
I've never code on a mercedes so I don't know how to do... I opened a new thread for this problem here https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...my-2019-a.html

Now in the S63 (and also the E63?) models for MY2020, the U88 AMG Performance button option can be ordered, looks cool:

Works neat (video from C63S):
For MY18 and earlier you need a new AMG steering wheel also, but the question is if this U88 option can be retrofitted relstively easily for MY19 S63 and E63 cars that already have the new AMG steering wheel?
I just noticed in the Configurator that this U88 option costs approx Euro 420 but can NOT be combined with the Heating Comfort Package, probably it does not work together with (the wiring of) a heated steering wheel?

The additional controls on the steering wheel are called "AMG Drive Unit" with option Code U88. The new AMG performance steering wheel has option codes L6J, L6K, and L6L - apparently you can option these wheels with the U88 for the new C class and GT Coupes only. Someone with the 2019 C63 DOG and GT Coupe DOG can confirm this. The U88 option is not included in the 2019 E DOG - but likely will be a future option as stated by @jm_case above.
Now on 2020 G63 also

The horses are now in the barn, 2019 E63s
I contacted my dealer and also a prolific MB modification guy (CKM; website and YouTube channel) both said it wasn’t possible to retrofit the AMG Drive unit controls to MY19 cars.

Interesting.........might not've been possible anyway as it seems you have a heated steering wheel. My understanding is that only MY19 & 20 can be retrofit anyway.
Great looking wheel regardless.
