Mercedes E class 2012 W212 steering wheel replacement/upgrade

how to replace/upgrade Mercedes W212 steering wheel from Elegance to AMG steering wheel .

[@ajonsson2013]

You paused in like the most important part at 16 min. You could have removed the screwing parts instead

[@arpadkemeri8666]

agree to some level there but as stated in the video it's exactly the same operation as on the "original" steering wheel so figured why record that as well if that has already been showed.

[@dr.levanpertenava6051]

But that was most important

Hi so I recently picked up 14' MB E 550, was wondering if the steering wheel can be upgraded to an AMG wheel, the current wheel has the heated steering wheel function so I am not sure if it's possible for me to switch, would appreciate the help. Thanks

Since the airbag pops in, does it also pop out by prying in front, or should you push it out from behind? Also of you find the torque spec for the steering bolt, that will help in the future.

Thanks for your work putting this interesting video together. I recently had the original battery replaced on my 2005 E350 W211 after about 13 years. My problem is that although my clock does the same as yours and syncs to the GPS satellites, the DATE does not. After the battery change the date reverted to the original issue date of the vehicle operating system (sometime in 2003) and I am unable to reset the date via the COMAND System menu. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Thanks very much for reading and all help offered :-)

Yo legend has it that back in the day. When you don’t put the screw on the wheel it has the tendency to walk away.

[@grahamsmith7407]

Hi good video, when you say the electronic plate are you talking about the black plastic piece with the wires attached under the metal plate with the 3 screws? As i have just changed over my wooden steering wheel from my 2013 E400 sedan to an all leather 2016 AMG wheel? but didn't change the black plastic piece with the wires on? Is it necesary to change this for everything to work properly? As i have noticed sometimes the ilumination lights under the buttons on the new wheel come on by themselves but then turn off? Also my airbag warning light is coming on?

[@arpadkemeri8666]

hey Graham, yes, i by electronic plate i mean the steering wheels "motherboard" that is located where you described. If your steering wheel controls(buttons) are working fine that means you don't need to replace it . as far as button lights working intermittently, cause of that must be an imperfect connection so i would advise you to check all wires are connected properly. re the airbag warning, that could light up when if you don't disconnect the battery before unplugging the airbag wire. go to a local garage that has a mercedes star on any other diagnostic tool to delete the error and that should do the job. if the warning lights up again than that means you will need to install your "old" electronic plate/mother board just like i did . trust this helps

Was the color instrument cluster continued to show data that was on it previously or not?

[@ricardobroderick3163]

I thought the circuit board connectors are different and require soldering and figuring out the various connections and ports. Could you please provide details of that?

[@arpadkemeri8666]

hi Ricardo. yes, in some scenarios that could be required. ie. if on your current/stock steering wheel the electronic plate aka the circuit board is located on the airbag itself & NOT on the steering wheel part. ( in my case, both old & new steering wheels had the circuit board located on the steering wheel & not on the airbag hency why the wiring/cabling was the same so after swapping the circuit board it was just a plug&play job really). So when that is the case(when the circuit board is different you will need some soldering job as the wiring is slightly different. if that's the case drop me a note & i'll explain how to do it, it isn't that difficult as it might appear. hope this helps

[@ricardobroderick3163]

@@arpadkemeri8666 thanks, just did the mod and plug n play as you said.

Ricardo Broderick how do you get it to work ? I have a 2012 cls550 with a 2015 amg steering wheel but the buttons or paddle shifters don’t work

[@ricardobroderick3163]

@@1ahozz After I swapped the steering wheels, nothing worked either. Then I examined the circuit boards in each steering wheel. The shape was the same so I swapped them (unscrew the torks, unplug everything from the old board, take it out of the old steering wheel, then removed the board from the new steering wheel and put the old board in the new wheel and reconnected all the plugs making sure that each plug goes where they should). The boards were shaped the same, so I did not have to do any cutting and the controls were the same so i did not need to do any soldering. After doing this everything worked. My board swap was like 5-10 minutes. Now, I've read a lot on this and if the new wheel isnt compatible, the boards and or controls can be different, when this is the case it gets more complicated and people do 1 of 2 things. 1. Switch the boards by soldering/cutting or 2. Replacing the steering column multi-switch unit (the thing that is directly under the steering wheel with all the levers/sticks). If there is incompatibility, it means the electrical signal from the buttons/horns etc travels to the small circuit board but is then unable to hand off to the steering column connection due to hardware or software (hence why switching to old board OR switching the steering column works). This is a mod worth doing! I still look forward to grabbing the steering when sitting in my car lol

Hello! As i stated in the video, depends a lot on the specs of both cars. Ie. if your new steering wheel has the multifunction ball and the old one doesn’t(actually more than sure it doesn’t as w212 do not have multifunction botton in their steering wheel) . Than it will not work as coding will be different even if you replace the circuit board
