NEW TOUCH steering wheel upgrade on Mercedes C300 (W205) 2015+

[@ThatGuyShel]

aw man, this is lovely!!!! Flexx with the W205 content once again! We appreciate this!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Thanks. You know I can’t stop modding the 205. Lol

[@jdub7771]

Flexx is my inspiration to mod mines. He's the man!

[@hl3369]

Wow talking about coincidence, I just ordered exactly the same steering wheel for my c63s. This clip just perfect in showing me how to.

[@57RollsRoycePhantom]

Wow that looks great!!! It’d be nuts if that exact look came on regular ‘22 c classes straight from the factory 🤤🤤

[@sidyogendra5504]

You’ve made your car look super updated

[@The_McD]

That’s not a bad price for a custom wheel. Looks avant-garde. Next level.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Yeah. And selling my oem stuff gave me some of that money back for sure.

[@royalhype3737]

that looks good asl. since the steering wheel colors is a gloss black you should get the rest of the interior gloss piano black to match it'll look insane

Great video. Thanks Flexx

[@davisnguyen9809]

i still waiting for your mod on the digital cluster one, hope to see it soon

[@Alejo__]

Everyone should use a new steering whee bolt after putting new one on. Those bolts are one time use , i work as a parts advisor at benz.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Yeah, that’s what Mercedes recommends but I’ve never had an issue as long as the steering bolt is showing no signs of wear, I use loctite, and it’s torqued properly. And I’ve changed my steering wheels many times and in many cars. I should get a new bolt going forward especially when they are pretty cheap to buy.

[@Alejo__]

@@TheFlexxGarage i feel you, yea we usually change them for warranty purposes. Same with one time nuts and screws.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I did a video on this using a special dongle.

[@pandaworld84]

This is actually a cool modification, nice! Does the steering wheel come with any adapter? Also when screwing back why did you do it to the C and not B position? Thx

[@DizzyTV2012]

Looks awesome! I am from Switzerland and I‘m wondering how long the shipping took? I have a Vibration function on the oem steering wheel on my c43. Does it work also on a newer one like yours in the video?

[@etsyunitedshopsgroup7545]

Hey Flexx, Love the new wheel. I thought you had your steering wheel wrapped?? at the beginning of the vid you just had some cheap wrap on it. Did it turn out to be bad? I just bought one and was planning on installing it tonight. Thanks Dude.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I took it off cause my wife didn’t like the alcantara feel. She likes the steering wheel to be more slick

[@experienceGM]

Missed your content and upgrades. Is it possible to make a red seat belt upgrade?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Of course it’s possible if you have the money and time to do it. I don’t know if I’ll do it. Maybe.

[@Sarguran7736]

the change is spectacular, one question did you have to code the new steering wheel or was it plug and play?

If only it didn’t say amg but I looks great!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

my car is an AMG package from factory so it's fine. But if its not your cup of tea, as mentioned in the video, you can customize it however you want with DMP. There's tons of options. It's pretty cool what they can do.

[@jdub7771]

Does this come in different colors? I have a 2017 c43 that I'd like to do this to, but my interior is cream. I think the black wheel with red stitching wouldn't look good. Always awesome videos man!

Did you buy from DMP? If not, it’s not the same steering wheel. DMP’s steering wheels are plug and play. Others on the market, I don’t know their setup/quality. Sounds like yours needs programming. If it is from DMP, just reach out to them and they’ll get you up and running.

[@simonbohorquez2596]

Good evening Flexx, I was watching your video and I couldn’t help but notice an AMG section in your cluster settings when showing the up and down touch on the steering wheel. How did you manage to get that on there? Was it because of the steering wheel installation or just factory? Thank you for the great content, all the best

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I did a custom coding on my car using an OBD2 module. It allowed me to install AMG features and disable my annoying seat belt warning and shut off the Auto start stop. I had to remove the video because the reseller stopped selling the module. It was cool. Now I can record track time, know my g-force, know my engine oil and coolant temperature and more.

How does the cruise control work if it has own switch for it on the side

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It works the same way it’s always been working. That’s how the car came from the factory. Go look at your car’s manual for details on how it works. The cruise control buttons on the new steering wheel just doesn’t do anything and i must use the OEM cruise control lever. That’s all.

I just replaced it with another OEM wheel because my leather was peeling, don’t see how I could’ve lined it up wrong when the plugs are there for guidance.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Changing a steering wheel doesn’t cause alignment issues to the car. Even if you accidentally put on the steering wheel crooked, you can still hold the crooked wheel, and the car will still track straight. I don’t know what happened on your install, but if that was me, I’d go get an alignment check asap.

[@marcostanco8795]

@@TheFlexxGarage appreciate the quick reply. Turns out I put the wheel on crooked 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Didn't you need a converter for this handlebar?
