This is how my E55 AMG got a W213 wheel and EVERYTHING just works!

After a couple months of work, its finally happened! My W211 E55 AMG now has an almost 20 year newer steering wheel! Its amazing that with some knowledge and help from the right people, I can get almost all the features of the steering wheel to function perfectly with my custom PC infotainment setup.
Now the path is paved for me to start actually creating a nice interface on my PC Headunit!
A huge thanks to MBLink for helping me out on this project and doing some special modifications to their adapter for my specific requirements! You can check those guys out here!

I personally dont think the styling of the W213 wheel fits the W211, but how awesome is it that you manage to make this work with all the functionality that the wheel provides

[@valtzuuu]

Everything is better than ugly stock wheel...

[@makombost8140]

You make this stuff look easy. Absolutely impressed.

[@manualgarage]

Great work, this is really updating the w211 interior

[@NekoCentral]

Plan, Improvise, adapt, overcome. you truly are a inspiration on stuff i want to do on my saab

[@A4nKar]

You are sir a genius. Really enjoyed the video.....

[@traced82]

German TUV left the chat...

[@rkan2]

I think it is not actually a problem since it would have EU-approvals for use. The gearbox ECU though... :P

[@traced82]

@@rkan2 cutting around your steering wheel? Hmmm 😅

[@wolfgangbarthen]

Sehr gut umgesetzt!!

[@ArefMq]

Fantastic Job! 👍👍I am thinking about the same thing.

[@timgraf2651]

Great work! I’m alway impressed by your projects. Can you maybe make a video about star diagnosis and how you got it to work?

[@sappireflames0009]

that updated steering wheel would go very nicely with a more modern digital dash cluster. Although some prefer the analog mechanism.

[@falksweden]

Well done! I'm looking in to doing the same to my W211. Is your E55 a 2003 or 2004? As I understand it, it is possible to change the steering column on the early W211 to avoid to modify the steering wheel, something like swap to A2115401662. Then a newer steering wheel will fit bolt on. (Haven't tried it myself yet)

[@AaronGopito]

I need that head unit

[@oguzhannazlim]

I think you should work about digital cluster on w211

[@istratesebas9428]

Hi, I have a mercedes w203 220 cdi 2006 automatic gearbox and I have a problem with the gearbox, namely, after about 10-15 minutes it gets stuck in 2nd gear. If I stop and restart it recovers but not for long. On the diagnostics, the error P2561 appears. Could you give me some advice what could be the problem. Thanks in advance.

[@alansoler2653]

Hey bro, I've been thinking of getting the S55 would this also work on that car?

[@amgbenz8229]

where did you buy these adapters???

[@urmaskoiksar1424]

Hey can you help me with good gearbox software I have e420cdi w211

[@alexandrosmilonakos447]

And it passes TÜV ?? Without problems??

[@SuperMaladoi]

Hi. Love your work. How did you managed to get a ATF temperature in the AMG menu? Mine has only an engine oil temp...

[@RANDASH]

special patched version of IC211 software....and no, I won't be sharing this due to it being for a specific HW/SW part number, so its not really transferable

[@SuperMaladoi]

@@RANDASH would you mind to compile one for me pls. Will pay for that.

[@RANDASH]

unfortunately not. This takes months to reverse engineer and patch

[@tooththrhr]

Why is the car rhd when youre on germany

[@AntiGooseAction]

I can't seem to find any purchase options on MB-Links page. They just want to sell subscriptions to something

[@AstronBnX]

You can order from me

[@user-vg3jy1og2y]

How did you manage to enable showing ATF in your AMG menu on 4:36?

[@RANDASH]

custom patched IC211 software ;). More on this later

[@garethparkman3677]

What year is your w211? I would love to fit this wheel to my e320 2005

[@RANDASH]

2003

[@AlexHernandez-xh8ei]

Be careful with that steering wheel they wear out very fast. Mb tech here

[@RANDASH]

With regular cleaning it should be ok...I clean the car every week, with nothing too abrasive or powerful

[@AlexHernandez-xh8ei]

@@RANDASH yes a lot of people use aggressive cleaners and strips the waxes off of it

[@McCain997]

Sorry buddy but you installed the wheel on the wrong side 😊

[@gameisgame3000]

Surprisingly the wheel actually looks alright but GAWD that head unit gotta go (no offense, it looks out of place af)

[@RANDASH]

The head unit is my own design running off a PC. Im using it to experiment with the car, look at some of the other videos

[@Superchargedtio]

This is an old school car …. a new steering wheel doesn’t fit my opinion.. I have an e55 wouldn’t do this personally looks like a try hard car

[@MoesKeckeEcke]

if that is legal in germany i would say "eat my shorts.." you did cut on the carrying axle of the steering wheel.. completely dangerous if it breaks during a crash? The testing and certifications for an airbag wheel is surely more complex than, hey it fits on the mechanic axle 😞

[@RANDASH]

this is true, but I'm not in Germany :)

[@zayedalhajeri2136]

Hi brother, is there Email or whatsapp??, i have question regarding "ME2.0" & "EGS51", Thanks

[@paulaur]

no clue why to make this crap. Do you wear 70's crocodile leather shoes and a modern baseball cap? If yes, then answer is clear. I think it is absolute nonsense.

[@bggoliath5110]

Why did you watch it then
