Default Re: steering wheel removable

there is a steering wheel angle sensor that is used for both braking assist (BAS) and traction control (ESP). remove the steering wheel and these features are useless. i cant remember if it affects ABS or not.

the steering wheel hub needed to convert to a MOMO is super hard to find. there is a generic Mercedes adapter (6004, IIRC) but it needs to be drilled out to fit correctly.

just FYI --
Do you know if SLK32 steering wheel will fit?
