I put out a request on MBWorld for someone with any 2008-16 model MB with steering wheel controls in my area, so that I could hook up my equipment and snoop on the bus. One of the things I said I'd do is to publish all of the information for the community as a whole. If you are in the FL panhandle or surrounding areas, and you'd like to help, I would love to talk to you.
As for a kit, I'm not sure I'd want to do that, as support gets to be more than I can deal with. There is a member here that offers a turnkey kit to add paddle shifters to the existing CF steering wheel. It's a great option, and one I was considering myself, before wanting all the buttons. I have also considered simply re-wiring the W205 wheel, and adding my own communications stuff to it, but I really don't like that idea.
I’m always down to talk shop on the Crossfire. Especially now that you’ve done what I’ve came close to pulling the trigger on myself but I’ve gone back and forth from the M113k to the M112 3.7L with the 55 internals and bigger supercharger on it. 550whp one guy was claiming on that setup.
Here’s the 3.2 to 3.7 build I’m speaking of!!!!
