Default Re: Installing mercedes heated steering wheel

Its using the r171's clock spring and stalk modded to it since thats where the steering wheel heat switch is at. The r170's didnt have a heated steering wheel at all.

I'm going to tackle this when spring rolls around. Swapping the wheel is actually simple I believe since its confirmed to bolt on and all. But I want to do it tastefully so I want a wheel that looks nice and I want it all "undo-able" in case I want to put it back factory.

I love modding stuff but only if it looks like it came factory when I'm done.

Believe it or not my current must do is a drink holder of all things. It took 45 minutes to find the parts list I needed to attempt the steering wheel.

Ive been at it for 2 weeks searching for an acceptable drink holder solution and still nothing I like. I cant believe they didn't just add normal drink holders as large as that console is. My stepdad added the ones on the wall between the seats like several people have done and it works. The problem is Im short with a damaged left shoulder rotator cuff and I cant reach the drink holder he added while driving

I want something that I can attach to the right of the console similar to the ones that have the tab that goes between the seat and the console I have seen for sale. But I want it mounted to something and not just relying on being pinched like that. I found one for a porsche that is close to what I want mounting wise since no hole drilling is required but still looking.
