Alcantara M6 Steering Wheel
Hi.
Has anyone converted their steering wheel in their M6 (2013 or 2014) to the Alcantara wheel in carbon, either with shift lights or blue stripe? Seems cool (have it on my GT3) but parts dept is telling me I need a new airbag, paddles, multifunction buttons, etc...this doesn't sound right, but could be, I guess. Let me know if anyone has any experience with this. My car is a 4-2013 production, 2014 model year. Attached are some pictures of the models I am interested in. I am located in California, if that makes a difference (US car). thanks in advance for any assistance on this, Jeff |

Karim - Are you saying the LEDs/Screen steering wheel is not worth getting?
I've been looking at the two wheels for a while and my gut tells me to go with the blue stripe one. I am not too sure how I would like the plastic piece in the steering wheel and now with you saying it's not worth it that kinda pushes me further on my gut feeling. Can you elaborate a bit on why you say it's not worth it? Brian

You get just the steering wheel and the carbon fiber trim piece. I'm actually in a process of selling my car by the way

Just got mine today with the screen. Have any of you guys installed this yourself? Does the wheel need to be programmed?
Install guide maybe? Thanks for any heads up. |

Looks great - did you re-use all parts? My dealer seems a bit shaky on the details...mine is a 4-2013 build (2014) and they say I may need new paddles, buttons and airbag? Seems nuts to me...let me know if you had to replace any of those? Thx

I used all the stock parts. No need to change anything like the digital display wheel requires.

I have the same wheel with the blue strip it was 100.00 to have put in 1hr job being very careful. He did check my computer and there is a code that comes up that the steering wheel heater is not working but no light on dash.
