Default Very cool

Hey, I just had my meaty, lovely Techart steering wheel installed, and guess what? I didn't lose my control ***** from the skinny hateful multi-function wheel.

I intentionally did not learn the functions because I didnt want to lose them, but now I can have my cake and eat it too. What fun!!!

pics to follow...

are we supposed to use all four screws on both gas and dead pedal? I only used two, I don't think it would go anywhere.

BTW, Very Nice Steering Wheel!

dealer put them on. i guess that's what a pro mechanic does. i'm sure if i'd have done it i would have stopped when i felt it was stable

and thanks, yeah, the wheel feels very good in my hands. i think a good steering wheel is important sice it is the one part of the car you most frequently touch.

Default very nice wheel....

I wonder if the car wasnt ordered with steering wheel controls, would adding a MFSW in itself be enough to activate the feature, or would you need some receiving module to make it all work, thus making it all to cost prohibitive.

I think I need that wheel. Put an MP Designs wheel on my E55 and was one of the best mods I ever did.

Wow. I have the MFSW and it is one of the things I could not relate to my car. It is very skinny so I do not feel comfortable with it. I think I should definitely get this. The only question is would this wheel kinda look funny in sand beige because it is beefy and etc.

Default I ask again, would you have had to have ordered MFSW in the first place?

Or is the wheel the only other part you need to make it all work?
