Anyone considered changing the S8 steering wheel for one with radio controls?
 

Anyone ever thought about changing out the steering wheel to one with radio controls? part of me thinks its sacrilege to swap out a geniune s8 wheel but...

mine is cream colour so its probably almost impossible to find a replacement wheel with radio controls on, but those with black colour interiors be quite easy, the downside i suppose is a non S8 steering wheel? no steering wheel badge, but be very handy to have volume controls and switch track on the wheel, etc

Also just to throw this out there i prefer the look of the prefacelift steering wheel over the facelift wheel somehow it looks more sporty to me anyone else feel this?

I have retrofitted multifunction heated steering wheel to 2002 FL which originally came with sports steering wheel with gearbox control.

One of the best mods you can do.

Very impressive +++ the black wheel looks great with the cream interior, i have the same interior colour trim and looks like a good match there

I see you have also gone for black air vents which also helps

So do all the features of the wheel work? very good thanks for posting the photos +++

Everything works including RNS-E voice control
