Mercedes-Benz Class SLC R172 Multifunction steering wheel buttons replacement (2016 - 2020)
Mercedes-Benz Class SLC R172 Multifunction steering wheel buttons replacement (2016 - 2020) - Matte Black is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Recover full steering wheel control on your Mercedes-Benz SLC R172 with this direct-fit multifunction button replacement set.
Matched to the original factory specifications of the R172 platform — covering both the SLK R172 (2011–2016) and the renamed SLC R172 (2016–2020) — these buttons restore the precise tactile response and clean factory finish your roadster's steering wheel was built with. On a car where keeping your hands on the wheel matters, having every control register first time, every time, is not optional.
Whether years of open-top use have faded the legends or the buttons have simply lost their click, this set returns your interior to the sharp, driver-focused standard the R172 was designed to deliver — without dealership labour costs.
Complete Set of Multifunction Buttons
This replacement kit includes a full set of 12 multifunction buttons, covering all standard steering wheel controls:
- Directional arrows (Up, Down, Left, Right) and OK button
- Return / Back button
- Volume + and Volume –
- Mute function
- Call pick-up and hang-up buttons
- Voice control button
All buttons are clearly marked, properly spaced, and designed to provide accurate and responsive input.
DIY-Tutorial
What you'll need: T20 Torx screwdriver, thin Torx-style tool (for the airbag springs), small tray or cup for screws.
1. Safety first: Disconnect your battery before touching anything on the steering wheel. Wait at least 1 minute after disconnecting to let the airbag system fully discharge.
2. Find the airbag access holes
On the back of the steering wheel, look for the access holes at roughly the 4:40 position (these are not the holes sitting directly behind the buttons, we will get to them later). Insert your thin tool and angle it until you feel the spring.
Once you feel the spring, push it in. The airbag releases on that side. Do the same on the other side and the airbag pops right out.
3. Unplug and set the airbag aside
Pull the connector clip to unplug the airbag from its harness. Set it face-up on a flat, stable surface. Never lay an airbag face-down or leave it somewhere it could fall.
4. Remove the surround trim panel
Use your T20 to remove the 2 screws on the surround trim panel surrounding the airbag cover (one left and one right).
There's also 2 screws on the back of the wheel — get these ones out too before pulling the trim off.
5. Unscrew the switch panel
Remove the 3 T20 screws that hold the switch panel in place.
6. Take apart the button panel
Pull the panel out and flip it over. You'll see a side clip. Remove it using a flat screwdriver.
Then, using a flat screwdriver again, unclip the buttons from the front.
The central and top buttons hold on to one more clip that you will have to undo.
7. Reassemble in reverse order
Put the new buttons onto the switch panel by simply pressing them in with your fingers.
Reassemble the buttons switch panel back on its module. You should hear a "click". Then tighten the 3 screws holding it in place on the steering wheel.
Then the surround trim (2 front screws and 2 back screw):
Plug the airbag back in, align it with the pointy end facing up, and press it in until it clicks.
8. Reconnect your battery
Plug the battery back in. Turn the wheel all the way left then all the way right to reset the system, then test your steering wheel buttons to confirm everything works.
OEM-Style Fit and Finish
Designed specifically for the R172 steering wheel — shared across both the SLK and SLC generations — each button slots into the original panel housing without any modification. The colour, legend printing, surface texture, and click travel replicate the factory parts exactly, so the steering wheel looks and feels showroom-correct once reassembled.
Durable Construction
Moulded from high-quality ABS plastic with UV-stable surface treatment, these buttons hold up to the conditions unique to open-top motoring: direct sun exposure with the roof stowed, temperature swings between hood-down summer drives and closed-roof commuting, and the thumb friction that comes from a car driven for the pleasure of it. The finish stays consistent, and the tactile response stays sharp.
Vehicle Compatibility
Compatible with Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 models from 2011 to 2016 and Mercedes-Benz SLC R172 models from 2016 to 2020, including SLK/SLC 180, 200, 250, 300, 350, 55 AMG and 43 AMG variants, equipped with a multifunction steering wheel.
Please ensure your steering wheel button layout matches this product before ordering.
