I have been trying to get a carbon LED steering wheel for a little while now. Who was your supplier and how much did you pay? Trying to work with some through Alibaba. If you have a recommendation I'd love to hear it!
Beautiful wheel btw! Looking like a matte carbon fiber. I wanted a gloss forged wheel myself. How does it feel when driving? |

Wow! One would hope that BMW sees this and markets an OEM version.

What did you have to do for the LED top part of the wheel to work?

So, the wheel is more or less parts from an OEM LED wheel. The connector plugs into the clock spring/SZL, and then plugs into a control module (about half the size of a phone). From there, a connector plugs into the FRM/FEM (depending on model), and intercepts signal from the PT-Can. Essentially, you can use this steering wheel on any vehicle that has a powertrain CAN line. I'm not sure how well it's going to function with a hybrid vehicle, but it will work in some way or another.
