Designo Wood Options
The G-Class offered several distinct wood finishes to match the interior trim packages:
-
Burred Walnut (Brown): The most classic look, featuring a rich, swirling grain.
-
Anthracite Poplar: A modern, dark grey/black wood often found in late 2000s AMG models.
-
Piano Lacquer Black: A deep, mirror-finish black that matches the G55 AMG “Mastermind” editions.
Key Features
-
Ergonomic Finger Grips: The rear of the wooden sections features carved indentations for a secure grip during off-road or high-speed driving.
-
Multifunction Controls: Includes the original 8-button layout (4 on each side) to control the instrument cluster menu, volume, and telephone.
-
Authentic Feel: Unlike aftermarket “dips,” this uses real wood veneers applied over a magnesium core, ensuring it doesn’t crack or splinter under extreme temperature changes.
Compatibility & Fitment
This steering wheel is designed for the W463 interior characterized by the vertical center console.
-
Direct Fit: G320, G400 CDI, G500, G55 AMG (approx. 2002–2010).
-
Airbag Requirement: This wheel uses the “Triangle” or “Shield” shaped airbag unit. If you are upgrading from a standard all-leather wheel of the same era, your current airbag should be a direct transfer.
-
Later Models (2011+): This wheel will not fit the 2012–2018 facelift G-Class (which uses the W204/W212 style wheel) or the current W463A (2019+) generation.
Why Choose Genuine A4634600503?
In a G-Wagon, the steering wheel is a high-wear item. Aftermarket wood wheels often suffer from “clear-coat clouding” or peeling leather. Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts use UV-resistant lacquers that maintain their clarity even after years of exposure to direct sunlight—crucial for a vehicle with upright windows like the G-Class.
