I liked the steering wheel in the C300 I drove. I liked the fact that it was not round and instead of completing the circle at the bottom it went straight across.

I modded my 300D to have heated air at the center vents. I did this with a vacuum line bypass. Now my right side does not get cold! I just close the vents off when I dont want it.

Manual ACC blower speed control should be attainable, you just need to put a 7VDC regulator and potentiometer. Feed the output from the pot to the blower motor regulator. Biggest problem is where to mount the knob.

I hate working on them too. My 190E doesn't have any. I got pissed off at them because somehow they broke and bits ended up grinding inside the drum so I just gutted them. 300SD doesn't have one on the passenger side. Had to replace the control arm never hooked up the cable.
