The component is dedicated to models from the W169 and W245 families, which allows for maintaining factory operating characteristics and proper fitment to the interior design.

Benefits of using an original component

Using an original combination switch with a slip ring in a Mercedes car allows you to maintain the consistency of the electrical installation and proper communication between the steering wheel controls and other vehicle systems. The appropriate geometry and mounting points facilitate installation and reduce the risk of mechanical stress within the steering column.

The main advantages include:

• factory fitment to the steering column structure,
• maintaining proper operation of control systems within the cockpit,
• consistency with the vehicle's electrical installation.

Performance characteristics and installation

The offered component comes from the Switches, control elements and ignition locks group, making it designed for operation in the demanding environment of the vehicle interior, where resistance to frequent switching cycles and the rotational movement of the steering column is essential. The design of the combination switch with a slip ring is prepared for installation in place of the factory component, which promotes the maintenance of operating ergonomics and the original control layout.

The product is offered as a used original component, which is a beneficial solution for users looking for parts with factory fitment while optimizing repair costs.

Why choose a used original Mercedes component

In the case of premium class vehicles such as Mercedes, using used but original components allows you to maintain high-quality operation of control systems without having to resort to unreliable replacements. A properly selected combination switch with a slip ring reduces the risk of electrical communication problems and improper operation of functions handled from the steering wheel level.
