8.5 Steering Wheel on an 8?
« on: 31 January 2026, 19:27 »
Hey, has anyone tried to fit an 8.5 SW to an 8 to delete the horrible haptics? Bolt on, bolt on and code or does it not work at all?

Thanks

Not me. I actually have no issues with the haptics and prefer them.

Why do you dislike them so much to the point where you want to change?

I find I use the bottoms a lot and know my way round the non haptic version without looking, the haptics are just a bit of a faff and not as accurate when using without looking

Fair enough and I understand what you mean about pressing intuitively. I guess I don't use them that much to be concerned by this.

You don’t need to swap the entire wheel. The buttons are a straight swap. No coding required.
