DIY Guide: Installing the AMG Drive Unit/Button Retrofit

 

Introduction

For AMG enthusiasts looking to enhance their driving experience, the AMG Drive Unit/Button Retrofit kit from Own Silent International Limited offers an exciting opportunity. This retrofit is designed for all 2018+ AMG models, and it's unique because it includes options for vehicles with heated steering wheels – a feature not available directly from the factory.

What You Need to Know Before You Start

Compatibility: This retrofit kit is guaranteed to fit any 2018+ AMG model that comes with an AMG steering wheel. To ensure compatibility, you can submit your vehicle's VIN number to us for personalized assistance.

Tools and Components: The kit includes the AMG Drive Unit, Upper and Lower Steering Bezels, Steering Control Units (x2), a Remote OBD Device, Coding Instructions for remote installation, and a comprehensive Fitting Guide.

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Preparation:

    Begin by ensuring your vehicle is safely parked and turned off. Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during the installation process.

  2. Removing the Existing Steering Wheel Components:

    Carefully remove the existing steering wheel components. This might include bezels, control units, or covers that will be replaced with the new kit. Refer to the fitting guide for detailed instructions tailored to your specific AMG model.

  3. Installing the New AMG Drive Unit and Bezels:

    Start by installing the Upper Steering Bezel followed by the Steering Control Units on both sides. These components should click into place but refer to the fitting guide to ensure proper alignment and secure fit. Attach the Lower Steering Bezel, making sure it aligns correctly with the upper components and steering wheel structure.

  4. Connecting the AMG Drive Unit:

    Once all physical components are in place, it’s time to connect the AMG Drive Unit. This step involves careful handling of the wiring and connectors. Follow the wiring diagram provided in the fitting guide to avoid any mistakes.

  5. Remote OBD Device and Coding:

    With the physical installation complete, the next step is to use the Remote OBD Device for coding. Connect the device to your vehicle’s OBD-II port. Follow the coding instructions meticulously to program the AMG Drive Unit with your vehicle's systems. This step is crucial for ensuring that the newly installed buttons and features work seamlessly with your car's existing electronics.

  6. Testing and Troubleshooting:

    After coding, it’s essential to test all functions of the AMG Drive Unit to ensure they are working correctly. This includes any driving modes, settings adjustments, and heated steering features (if applicable). If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section of the fitting guide. For additional support, contact Own Silent International Limited at sales@ownsilent.international or via WhatsApp at +14244540430.

  7. Final Checks:

    Reconnect the battery and perform a final check to ensure all electronic systems are functioning correctly. Take your car for a test drive to experience the full capabilities of your new AMG Drive Unit.
