Changing steering wheel F15 DA+?

Hello!

So i cant stand the steering wheel. The leather is so bad. I will switch to a new one.

Any way, i got Driving assistance +,, (adaptive cruise control, lane assist etc).

Main question: Today my wheel vibrates etc. Do i have to look for any
specific wheel or i can go with standard?

Thanks in advance boys n girls!

If you are swapping to the exact same wheel as yours just brand new one, only 3 things to worry about heated/non-heated,vibro/non-vibro, paddle shifters/no paddle shifters.. You can re-use your buttons,trim and air bag.

If you do not have TJA (apparently not available in US) and wheel heating than basically you could buy any steering wheel and just mount vibration motor and cabling from your wheel.

Thank you boys!! I ended up buying alcantara/leather cover for 70 dollars.
The sad thing is that it was not made for f15 but seller told med it can be stretched, Let me come back n tell you about it when my wife finish stitching it.
