Jaronx Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 & GLC X253 Steering Wheel Button Kit — 12‑Piece Laser‑Etched ABS Replacement

Jaronx steering wheel button replacements restore the original look and reliable function for Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 and GLC X253 models with a durable, laser-etched 12-piece button kit.

If the original soft-touch covers on your Mercedes steering wheel are peeling, sticky, or worn, this Jaronx kit offers a precise, long-lasting replacement designed to match factory geometry while improving resistance to scratches and wear. These parts are purpose-molded ABS, not thin stickers, and are made to accept the steering wheel’s illumination through laser-etched symbols. Read on for quick answers to common buyer questions and clear specifics about fit, installation, and materials.

Which Mercedes models and part numbers do these buttons fit?

These steering wheel buttons suit specific C-Class and GLC wheel assemblies; verify your OE number before ordering. They are not universal and will not fit many other Mercedes ranges that use different backing buckles or button constructions.

• Compatible models: C-Class (W205) 2016–2018, C-Class Touring (S205) 2016–2018, C-Class Coupe (C205) 2016–2018, GLC (C253) 2016–2019, GLC (X253) 2017–2019.
• OE numbers matched: A 099 905 02 00 and A 099 905 03 00—confirm these match your original parts.
• Not compatible: ML (W166), GL (W166), G-Class (W463) and other series such as A, B, CLA, CLS, GLA, SL, SLC, GLS, GLE due to different backing buckles.

How is the Jaronx kit different from the original factory buttons?

Rather than using the soft-touch coating that often flakes on OEM pieces, Jaronx uses a tougher ABS substrate with a protective surface finish. Symbols are laser-etched so illumination passes cleanly and markings stay readable over time.

• Premium ABS construction resists nail and key scratches better than the original soft-touch layer.
• Laser-etched legends allow light to shine through and remain crisp after extended use.
• Solid replacement parts—these are full buttons, not thin overlays or decorative stickers that can shift or trap when pressed.

What does installation involve and what’s included in the package?

Installation requires removal of the steering wheel to access the button housings; this is recommended for a secure and correct fit. The kit contains all pieces needed to restore the menu and control buttons on compatible wheels.

• Kit contents: 12-piece steering wheel menu button repair kit in black.
• Installation note: steering wheel disassembly is necessary for proper fitment—professional installation recommended if you are not comfortable with vehicle interior disassembly.
• Design match: molded to original part dimensions for an accurate fit and tactile response.

Will these buttons affect the vehicle’s electronics or illumination?

The Jaronx buttons are designed as direct mechanical replacements; they do not change electrical function. Laser etching preserves the steering wheel backlight so symbols remain visible with existing illumination.

• No alteration to wiring is required—these replace the mechanical button housings only.
• Laser-etched markings let factory lighting illuminate icons cleanly.
• Buttons are built to deform and depress like originals to maintain control feel.

Who this is for: This kit is aimed at Mercedes owners with W205 or X253 steering wheels whose control buttons show peeling, discoloration, or tactile degradation and who want a durable OEM-style replacement. It suits DIYers comfortable with removing the steering wheel or vehicle owners seeking a shop-quality repair part that restores appearance and function without aftermarket stickers or fragile overlays.
