Alcantara steering wheel

I tried searching somewhat but haven't found a definite answer...Is there any way to install an alcantara steering wheel in an X3M LCI with drivers pro? Is it worth it at all?

Sold my F80 to a buddy that added one and it got me thinking...

Thanks!

You need an emulator to trick the hand detection sensor.

I have a G01 M Performance wheel and I purchased an emulator from eBay that allows me to use Driver Assistance Plus.

Not sure your plans but i have a steering wheel for sale. Not interested in installing an emulator on top of losing heated steering.

link to said emulator?

the heated steering wheel isn't a big deal for me but I NEED drivers assistance pro. if I can get that to work id highly consider upgrading the steering wheel.

Contact the seller and tell them your year make and model and that you have driver assistance professional. Don't just buy it and hope it works. I have driver assistance plus and the first module I bought that they suggest didn't end up working (not because it was defective, just didn't know for sure which module we needed). Sent me a second one and it works perfectly.
