Carismo or similar Steering Wheel sellers?

Thoughts on it as I am tempted to get one, non-LED version. I have the heated and Driver's Assist/ACC too which I know they can do.

I am sorta confused on why it needs a DA Module if it's all just transferring parts from OEM to aftermarket wheel

The DA module basically acts like the pressure sensors for your hands that are built in to the OEM wheel. I ended up buying a Carismo wheel awhile back but unfortunately it didn't work out for me. My entire KFAS system would just go off line with the wheel installed. BMW had my car for a week and it was determined that because I didn't have the heating element in the wheel the entire KFAS system quit working so I had an OEM wheel installed and the problem went away. I talked with Carismo and the tech told me that has never happened before so I'm not sure why my car was the one off, long story short I now have a $1600 paper weight sitting in my house. My only word of advice would be, if you get a CF wheel make sure it has the same options as your OEM (heated or non-heated).

that's what they told me, i got it last week also with CF /leather trim - i will say they're great with CS and quick on email and chat. i got the heat since mine is heated too with the DA module, hopefully to get it installed next week if i have time.

I am having a hard time routing all the wires back to their original place because I didn’t take pics beforehand, any ideas or suggestions?
