The AMG Performance Steering Wheel does not natively display AMG telemetry data, but it can be part of a broader system that supports performance monitoring and data display, particularly in higher-end AMG models. Here's how the steering wheel might interact with AMG telemetry and what options are available:

1. Integration with AMG Track Pace

  • AMG Track Pace is a performance data recording system available in some AMG models, including the G-Class. While the steering wheel itself doesn't directly display telemetry data, it can be programmed to interface with the vehicle’s infotainment system, where telemetry data can be displayed.
  • AMG Track Pace can record various metrics such as lap times, g-forces, and vehicle speed. Through the COMAND system or the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) display, drivers can access detailed telemetry data during track days. The steering wheel’s buttons can potentially be configured to toggle through different data views, such as lap times, g-forces, and speed, on the infotainment screen.

2. Heads-Up Display (HUD) Integration

  • In some modern Mercedes-Benz models, telemetry data can be displayed via the heads-up display (HUD), if available. The steering wheel might not show this data directly, but it can interact with the HUD to display essential metrics like g-forces, speed, and lap times.
  • While the steering wheel itself doesn't have built-in screens, its buttons can potentially be programmed to toggle between different telemetry data views on the HUD or central display.

3. Customization and Programming

  • Depending on the vehicle and its infotainment system, the steering wheel controls could be customized to allow quick access to telemetry data. The steering wheel buttons may provide functions like toggling through different telemetry pages or controlling the AMG Performance modes.
  • AMG-specific telemetry like acceleration times, torque, and engine power could be displayed on the car’s infotainment screen or instrument cluster, but this depends on the integration with the vehicle's software system.

4. Steering Wheel Display (Future Consideration)

  • While not a feature today, it's possible that future versions of the AMG Performance Steering Wheel could incorporate OLED or digital screens into the wheel itself, enabling the direct display of telemetry data. This concept has been explored in other high-performance vehicles and could potentially be implemented in future AMG steering wheels.

In summary, while the AMG Performance Steering Wheel does not natively display telemetry data, it can be programmed to interact with the car’s infotainment system, HUD, or other displays to provide access to important performance metrics, especially in high-performance models with AMG Track Pace or similar systems. Future models might offer direct display functionality within the steering wheel itself.
