Ok that part number does not fit the BASE model 2010 EX35, however it does fit the JOURNEY package EX35 so that should help a little (it's part of the TECH package which included the bluetooth hands free system). Not ALL websites show that intercompatibility though, not sure what's the deal with that.

However I'm not having any luck finding a decent price on that, $135 is about the best I can find for that part number.

I've used infinitipartsonline.com quite a few times now, it's a website marketplace for an actual Infiniti dealership in Arizona.

Just out of curiousity what's the problem with your existing one? If it's just scratched up then it can be refinished or vinyl wrapped and would be significantly cheaper than buying a new one. If it's completely MISSING then you could purchase a used steering wheel through eBay and if it's scratched up then just go the refinish route.

There's a few steering wheels for under $75 on eBay but that trim is either the wrong color or pretty thrashed. They would look fine wrapped or repainted though. You might drive around to some reputable body shops and/or stereo shops and see what they can do to install/refinish your existing one. Those guys regularly disassemble the steering wheel (especially stereo shops) and will have significantly lower hourly rates than the dealership.

Thanks for the info. I’d read a thread about vinyl wrapping it but doubted I’d find a tan color to match. Mine is scratched up and it’s driving me crazy...that’s the only reason I want it fixed.

Instead of doing that, the thing that worked for me was a Bolt/Nut Remover Tool, specifically one that is sized for 3/8".

In Canada you can pick these up at Canadian tire, and all you have to do is hook it up to a ratchet or an impact gun and it will allow you to bite down on the bolt and remove it. Once they are out grab some M6 Hex Bolts of the right size and replace both of them to save you some headache in the future.

Best of Luck!

Thanks this is exactly what I needed! I stripped both mine, even when I used the right security torx bit (cheap metal I guess), and was going to just try and jam the next size bit up in there and crank on it.

Hey guys, I was able to do this Plasti dip fix right in the car without tearing down anything. it restored it better than factory. the plasi dip will not cut away like the factory crap. total fix cost 5-6 bucks plus some tape off material. just make sure you do at least 5 coats for quality and removal of overspray.
