My 958 Cayenne came with normal steering wheel, but I have planned to change to multi-function steering wheel.




I got one from my friend.
It is a used MF steering wheel which comes with a set of slip-ring and whole control column.




Today, I have installed the new MF steering wheel. All the connector work perfectly, but it turns out that I cannot use the whole MF button on the steering wheel (The backlight is on and paddle shift works fine.)
I guess that I might need to get an activation code of MF button or something.

Does anyone have this kind of experience?

Please help me.

Thanks a lot

Yeah you'll have to get the vehicle coded to use the new wheel.

skiahh

Are all the vehicles pre-wired to use the MF steering wheel or do you need a new wiring harness, too?

My understanding is that the heater is the only function not pre-wired if not installed from the factory. The MF controls are just CAN messages and the CAN bus already goes up to the column switches so my understanding is that the correct clock/slip ring connects up and feeds it to the wheel.

Hi there

I was wondering did you manage to get the steering wheel controls to work?, and if so what did you have to do to get them to work ?

iv also bought a Cayenne which didn't come with the controls and wanting to upgrade the steering wheel too I would appreciate it if you could share your experience and knowledge about it

thanks
Bill

Perhaps the multi-function wheel you received from your friend is left-hand drive?

Just kidding, glass of wine made me do it. best of luck with the install!
