PDK Sport Design Wheel Qs' (AKA Paddle)?
A few questions for you folks with A 991.1 generation PDK equipped car with the 991.1 generation Paddle steering wheel(ie. no rotary ****) and NO Sport plus/sport chrono:
When you press the sport button on your console button array, or any button for that matter, does the steering wheel enunciate (illuminate) the selection also? Does anything illuminate in your Sport Design PDK wheel? Is/was your example factory installed or added later? Does your instrument panel indicate sport mode/sport chassis?
My car is a 14 C4S PDK and is equipped with the shift buttons on the wheel (however non-multifunction) and with 4 stalks/levers on the steering column. When I press Sport it illuminates this in the instrument panel, when I press the Shock absorber icon it illuminates Sport Chassis. Lastly, if I purchase a PDK Sport Design Wheel (991.1 style with no Sport Chrono array on top) will it too (the wheel)enunciate the mode?

I have a sport design wheel in my 2014 and yes, when you select Sport mode, the word "Sport" illuminates on the steering wheel.

My car is a 991.1 PDK non-Sport Chrono car with a factory Sport Design steering wheel. It does not illuminate any mode information on the steering wheel. I can't recall from memory if the instrument panel indicates "Sport" when in Sport mode. I'll check later today.

If you don’t mind I have a question. I just purchased a preowned c2s and noticed that my Sport Chrono gauge doesn’t seem to be illuminated at night or is very dim. It’s supposed to illuminate right? Maybe it was dimmed by the previous owner if that’s even possible? It’s a CPO car so I’ll ask the dealer to fix but wanted to hear what you all had to say. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe the PDK Sport Design Wheel without the Sport Chrono option provides no indication in the wheel of mode. It is only displayed in the instrument panel. If on the other hand you have sport chrono the wheel will illuminate an appropriate icon when Sport + and/or launch control mode is selected/activated. Hopefully someone can confirm this though?
