Just to confirm guys, I have a 991.2 Turbo S with a NON MF wheel. I found a 991.2 wheel off a GTS. If I swap the steering wheels, everything should work MINUS heated steering wheel? Making it truly a plug n play with no trip to the dealership needed?

That is what I did and it was plug and play except for the heating.

Does anyone know if you can remove the Sport chrono lever and install the blank? Or do you have to replace that entire stalk assembly? Thanks guys

Are you referring the piece that holds the round mode selector? If so, no - there are 2 different wheels. You can make a blank out of something though and with a 3D printer, black paint and a little glue or 3M tape you one would ever know!

no. Referring to the bottom right lever that is on sport design wheel with sport chrono. It controls the instrument cluster stuff, but with the new wheel the MF controls will do that. I’d like to remove that lever, the way it is on 991.2 cars.

Does your diamond shortcut button work? My alcantara GT Sport steering wheel is on the way and i'm curious if I should do the DIY or let the dealer handle it. I love that shortcut button on my other car. I have a similar stock setup as you, MF stalk on the car.

It only functions as a “home” button; clicking it returns the display to the default boost etc gauge display. I believe you’d need to have the dealer do it to gain full functionality; not sure if you’d also need the new clock spring.

I agree

I have reused the bolts in the past and never had problems.

OP here. As has been covered, the new wheel comes with a new bolt, so I used it. I have plenty of blue Loctite around, but when a manufacturer sends me a bolt with a new part, I generally use the new bolt. Feel free to do as you see fit though.

Still love my "new" wheel 2.5 years later!

Default Just did my 718 and Plug and Play!

Just used this method to swap wheels with heater and sf and went flawless (leather to carbon fiber). Thank you to the author, and all of the comments after to clear up anything.

So the wheel I took off is identical to the wheel the author put on, except mine is leather. Where do I post the wheel taken off for sale to get the right audience? It is basically new, since the car only has 1700 miles on it. Any ideas so I don't waste my time? And what is it worth?

This is my new carbon fiber install

You can post it on 6speedonline but you still have to join, but no cost to do so.
