looks like they have it in non multifunction form, espresso with paddle shifters in 991.2 style. I would give suncoast a call and see if they are able to special order a multi function version in espresso. They actually had to special order my carbon fiber wheel from germany- they were out of stock and made it to order. Only took a month. They may just not show all the options on their website

found it. Look under Macan or Panamera steering wheel options. They will work with 991s using correct gps adapter-x. Here’s one with carbon fiber and espresso option

heres someone who retrofitted theirs in espresso. Looks awesome

Smart move! I’m glad it all worked out perfectly

Sorry to bump this older topic but I have a question that relates to this, I tried to ask the GPS guys but I think something was lost in translation.

I have a 991.1 with a MF steering wheel with PDK buttons.

I want to upgrade to a Macan PDK paddle, MF wheel with no mode selector button (I would rather still use my stock sport/sport plus buttons)

Is it possible to use the new style wheel with paddles, MF and no heat and use the GPS STVM-1 adapter and use the stock sport button? Or do I have to use the mode selector type wheel and the X-adapter?

Im pretty sure that what you are wanting to do is specifically what the stvm-1 adaptor is for. Allows you to upgrade to a 991.2 wheel that doesn’t have the mode selector dial. You just use your center console drive select buttons.

Its funny, I did the 991.2 upgrade with the dial using ththe x adaptor , and I almost never use the dial. All ways use the console buttons. Just habit i guess.

That's what I was wondering too but then thought maybe that adapter is for just for non sports chrono cars? Not sure why the sports button wouldn't work anymore, I guess it wouldn't show in the steering wheel but who cares?

nope your existing console buttons will continue to work.

the x adaptor essentially adds a Bluetooth module that allows the sport plus dial on the 991.2 style steering wheel to communicate to the ecu/console buttons.

the other adaptor allows you to just use your existing console buttons, but enables your 991.1 car to communicate properly with a 991.2 style steering wheel conversion and allow all the multifunction buttons on the wheel to work (volume, telephone, heating etc)

Thank you!

Should have everything I need for doing this swap this weekend!

MF, heated wheel from a Macan
Airbag from a macan
Heated clockspring (my MF wheel wasn’t heated)
Adapter from GPS

My original setup is the 991.1 MF wheel

Anybody know if I will have to get the wheel programmed at the dealer? All MF should work with the adapter but will the programmable button work? Will the neutral function work? How about heated wheel?

Or will I need to go to the dealer to get those functions to work?

Getting the heat function will require programming at the dealer or anyone else with access to a PIWIS. The paddles should work by default, so neutral function should work, mine did without the GPS adapter. Pretty sure the steering wheel buttons will work too once you have the adapter installed. It's just activating the heated function that definitely requires programming.

Appreciate it. WIll pull the wheel tomorrow morning but tonight I installed the adapter so that it's all ready to put together easily tomorrow.

How did you make out with this swap? I never could get a firm yes/no on any questions I had in the other thread on this. I have a 991.1 non-MF wheel with buttons, and I JUST want a 991.2 Sport or Macan wheel with paddles to work... no wheel button. I also have Sport Chrono.
What wheel and airbag did you get, and where did you buy it from?

Visual

If you mean whether or not you need an adapter, then no, you don't. The adapter is only for if you want the multi-function buttons or heating to work. It's a direct plug and play with no errors in the instrument cluster despite certain vendors saying you'll get an airbag light. I bought both the steering wheel and airbag used from Ebay, I didn't order through a Porsche parts dealer. The wheel has the mode dial and buttons, but I didn't buy an adapter because I have a multi-function stalk since I had the base non-MF wheel, and it's working fine after installation, paddles function as intended without needing the adapter.

You can use both the buttons on the center panel and the steering wheel if you get the adapter.
