Ist it possible to change the silver inserts into black ones?

I would also accept to not have the multifunctions buttons on the steering wheel because for the looks i like it clean like the gt3 and because the car is no daily driver i dont need them....is there any error massage if i simply deplug them?

sorry for the picture, i used it for a german partdealer, (schwarz = black)

Great idea. I'm not sure who in Porsche thought that tacky silver plastic inserts, that screams cheap hatchback from the early 2000s, was a good idea here. Will be interested to see if anyone has any solutions....

Yes, can be done by using multifunction controls from a macan. You should be able to delete them entirely but try unplugging them first to see if any errors pop up. You won’t be able to scroll through the Menus though as you don’t have a stalk on the wheel to do so like the non-mf cars.

Mine-went from non mf to mf using black inserts.

I didn’t realize the Macan had black inserts! Suncoast has them, not sure what the actual part number is https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU998BLK.html

Very easy to do:

and thanks to this guy 👆 I did the exact same thing!

how difficult is it to install and have the controls working?

I am actually just tempted to remove my silver ones and paint them matte black.

I was thinking you could spray them easily once removed. Save the $300
I actually prefer this blacked out look for the wheel now that I see it. The silver pieces are a little distracting

Looks very nice @Bob Z. but surprised you didn't paint them yellow

Bob Z.

Yellow is a lot bolder than Miami Blue, which is why I went a different way in this Spyder as compared to the Targa GTS. Since the pic though I changed the shift **** and added a 12'oclock marker.

Simple-just need the corresponding multifunction box that goes in the wheel. Plug and play.

You could do that, 2 screws and the switches come off the insert. I'm not a fan of the "fake" bolts on the silver inserts though.
