991.1 Changing to Sport Steering Wheel, what is required?
Looking to purchase a used 991.1 and I see lots of configurations, and some that have changed to the sport steering wheel with paddle shifters. What is required to change out the steering wheel, and will everything work as OEM
Do you loose functions?
Will Dealership do the work?
How does the change affect warranty?
Just had exactly the same done, dealer fitted
So basically you will end up with a steering wheel and paddle shifters!
The 991.1 sports design wheel (or at least the one I've got) doesn't support heated or any other switching e.g phone, menu access etc.
Warranty unaffected.
Fred: what was the cost do make the swap? I'm also detoured at used 911's with the buttons vs. paddles. Hoping this could be done for a reasonable cost at the dealer.
For me, the sports steering wheel cost me $990 and the installation was $140 at the dealer. Once installed, remember to test the paddles. Pull both towards you to see if the PDK goes into neutral
If the car you buy doesn’t have the sport design steering wheel I recommend switching to the 991.2 wheel. A bit more pricey but definitely worth the upgrade.
still need dealer to program paddle shifter. Unless going to neutral while driving is something you don't care about.
Are you saying if I replace a 991.1 SD wheel with paddles (no MF or heat) with one of the many 2015 or later options from a 991, Panny, Macan etc, that the paddles will run through neutral on their way up or down (not the double pull, which we know puts you in neutral)?

OP was talking about 991.1 PDK sports design steering wheel, right?

+1, the big added cost in going with a 991.2 wheel is the airbag!
Personally i would not go from a MF .1 steering wheel to the sport wheel because you will lose the MF buttons........(unless you dont care much for them)
The only option for me is going with the .2 steering wheel......which cost a lot more

There is another GREAT option which I did to maintain MF and the wheel matching the rest of the interior with Agate Leather and Deviated Stiching and that is the Techart paddles that replace the push buttons. They are available from at least from Tag Motorsports (a Board sponsor I believe).
