I cannot confirm that, but I highly doubt that's true.

I've sold numerous sport wheels, they had panamera, gt3, cayman , 991, and 997 part numbers ... yet all identical and completely interchangeable. The only difference is the gt3 had a shorter paddle throw.

Everything I've seen from sellers says it will fit. I will let you know shortly. I have a macan wheel and just bought a 991.2 airbag

That's interesting. I was told this isn't the case. There's actually a big price difference between the airbag for the 991 and the Macan.

I would love if the Macan bag fit because the 991.2 airbag is out of stock worldwide. Apparently not in US dealer inventory or in Porsche AG inventory. It's annoying because it took 8 weeks to get my custom wheel for my 991 TTS and now I can't get an airbag.

Here are the part numbers:

991.2

I will let you know, bc that is the part number of the airbag I bought.

This is perplexing, bc the bezel has the same part number. So unless the horn ring is different, it should fit. Either way, I will let you know next week.

Always learning new things. Let me know how it works out with the airbag. If it works it will save me time and money.

I didn't know you could buy the bezel cover by itself.

I wonder if you can buy a silver bezel cover for the GTSport wheel. The GT4 wheel has a silver bezel cover for the narrower 360mm wheel so it may be swappable for the black cover on the 991 GT Sport.

It fits snug as a bug.

If you want to hedge your bet, buy one from someone saying it fits both.

Wonder if wiring plugs are the same?

997.1TT with Macan steering wheel with leather 991.2 airbag and 2010 steering module. Zero programing... plug and play without error warnings. Butt... the switches don't work, however MaCarbon is making the inserts to eliminate the switches.

Can you give me the part number for the leather macan airbag? Does the leather airbag look different to the leatherette one?

Sorry... I don't know the part number for that airbag. I used the 991.2 airbag.

As for the leather vs plastic... the leather dents/marks easier, but looks smoother and less shiny.

Where did you find the 991.2 airbag in stock? I have a hard time finding it.

The one you PM'd me was the Macan version. I'd still probably prefer the 991.2 version to be safe since what you proved works above was that one.

eBay .

It was a Macan wheel with a 991.2 airbag. They are completely interchangeable.

Well that's a little scary... didn't know Porsche's airbags were made by Takata. How did we escape the recall?
