991.2 working multifunction wheel in a 991.1

I am going to add a "standard" MF wheel to my 2012.5 which was built W/O MF. I don't care about heat. So, I need a PDK MF, SCplus steering wheel, reuse the original AB, install a MF control module, purchase the "code" and PIWIS in to my system. Can someone provide a picture of this "MF control module/unit"? Porsche parts are not helpful and said it can't be done which we all know is not true. My individual search does not come up with the "correct" P/N reference or photo that I can tell. Any help is appreciated...

I finally found this thread again and made sure to save the link...
I have a 991.1 non-MF, non-Sport Design wheel and want the GT Sport wheel. Question is MF+heat or non... it looks like at Suncoast the non-MF/heat wheel is only $995, but looks like you MUST add MF/heat, if your car doesn't have it already, which is a $700 bump, totaling $1695. The non-MF wheel is $1395 but I'd need to add $150 for Sport Chrono, so the prices are almost identical. I like the look of the non-MF wheel better honestly, with just the drive mode selector, but doesn't seem to make sense to not add the MF/heat option for the same price, plus having Porsche do the coding... right? It seems like I'm missing something in this equation so putting this one out there.

The $700 option you see on Suncoast is for 991.2 cars. Since yours is 991.1 it doesn't apply. The simplest route for you is get that GT steering wheel for $995, 991.2 airbag, and multifunction delete trim from Suncoast. Then reassemble the wheel (delete the SC dial as well) and install. No coding, or other modules required. If you want multifunction, heat, SC, etc, you'll need to get a suitable https://gpsadapter.us/ module.
I think I'm going to go for the MF/heat/SC (since you can't do them separately it seems like), so will I still need that $700 option on the MF/heat/SC wheel?

I don't care about heat either, but can you buy that separately from MF/SC options? Are you getting the GT Sport 991.2 wheel or the Sport Design 991.1 wheel? I don't think you can reuse your airbag if doing the former, as it's a different shape and smaller.

Thanks for the input, that is helpful! I was aware of the GPS adapter being needed, but I emailed Paul and I apparently need a steering wheel control module, and the coding to be done also by the dealership or someone with similar tools. Looks like I'd need the "Adapter-X" module.

I believe that $700 option is for clockspring (with heat wiring) and control module. Again that option is not intended for 991.1 though it should work together with the gpsadapter. It gets quite pricey to get MF and Heat working, do you want to spend $1200 parts plus coding costs for that?
And per your earlier post, I shouldn't need any other adapters or units by getting the non-MF/SC wheel, and an airbag? That certainly sounds much simpler.

Nope I don't lol. I just want a newer looking wheel with paddles. I was all set to buy the Sport Design .1 wheel but again, it really really dates the car. Would rather bring it forward if going to do an upgrade.

You wouldn't need anything, its plug and play. I have a Macan steering wheel minus multifunction in my 2010 Cayman, works fine.

That's nice- is it the alcantara version? I'd looked at that but wasn't sure how it would fit with my Luxor Beige interior. However, looks like you have the same or similar, and it doesn't contrast too bad at all.

I noticed the suede is much warmer than leather in winter time so I don’t miss having a heated wheel.

Paul sent me this for the "MF control module unit": 958-652-568-14

I just checked that PN. It's a "clock spring" and not the MF control module that I need.

Thank you for the info! First time I've seen that #, I will check it out. I really do not like the .2 or SD wheels so I will just purchase a .1 "standard" MF wheel so the AB will be good. I can order a .1 MF wheel for PDK/SC without heat or with heat which requires a new clock spring. I believe you can get any of the specs on a wheel.

[size=13px]Basic steering wheel upgrade to new multifunction steering wheel need replace to new steering control module hardware and buy multifunction and heating activate code.[/size]
If only need mode switch control,please select adapter-x to inject mode switch drive control signals to center console buttons module.Following steps is add multifunction and heating:1, Replaced to steering control module(Include clock spring) with heating support,parts number: 958-652-568-14
2, heating and multifunction enable code,can buy from here https://www.code-porsche.com ,it’s related with VIN
3, Dealership install new steering control module and help activate multifunction and heating, Steps here https://gpsadapter.us/blogs/installa...-multifunction
4, Gpsadapter install to new steering wheel.
**Replace steering control module need PIWIS to coding and need inquiries your activated functions code(board computer,cruise control)in Porsche dealership system by VIN,calibrate steering control module need PIWIS also
I think I'm going for the non-MF/heat anyway, but it would be cool to have the SC dial on it, but I assume that would need the GPS adapter and more items to make that happen? Are you ordering from Suncoast?

Did anyone have airbag coding warnings when they swapped to the .2 wheel? I just talked to Suncoast about this, and they recommended the .1 Sport Design wheel for this reason, saying when THEY swapped to a .2 GT Sport wheel and new airbag, the car threw off error codes. I get they 'have' to say this from a liability standpoint, being who they are, but is that legit, or just CYA-talk?
