991.2 working multifunction wheel in a 991.1

So in order to get the heated part to work, you need to remove the resistors from the old wheel and put them into the new wheel?

No, the new wheel switch has to be modified. The switch board has two resistors, one which has to be removed and one which needs to be replaced, the picture I posted is with the work done. The gpsadapter kit provides the replacement resistor.

Standard surface mount stuff. Easy if you have there right tools (microscope, fine soldering tip). Harder if you don't.
I would love to have a non-MF steering in the 991.1 GT3 style but with heating. The MF controls do nothing for me. But I don't think such a thing exists.

The new wheels are supposed to be modular, meaning that you could potentially have the non MF wheel with the heating. I'm not 100% sure but I do think it it is doable.

its absolutely doable i consider myself a novice at this stuff which is why i found it difficult, i used tweezers from a precision tool kit to hold it in place and solder and the soldering iron in the other hand. Im sure there are easier ways to do it but im just not skilled in that area

Yep, jewellers tweezers are helpful. Also serve as a heat sink when soldering the small stuff.
The steering wheels may be modular, but the parts don't seem to be available seperately. So I'd have to buy a MF wheel with heating and a non-MF wheel without and then transfer the left and right inserts from the Non-MF to the MF one. Could then make a MF one with no heating and sell that I suppose.

Found this thread on a search so...what I have NOT seen asked here (maybe b/c there are so few of us). What happens if I do NOT have a MF steering wheel (Sport Design actually), MT? Specifically (three questions):
CAN I get the MF to work on the new wheel (like phone, volume, scroll wheel for gauge, etc. - I don't have or care about heated steering wheel)?
Can I get the little 'selector' wheel to work (sport modes, etc.)?
What WILL work vs. will NOT work (based on the scenarios above)?
Thanks for the clarification! -Dom

He’s working on the wheel for all models

You can select new steering wheel "Without heating support",Original wheel as "sport design without heating",select your Porsche model year,then you will get adapter part number "STMV1" $349

Something worth noting, make sure to fully unplug all of the connectors from the wheel before removing it or the clock spring will come loose and unwind. They don't currently have clock springs with PDK available (as far as I can tell) so it won't be as easy as replacing it. I bought the clock spring that went with my VIN and asked the dealer to verify that it was for PDK since my research led me to believe that it was for a manual. Once I put the new one on it was clear that it was for manuals only. Fortunately I was able to wind mine back up properly and reinstall it.
