I would assume that allTurbos have heated steerig wheels because it is an option but the cost is $0.00 so I assume it is always chosen. Same as the little cargo net in the passenger side footwell.

The wiring is there up to the clockspring... it will have to be replaced with a heated wheel version... as well as the wheel itself... plus an enabling code from a hacker. Don't expect your dealer to help. Porsche doesn't allow upgrades to be added post production. You need to sneak it in...

Hi - anyone know the PN for a 2022 GT3 clockspring w/ heating? I just bought a heated wheel from protechpartseu - my GT3 didn't have come w/ heated wheel, so now need to figure out the clockspring, and the PWIS coding.

I made the switch on a Panamera... I learned that you need to be exact with your clockspring selection and Porsche will not enable for you if it is not on your build sheet... I understand there are hackers that sell PIWIS enabling codes, probably just a rumor.

Hi - I bought the steering column switch unit off of ebay - PN 992953502EKHUO for $450 - hoping to install it this weekend, and then try and program w/ PIWIS. Will report back my findings. This is for my 2022 GT3 Touring . . .

Well - this weekend was a abject FAIL - swapped in the steering column switch unit that I purchased from ebay, hooked everything up, and attempted to program with PIWIS. No communications. I tried every angle, and even got the world expert @rnlst_log to dial in and troubleshoot. The best we can tell, the unit I bought was DOA - wouldn't talk to anything. Spent most of Saturday installing, troubleshooting, and then realizing part was defective. This morning, re-installed original switch unit, which required a calibration of steering angle, re-calibration of power steering and RW steering, and reprogramming of a few other modules. Took a few hours to figure everything out, but got it all back working with no faults.
Next step is to try and return the defective switch unit, and find another one - I might just bite the bullet and purchase a new one - they are around $650 though, so not a small risk. The positive side of the entire "wasted" weekend is that I"m MUCH better with PIWIS now, and have a much better understanding of what many of the controllers / modules do.
Again, @rnlst_log was amazing helping me troubleshoot - truly a bottomless pit of knowledge.

bit the bullet and ordered a new replacement switch unit from dealer - so in a few weeks we will try again. .

Dealer man speak with forked tongue, you just need to change the clockspring, and the clock spring to one with the correct wiring harness. Then the new/used steering wheel... and then buy a hacker code and put it together. Enable it with a PIWIS. THE DEALER WILL DECLINE TO PROGRAM IT IN.

I guess I need to go out of NJ for anything that needs coding in the future. I tried 3 different dealers, the last one nodded yes he can do it, but then didn't... the other two claimed "computer issues"... end result, I had to buy a PIWIS II and do it myself.
