Do the shift buttons remain functional?
I am considering the purchase of a tiptronic cab and I am wondering what options I have. I do want to keep the airbag.
TIA

I'm using a 996 three spoke wheel in my TIP cab and I love it. The buttons are functional. The wheel has Momo like grips and the buttons are bigger and easier to use. I can push the buttons without taking my hands off of the wheel. I grab the grips above the buttons and use the bottom of my hand with my wrists to shift. My wheel did not come with the air bag so I bought the factory air bag with a painted crest. It looks very nice.

I am on my fourth steering wheel. Stock to a three-spoke tip to a three-spoke non-tip to a three spoke non-tip leather carbon fiber. I did not like the steering wheel buttons. I shift manually 99.9 % of the time. I would occasionally accidentally hit a button and send the RPM's sky high. Without the buttons and getting rid of the shift plate and putting a shift boot on gives a much cleaner look.

where is the best place to find a 996 3 spoke with tip buttons and air bag?

Does the 996 three spoke wheel fit on a 964 C2 Tip.?
Is it difficult to instal? What about the airbag?

Thaks in advance...

Sorry,
do you have any pics of your 996 three spoke wheel to see the final result?

I heard the 996 TIP wheel will not fit a 964. I bought my wheel off of Ebay. I bought it several years ago when they were taking brand new wheels off of 996 TIPs in favor of the carbon fiber wheels.
This allowed me to get a brand new take off. I paid $180.00 for the wheel and the total ripoff price for the air box from the dealership.
