Upgrade to Multifunction Steering Wheel 997.1
Probably addressed somewhere here in this forum, but I didn’t find. I have a 997.1 without a multifunction steering wheel and was wondering if a multifunction wheel can be installed ?
thanks todd 07 c2s cab |
You'll need to visit the dealer in order to enable the MF buttons.

This will be a nice little easy project! Finding one will be the challenge. If Stone grey, I can use my airbag if missing. If black I’ll need an airbag too. Probably can paint my airbag. Thanks todd 07 c2s cab slate grey |
Well, found one on eBay but the airbag looks to be a different shape. Mine is round vs triangular. So, I will just need to locate one with its airbag. todd 07 C2S cab |
I have a multi-function triangle airbag steering wheel I would be willing to trade for a round-airbag steering wheel:

sf-63: Yes, that would be what I’m looking for. Maybe would paint it if it’s black. I sent a pm to you on it. Best regards todd 07 C2S cab |
I’m honestly getting more and more confused on the topic. I asked my OPC in Bern (Switzerland) if my 997.2 C4S could have the multi function steering wheel fitted, and after they had checked the VIN id I was told it was not possible... I have the PCM 3.0 with nav but not the phone module fitted (but does have the BT option) so cannot be because of this. I have given up tbh... |
what color are you looking for ? I'm swapping out mine very soon, steering wheel MF + triangle air bag.... sea blue mint mint condition.

Thx. I’m primarily looking either for Stone Grey or, secondarily, black. Otherwise, I will need to re paint, which is a possibility with a dark color. I may have the console and door card plastic re dyed so, the wheel could be done then too. todd 07 C2S cab slate grey |
Picked up a 997.1 MF wheel and have installed it. As expected, the buttons don’t work. So, I was wondering if enabling them is dealer-only and what it’s likely to cost. Thanks Todd 07 997 C2S cab 09 957 GTS 08 BMW K1200GT |

I went through this a couple months ago after getting lots of help on here from some who have already posted, Petra. Yes a dealer trip is in order to make it work properly. Dealing with the dealer was more painful than going to the dentist for me. They just do not like to do this kind of stuff on these cars or at least none of the three dealers I contacted. I contacted an Indy that was very helpful and even though he had a jail broken PIWIS he said sometimes he can’t get it to work because of firmware issues. Module firmware, car brain firmware etc. sometimes they just conflict and older or newer firmware needs installed to make it work. Only a dealer has access to that. Best of luck. I love my multifunction steering wheel. |
I went to my Indy to get the "activation" done. Took him 30 min or so. Cheaper this way than to buy a PIWIS equivalent.
I told him to enable all the functions, so that the phone would also work with my aftermarket HU. A subset of the buttons worked with the PCM 2.1, but then I wanted aftermarket anyways. With the aftermarket HU, all the buttons work (you need the right steering wheel controls adapter). |
Took my car to a dealer and they say I need to have a different controller, harness, etc. So, they couldn’t make it work. Bummer! Haven’t quite given up yet, but I’m close... todd 07 C2S cab 09 957 GTS |
