991.1 Sport Design wheel on 997.2
Hi all, Purchased my first Porsche! Dead pleased. 997.2 c2s, 2009, good set of options. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...ab9ffad72.jpeg It came with the 997.1 triangular wheel (and I assume 997.1 steering wheel control module), which many of the early 997.2’s did afaik, Ive managed to get a good deal on a 991.1 Sport Design wheel and airbag, but I’m not sure what to expect for fitting this. The car is manual, it has the multifunction stalk and multifunction controls on the steering wheel (which aren’t great) - the new sport design wheel ISNT multifunction. Now, I suspect I’ll have to replace the control module with a 997.2 or 991.1 module to get the airbag and horn to work... but I’m not sure and can’t find any good info. Also expect there will be some coding required! Hopefilly someone with more knowledge can help point me in the right direction. Thanks! Edit: here’s what I’ve learned so far 1. Upgrading from a manual, multifunction wheel (997.1+) is plug and play 2. Any manual, non multi-function, non heated wheel up to the 991.2 wheel will work 3. No new steering module or coding will be required 4. A steering wheel swap guide is available here |
The steering wheel fits right onto the splines and the airbag plugs right in. The multifunction stuff I'm not so clear on, however.

I have a sport steering wheel from a 991.1 in my 2009 C2 PDK; it was plug and play, though I lost the heated function. Easy install; 20 min start to finish. The only thing I had to go out of my way to get was a Torx T55. |

I did not have the multifunction wheel, however. Install was a breeze; very simple and straight forward. |

Looks great bro. May i know where can i get this. i have a 997.2 and looking forward to have the same mod.

It's a factory option, though it's easy to retrofit. You can try the sales forum here on Rennlist; Suncoast and other sites may have it as well. There was a very large backorder on these steering wheels a few months back and subsequently some colors are now out of production as well (as per Suncoast).

1. Suncoast parts, factory wheel: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/PDKPADDLE.html 2. Dallas Custom Steering Wheel: http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/sw1.htm 3. DCT Motorsports: http://dctms.com/blogmain/2011/10/11...eel-st020j020/ Both Dallas and DCT will build a wheel to your specs where you can specify thickness, stitching, color and material. Cost varies but depends mostly on whether or not you have a core exchange. They build all wheels on stock Porsche wheels. I've bought two wheels from Dallas and it's one of the great overlooked mods out there. It's right there in your hands and in your face every moment you're in the car so I would do it again. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...d07fb72d45.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...5719747069.gif |

You may have the right module already installed but you will have to dig into the column to find out. There is a guy in China who is the guru on this his site GPS Adaptor has most of what you need. A lot of people reference the different module number I believe it’s because they’re mostly tiptronic cars. best of luck, it’s a great mod. |

Thanks, I suspect I will have to upgrade the module too. Seems the 997.2 module will work fine for the 991.1 wheel. Do you have a link to the site you mentioned? |
