I have a 2009 997.2 that did not have a multifunction steering wheel. I have one one installed now with the module and such installed. I contacted the dealer to get it programmed and this is what I am told:

“I apologize for the delayed response as I was doing some research on this matter. After speaking with the Shop lead and the Parts Manager, the steering wheels can be swapped as you have done but I am being told that if the vehicle wasn't built with this multi-function steering wheel, we are not able to turn on the functionality of the steering wheel. With that said, we don’t mind attempting to perform that task for you but we cant guarantee it will operate. I understand you are driving 2 hours to get to us but I cant be 100% certain we can perform this task. If we are able to for some reason make it function, the cost would be $199.00 plus tax. I look forward to hearing from you”.

All my research says the dealer is incorrect. Will somebody just chime in who has done this?

Thanks in advance. Oh yea this is North Houston Porsche.

 

put on in my car and it works fine. They have never done one before. They have to actuate the multifunction capabilities with their computer, but i would find another dealer that knows what they are doing, and not pay over an hour service charge, not 199

 

 

 

Tampa, but any tech should know how to do this kind of thing, I wouldnt try to persuade one to do something they dont understand. Call or go to some other dealer or a indy shop can do it if they have current computers

 

 

 

Is this something that can be programmed with a Durametric?
My wheel works great, but I never had the sport and sport + lights in the wheel activated.
