Ken, I don't think the difference in airbag shape has any effect on the connector. As long as you don't have the key in the ignition throughout the swap process, the airbag fault shouldn't be triggered. I replaced the 4-spoke steering wheel in my previous 996 with a Turbo 3-spoke steering wheel, and everything was fine. I'd think the 997 would work the same.

Update: I made the switch myself today, and like others who have done it said, it was simple and easy. I did disconnect the battery just to be safe, which results in the PSM wanting to be re-set, which takes about 30 seconds by following instructions in the manual. Thanks for everyone's help in what turned out to be a simple straight-forward job. Next are the seats, then I'm done.
