997 "Sport" Steering Wheel Retro Fit with Multifunction Module?
Before I go down a dead end, I thought I'd poll the collective to see if this is even possible...
I have 2007 997 C4S with the "Sport" (round airbag) style steering wheel and love the feel of the wheel but an wondering if it possible to retro fit a Multifunction control buttons/module into it (or anything like)? The angle of the multifunction control buttons seem the same but you know how it goes with Porsche's and "standards"...
Here's a pic of "Sport" steering wheel without air bag

It's been my understanding that that is not that straightforward a retrofit. Just for the sake of simplicity, assume that you had the conventional multifunction steering wheel available as a take off from another vehicle, the PCM has to be told that there is such a steering wheel in the car. To adapt the round wheel to fit those pieces may be too much work.

Suncoast supplies a conversion kit where you just replace the buttons. You will need the dealer to activate it.
I spoke to my dealer about it and he mumbled that the wiring may not be there if you have a conventional wheel. Personally I think this is bull but something you should clarify before you go and buy the stuff!
