FWIW, when I changed my wheel to the Tecquipment wheel, the horn and paddle shifters worked, but the sport and sport plus lights did not light up until I brought to the dealer and they changed the computer settings.

Located in Belgium
For the life of me I can not understand why the MF would need to be enabled for the horn to work however my car was a MF so it was enabled from the start, I did need to replace the module and enable it for the new wheel to function however like I mentioned the horn worked from the get go.
if it were me I’d pop it out real quick and double check connections.
check the fuse, and if both of those are ok then plug it in to a piwis.
Seems you are a tad bit far to stop by so I can give you a hand!!

I know, sounds bizarre that you have to program your car to multifunction in order for the horn to work on a non-multifunction steering wheel.
But I read that it worked for at least 3-4 people already...

And California to Belgium isn't such a long flight is it?

always trying to hit that right balance of parking as far away from the priuses as possible without looking like a complete toolbag.

A nice light rain shower moved through and what better way to test the new coating for beading. Sheeting was good where there was enough water.



Dried the car and applied the TW shine n seal. The ceramic was so effective, this just beaded up when sprayed on (below). It had to be worked in with the microfiber towel and then wiped clean with a fine loop detailing towel. It deepened the black ever so slightly once fully worked in.



Pretty happy with this perfomance and have Avalon King Armor IX coming to test on my wifes car. I'll provide an update if there is any difference in the product application.

Nice shot. The GR really pops and the motion blur is quiet good.

I went with the stock mounts from SunCoast. My objective was to clean-up the shifting as this is a weekend car.

You were right...cheap festoon LED license plate bulbs went 3 months before they started to flicker. Got the factory LED plate full housing units from Suncoast and installed them now. Hopefully, they last longer.

Installed a set of Depo taillights on the 997.1. I think they give it a clean updated look


I’m debating semi solid mounts next, but still trying to determine if the added NVH will lean on the side of more motorsport sound or irritating vibration?

Looks great. Hit that sucker with some ATF. It will pretty much match your car. Tires too...

Very interested in the Avlon product as that's very highly rated in several "Best of.." reviews.

Had to replace my serpentine belt yesterday with the help of my cool *** Porsche friends that drove from all over to come help.

This is what the community is about. People willing to help and lend their experience to make things work for each other. And if there are beers or drinks involved, even better!
