I have a 987.2 PDK Cayman. Is it possible to fit the 991 style wheel and what other porsche have that style wheel so I can search for them please that will be a great help 😊
My friend I have a 2005 997.1 C2 i just want to get a 991.2 pdk steering wheel. Non multifunction. Is it just plug and play? Will I be able to control the Tiptronic shifters via the pdk paddles?
If I have the oldest 991.1 steering wheel with multifunction controls , it is easier to swap the 991.2 steering wheel (with multi function controls)? Just pug and play or I need an adapter?
I have a 987.1, manual, no controls or heat. It’s the triangle wheel. I want to upgrade to a nicer wheel, maybe the 991.2. Will that work? Assuming I get the correct airbag, do I then need to figure out a clockspring adapter?
@@JoakimPorscheCaymanS I did! Looks like a brand new interior and was pretty easy getting it installed. Bought the wheel on ebay from a guy who makes them for $1100.
Hi Ryan, great video, I have a '98 993 and do not like he boring steering wheel. Is there another Porsche steering that will fit and be more functional and fit? Thanks, Claus
It will physically fit but you would need to do research on the electronics. Best to ask the supplier for the multifunction adapter if they have any info, may I recommend Cypher to help you out - bit.ly/3j1Be0y
Hey there! Can anyone help me decide on what steering wheel would be better in terms of reach (the adjustment in the steering column is not enoug)h) I would have installed a spacer behind the stock but that would take the stalks too far back, so i figured maybe one of these upgraded wheels might do the trick. If there is any difference, which one comes slightly closer to the driver? Thanks
I have the 997.2 (no multifunction) wheel and purchased a 992 wheel with airbag (with multifunction) Which module would I require and what is the adaptor for? Or is that the same thing as the adaptor? If I install without module I just assume the mf won’t work but the wheel will fit as standard right? Or do I also need an adaptor just for the airbag to work? That but confusing however I have the complete wheel and airbag. Thanks
That is because I had it custom made. I've documented the process here, so you can have an idea what is involved - ruclips.net/video/xenkmqb3Orw/видео.html
@@Carsaddiction thank you for the link. I currently have a 991.2 carrera with m/t and without functional buttons. I figured I can swap over existing parts but finding that carbon fiber wheel with yellow stripe is becoming a challenge.
Hi Ryan, Thanks for the great videos. I'm getting ready to swap my alcantara wheel for a leather one. I found a wheel out of a 2016 GT4 which is manual. Do you know if the paddle shifters from my 2021 Cayman wheel will be a direct bolt on to the 2016 wheel? I'd appreciate any help or insight you can provide. Cheers, Ed
Yes if both wheels are the same design. To give you confidence I have displayed this here - ruclips.net/video/xenkmqb3Orw/видео.html - also reach out if you need to buy the paddle shifter components as I still have the vey ones in that video.
Hello. I have a manual 987.2 cs heated wheel no multi. Is the rectangular electrical connection just for multi function buttons functionality? I would like to swap in this wheel but i would like to remove the multi function buttons ( are they removable). I only need a horn and if possible heating. I know the new airbag is different.
I'm really not sure, and this would be a case of you experimenting on your own car. If it helps I have a bare stripped down version of the carbon wheel (but in leather) for sale, so you don't have to spend much to test fit the wheel to see if its feasible.
Hey Ryan, very informative Video. The one i was looking for a long time :). My question: i have the 971 Panamera 2019, with the Carbon Fiber steering wheel. I want to upgrade it to the newest one, as you shown in your Video. What i have to do? Does the Buttons on the steering wheel work after the upgrade? Thanks
@@Carsaddiction No I just want to install the sport steering wheel that was also introduced to the 997.2 turbo but the one I can find is a 991.1 steering wheel so this one should work normally,is that right? As I have the multifunction steering wheel installed and I want to install the steering wheel as the one you removed in the video
Hi Ryan, I have a base carrera 997.2 2011 with PDK, sport + crono package and I would like to change the standard wheel (push button PDK) to a Sport Wheel (paddle PDK). Do you think is possible? Do I need the Foxwell tool to programing the steering wheel ? I will appreciate your advise o it. Greetings
Yes it is possible and I cover the procedure in this video - ruclips.net/video/MqApyUSeito/видео.html - The only reason you would need the Foxwell tool is if you the old wheel does not have multifunction and the new one has. BUT you would need an electronic converter called the "GPS adapter".
I have a Cayman GTS PDK 2015 (981) with Paddle Shifter (Sport Design Steering Wheel / Alcantara). I would like to upgrade to 991.2 Steering Wheel in Napa Leather not multi function...just suitable for paddle shifter. What budget do I need to plan. What is the best price to acquire the 991.2 steering wheel? How much for installation? Can I trade in my 981 sport design steering wheel with Alcantara?
It is possible. You can either buy one ready or build your own. All part numbers are listed here - www.carsaddiction.com/articles/2020/12/porsche-multi-function-steering-wheel-assembly-and-retrofit
That's not a 997.1 steering wheel, it's the 997.2 Version 2, there are 2 versions of steering wheels that came with the 997.2 , one version carried over to the 991.1. The first part of the video should have been about does the 997.2 version 1 airbag fit in the Version 2 steering wheel because that's the most common upgrade.
Well you know mine can't be tracked for sure :) I enjoy the aesthetics and engine sound mostly of the Porsche. And when circumstances allows a tour of Europe.
@@Carsaddiction Very nice to see 911's in Malta ...I look forward to going back there one day soon to see my cousins and the car culture there .. Great looking GTS by the way ..
I hope you figured it out by now, did you disconnect the battery before unplugging the airbag as not doing so usually throws an error code which needs to ne cleared
Thanks a lot for your suggestion and support! I really appreciate your enthusiasm about the 992 wheel. While its a niche and limited market I won't be going forward with it, however your encouragement means a lot to me.

997 steering wheels looks like they are designed for Minivans. 991.1 steering wheels looks like some cheap imitation from China. 991.2 finally looks like it belongs in a sports car.

Would the 992.1 wheel works in a 991.1?
(Including the drive select thingy)

Many thanks for such detailed explanation!! Wanted to install 992 steering wheel on my 991.2, but your video has saved me some $$$ )))
If I have the oldest 991.1 steering wheel with multifunction controls , it is easier to swap the 991.2 steering wheel (with multi function controls)? Just pug and play or I need an adapter?
Thank you so much this video was very informative saved me a lot of money from having bought the wrong airbag, thank you!!!!
I can't decide between the bolt in solution of the 991.1 Sport wheel and the more involved option with the 991.2 wheel in my 991.1
Would any of these factory 911 steering wheels be compatible with my 2004 996.2 911 turbo 6-speed manual?
I have a 987.1, manual, no controls or heat. It’s the triangle wheel. I want to upgrade to a nicer wheel, maybe the 991.2. Will that work? Assuming I get the correct airbag, do I then need to figure out a clockspring adapter?
The wheel will mount on the hub, but the airbag connector and clockspring would not work.
@@Carsaddictionwhy not? The 991.2 steering wheel has the same Yellow/Orange main connector.
@@TurtleDuckiHow did it go for you? Did u go for 991-wheel?
@@JoakimPorscheCaymanS I did! Looks like a brand new interior and was pretty easy getting it installed. Bought the wheel on ebay from a guy who makes them for $1100.
@TurtleDucki What a bargain👍 $1100...omg. Thanx for info. Trying to find best & correct solution & info since +1 year about this. 😅
Hi Ryan, great video, I have a '98 993 and do not like he boring steering wheel. Is there another Porsche steering that will fit and be more functional and fit? Thanks, Claus
Can the 992.1 steering wheel retrofit into a 2014 Cayman S 981.. please let me know .. Thanks
It will physically fit but you would need to do research on the electronics. Best to ask the supplier for the multifunction adapter if they have any info, may I recommend Cypher to help you out - bit.ly/3j1Be0y
So will any 991 fit a 981 boxster cayman.

Or do I also need an adaptor just for the airbag to work? That but confusing however I have the complete wheel and airbag. Thanks
For one your airbag connector is different. On making this video an adapter was non existent.
@@Carsaddiction great - I have the adaptor now. It’s being done tomorrow
@@torquesporttv9078 can you please tell me where you had the adapter made? 🙏🏼 I too have a 992 steering wheel that I am trying to put into my 997.
Is the diameters of all the steering wheels the same? From the video roughly looks the same. How about thickness?
Excellent video!
Hey Ryan, where can I find that exact 991.2 steering wheel? Never seen one that came with that yellow stripe and carbon fiber!
That is because I had it custom made. I've documented the process here, so you can have an idea what is involved - ruclips.net/video/xenkmqb3Orw/видео.html

It is possible, each wheel has the individual blanks to replace the multifunction switches.
Is there any of these wheels that I can put on my 995 2004 model Cayenne s
I'm really not sure, and this would be a case of you experimenting on your own car. If it helps I have a bare stripped down version of the carbon wheel (but in leather) for sale, so you don't have to spend much to test fit the wheel to see if its feasible.
Hey Ryan, very informative Video. The one i was looking for a long time :).

I want to upgrade it to the newest one, as you shown in your Video.
What i have to do? Does the Buttons on the steering wheel work after the upgrade?
Thanks
I wouldn't know about the 971 Panamera, best to ask in the forums.
So the 991 wheel will fit the 997.2 without any issue?
Yes, but if you want the multifunction there's a workaround. Full details here - ruclips.net/video/MqApyUSeito/видео.html
@@Carsaddiction No I just want to install the sport steering wheel that was also introduced to the 997.2 turbo but the one I can find is a 991.1 steering wheel so this one should work normally,is that right?
As I have the multifunction steering wheel installed and I want to install the steering wheel as the one you removed in the video
One type is missing… I think the 997.1 pic is not the right one you shown…

Someone should just upgrade the cheat controller and roll with third generation steering wheel
997 steering wheels looks like they are designed for Minivans.
991.1 steering wheels looks like some cheap imitation from China.
991.2 finally looks like it belongs in a sports car.
