Jim- everything working now need to program the steering module for the controls and illumination to work.

Contacted NAV-TV for help waiting for a call back, CAN Bus is confirmed to wired correctly as the Bose amp and volume works. long 6 week journey but worth it, thanks again for the inspiration.
Solved the NAV-TV issue without their lack of support, flashed the 09-12 software the controls worked but no volume so amp was off. Then reverted back to the 05-08 version the everything seems good however the phone buttons still don't work, do they work on your car?
Nice, sounds like you got it working. Only the volume knob up/down and radio tuning knob up/ down is working on mine, plus night illumination. The additional buttons on the wheel are recognized when activated as verified by my scan tool but doesn't work/not supported with my aftermarket stereo/MOST HUR adapter. The phone button may work to answer/hang up with Android Auto but currently Android Auto is not working with my current phone (Essential phone) so I'm not able to confirm. Regardless, I think the phone button is not that useful.
I agree the phone buttons are not a deal breaker as I never take calls in this car and it's a Cab. You asked about the Alpine iLX-207 to date its the best head unit i've owned. The phone controls worked on other cars with AA. pretty sure this is on the NAV-TV unit. While troubleshooting the controls the phone buttons did work on the PCM 2.1. not so amazing $650.00 box with no support. The funny part is no I'm going to rip out the amp and speakers...

Hello Mr. Wong, 1st off thank you for your video(s). before sending you a comment I did happen to read all the comments. My inquiry is if I have an automatic 997.1 w/multi-function and tiptronic functionality when swapping to 991.2 that has all the same functions will a straight swap do the trip, of course with the addition of the GPS adapter. In your experience will I still need to reprogram if all my functions on my 997.1 have the same functions on the 991.2 steering wheel I planning on swapping. Thanks again!!!!!
You will still need the updated steering column control module 997.613.289.01 and that needs to be programmed for Tip and multi function. Unless you're lucky to find a used one on eBay that came out of a tip with MF. Otherwise the paddles and MF will probably not work.

Shroud - Porsche (95B-419-798-B-5Q0) this part you listed is the shroud with the cut outs for the shift paddles. What is the part number for the manual transmission shroud please?
I just double checked again, that is the correct part number for manual transmission that I got. Same part number on the shroud itself. The picture on the parts diagram shows a cutout incorrectly which also confused me.
have a 997.1 TT also manual. already did the PCM swap to a pioneer 2440. considering this swap an on the fence about MF buttons since ,y right hand is usually on the shifter anyway so i've convinced myself the MF is an extra hassle/expense. but MF wheels seem to be more plentiful than non especially in macan variety. So i either figure out how to delete the buttons or go the extra mile to activate them. I'm assuming then I need GPS module, and the steering column adapter, and the wire from the mos-hur adapter to run the MF into the head unit. anything else? seems we may have similar head units so maybe i'll have similar luck
Yes, your assessment is spot on and I agree the MF is an extra hassle and expense. As you mentioned, it requires the gps adapter $350 and updated steering column module and programming. You may be able to find the blank inserts for the MF or I would just leave them non functioning. Also if you care about the MF night illumination, you will need the gps adapter. Most Macan wheel I've seen also comes with the paddle shifter which you can delete and replace with the proper shroud for about $50. Make sure the MOS HUR adapter works with your head unit. I think Pioneer is not officially supported (but may still work?) and you may need to update the firmware of the MOS HUR. Also if updating the steering column module (specially if buying new), it will probably require programming and calibrating the steering angle sensor. I got lucky on my used unit that came off a wrecked 2010 BoxterS.
hey jim, how did you need to recalibrate the PSM steering angle sensor, even after switching the steering control module? I suspect i may have disconnected the battery too long and now my function stalk will not even work (after switching the steering ctrl module) really appreciate your insight.
No, I lucked out. I got mine from eBay which came off a wrecked 2010 Boxster S. I only had to enable the multi-function and get the gpsadapter for the multifunction and illumination to work. It came with the wiper/signal levers and the listing shows the following parts 997.613.261.00 + 997.613.265.00 + 997.613.055.11 + 7L5.953.541D + 997.613.289.01. The last part number is the needed updated module for the multifunction and/or paddle shifters (tip) to work on 997.1. If you get a new module which sounds like you did as I don't think disconnecting battery too long is the culprit, you will definitely need to do some programming including enabling features like cruise control, etc.
@@atm4jim i agree with what you're saying about disconnecting the battery for too long. in fact, i ordered the steering wheel mf adapter today - so i will be disconnecting the batter for an extended period of time. 7 months ago, someone got my cruise control/function stalk to work, let's see if it gets disconnected again. Question: i noticed you didn't take off the airbag mounting plate to avoid strip t20 screws, was there enough space for you to tuck the wires underneath? How did you end up getting the wires to sit in the correct wire harness path?
@@chh7681 I don't think disconnecting the battery for a long time is an issue, though you will get a couple of warnings (PASM/PTM? failures) which goes away after a short drive. It also have to re-learn the power windows by simply raising them up/down a couple of times. Best that I can remember, running the wires underneath wasn't difficult but may require further disassembly to gain access.
@@atm4jim yup just installed it. and i did it without removing the steering wheel! just had to be slow and precise with pliers. you're right about disconnecting the battery, my steering wheel ctrl module did not need to be reprogrammed. regarding MF - my volume works right away, but the other buttons do not. i have an android headunit from china/aliexpress, and it's not detecting my buttons. do you think perhaps volume works by default but all the other multifunction buttons need to be programmed by turning on MULTIFUNCTION via PIWIS?
@@chh7681 You're very fortunate that the volume is working. Not all the buttons will work with aftermarket stereos. With mine, I have a MOST HUR 997 adapter for my aftermarket stereo and I only use volume and radio tuning knobs and mute.
I have the same Foxwell model, but I can't find the option, How did you get to be able to activate the buttons on the steering wheel with Foxwell? (I don't have pee-wees like they say you have to do)
You may need the PIWIS if you are programming a new steering wheel module that's never been programmed before. Mine was from a used Boxster and I was able to enable the multifunction feature by going to programming under menu #17 Steering Col. Switch. Thanks.
@@atm4jim Thank you very much my friend, do you know what the options are to get there but with PIWIS? Now I'm going with someone who has it, but doesn't know the options, I'll try to search and tell you how it went.
Appreciate your sharing ! However I’m still wondering as my car is a 2007 987.1 Boxster with manual non-MF wheel, and I’m gonna swap in the 991.2 non-MF manual wheel, do I need the steering column module ? Thanks !
hey , i have 997.1 2006 with macan steering wheel, the shift working, horn working, but the multifunction steering is not working, can i need to replace the module or just the adapter? i ask it because the shifters are working..
Hey Jim, completed the swap ran into into an issue... Rusnak Porsche won't program it for me they claim they didn't do the work. I have a friend with a PIWIS2 in La Jolla that will help me next weekend. my other choice is an Indy. Installed a new steering module so I don't have the stalks for cruise control and the MFD working also the PSM is faulted due to the steering angle sensor not programmed.Suspension seems to be stuck in sports mode perhaps due to the angle sensor?. You were fortunate to find a used module and save this headache. Thanks again for all the part numbers and documentation Who needs a 992 :).
On mine, the PSM shows a fault each time I disconnect the battery but goes away after a short drive. I guess I got lucky as I didn't have to calibrate my steering angle sensor and it seems okay. No idea about being stuck in sports mode and how it's even related to the steering angle or module, haven't read anyone else with that issue. I supposed the module you got is brand new and has no previous program which explains why the cruise control isn't working. I guess I did get lucky then as the donor car was pre-programmed except for the multifunction.
I suspect it's all related to steering angle as the active suspension has to know where the car is going to firm up that corner.Since it was working fine before now the sport button is affected. Your right the PSM will always clear after a short drive. Could not locate a used module in Paul li's guide. Tried playing with the Durametric Pro but won't code the steering module what a useless tool for the price. I was able to turn off all the chimes and daytime running lights. then disable the PCM,XM,changer and NAV that I removed with the aftermarket radio. There's no need to see them listed on the MFD. photos.google.com/album/AF1QipPo_ckctpBx0KLcUEvwTUVSNtn_XyWojQvC6Zhl/photo/AF1QipNUczIQHVmGhyk-fVjaMmTOQ8tx3m30F8PUbDd0 Saved about 15 pounds!
Hello Jim. What year is the old clock spring versus the new clock spring? I am interested in making a swap in my Cayenne. Also do u think it was the module alone that made it work or a combination of the updated clock spring an module?
I swapped out the steering column module from the 997.1 (2007-2009?) to 997.2 gen (2010-2012?) as it didn't support the multi function controls of the 991 steering wheel. The clock spring should be the same but I'm not familiar with doing steering swap on a Cayenne. You might want to contact gpsadapter.us if you have questions on getting multi function control to work on the steering wheel. I think the only time the clock spring might be different if you're trying to install a heated steering wheel and your old one didn't have it.
What colors are the connectors? Do the colors match between the plugs and airbag connectors? There should only be 2 locking style connectors for the airbag and maybe a wire for the horn. If you have the correct airbag for the wheel, it should be plug and play. Can you provide a link as to where you got it? It sounds like the other connectors are for the multifunction and paddle shifter feature which you may not need.
@@atm4jim I think you are right. See pics here: rennlist.com/forums/997-turbo-forum/733311-997-1-to-997-2-steering-wheel-swap-done-11.html If that is the case, do i need a new harness or just disregard the other connectors?
I have a 997.1 2008 C2 with TIP and just want to use a Macan Wheel plain with just the paddle shifters. (No Heating or multifuntion as the car never had those options) Can I get away without any adapters? The porsche and GPS adapters plus programming would add close to $1000 to this project.
You will not need the gps adapter but you will most likely need the updated module (part# 997.613.289.01) and programming for the paddle shifters to work. I also read a few people needing it (module and programming) for the horn to work.
I have a 997.2 that has pdk and multi-function steering wheel. I purchased a 991.2 wheel and the multi-function doesnt work. Is there another place where I can buy that box to make it work. I checked one of the links you had listed and it was like $700. Currently I removed the multi-function parts and would like to re-install in the future but $700 seems steep to just turn my volume up and down.
I don't know of another adapter. We are lucky someone reversed engineer the Porsche protocol to made it work. There was a group buy, no affiliation, cyphervehicledesign.com/collections/porsche-parts/products/stmv1-stmv1-h
I’ve done this in Sand Beige about a year ago. Love it except I used the non multifunctional button black inserts. Your part number for the manual shroud is incorrect. Could you provide the correct one?
I just checked again, it's correct for manual transmission, no cutout. The picture on the parts diagram shows a cutout incorrectly. They must use the same photo for both parts.
Jim Wong thanks for going the extra mile and checking. You were right the photo threw me off as it had a photo of the cutouts. If you’re 100% sure, I’ll go ahead and order. Wish I could post a photo of my solution. I did a fair job but you one up’d me. Nice work finding the manual shroud and thank you!
Jay Persaud thank you! I’m going to place my order. I’m having the 991.2 Macan wheel wrapped in Sand Beige as opposed to Luxor Beige as the Luxor is slightly lighter and driving me nuts. The 991.2 wheel sure looks wonderful in a 997.2 cockpit!
Jim, Thank you for posting this video. I am so glad i ran into it. I have a 997.1 manual. I do NOT have MF and do not care for MF. In this case, do i need the steering wheel and the new air bag from a 2016 or newer Macan? I could get the blank inserts from Suncoast along with the shroud part#: 95B419798B5Q0. Is there anything else that i need besides this? I understand he horn might not work until i have the dealer recode my current module to a MF. (From my understanding, this coding allows the power to the horn)
Sounds like you're all set, just a new Macan wheel and appropriate airbag, wheels from other models should also work (most should work except newest 971 Panamera which has different wiring connector). As you stated, the horn may require coding at the dealer to work. In my case, it just worked after the wheel swap. It appears perhaps Porsche changed the way the horn is activated from simple ground wire to LIN BUS in later production, just my guess. Just remember to disconnect the battery (do not turn on ignition without the airbag) during the install so you don't get an airbag warning light.
@@atm4jim Jim, Thank you for your response. Did you have MF on your car before you started this entire project? What year production is your car? Also, the tool you used to program the MF capability, what tool did you use? I have the Pro model Durametric but that does not allow me to program the MF option. I am asking just in case my dealer will have a problem coding the MF to my 997.
@@John-fv3bz Yes, on the old wheel. But to get the MF to work on the new wheel, I had to upgrade the steering control module, get the gpsadapter and enable the feature (PIWIS or similar tool). Swapping the module may also require calibrating the steering angle sensor. I was fortunate and bought a used module which made it an easy swap and I was able to program it using a Foxconn NT-520 tool I had and I didn't need to re-calibrate the SAS.
You can probably buy a used wheel like I did on eBay for about $600 to $1K. It will depend whether you have a manual or Tip and if you care to have the multi function buttons to work because this will require new center console module, gpsadapter and programming at a dealer or similar.
hi Jim, I'm thinking of doing a similar swap for a 14' Cayenne GTS as the "Macan" steeringwheel is just gorgeous . how's the gpsadapter? is it working reliably all the time?
I'm happy with the gpsadapter. I do notice the station up/down knob control isn't consistent in responsiveness. I don't think it's the adapter fault but the older PCM slower sampling rate or slower CPU if that makes sense.
No heat, but I believe you do need a hard special clock spring adapter that supports it and may need additional wires to the steering column for the heat to work. Thanks.
The 997.2 should already have the required steering column module but will probably need programming at the Dealer with PIWIS to enable paddle shifters on Tiptronic or multifunction to work (will also need gpsadapter). If your car is a manual and don't need the multifunction feature, then it should be plug and play, just the new wheel and airbag.
Yes, but if you want the paddle shifters to work, it requires the updated steering control module part# 997.613.289.01 and programming by dealer/shop with PIWIS or similar. The paddle shifters on these newer wheels are awesome. I almost left mine even though my car is a manual.
Jim, did you need to install any additional control units for your multifunction controls to work with the aftermarket head unit? Like a Paser or something?
Well you do need a MOST adapter in order for the aftermarket unit to work with the factory Bose system and the aftermarket head unit has the multifunction wire connected to the MOST adapter. This is because the factory Bose system uses a fiber optic system. This (MOST H.U.R.) adapter is pricey but you can probably find cheaper alternatives nowadays. But I didn't use or need any other adapters like iDatalink Maestro steering wheel adapter, etc.
@@atm4jim My 987.2 Cayman has a basic (non-Bose) system. So I didn’t need any adapters to make my Kenwood work. I am wondering in your case, what enables the steering wheel multifunction commands control your Kenwood unit.
@@alexduhon1589 My Kenwood aftermarket head unit has a steering wheel multifunction output wire which connects to my H.U.R. MOST adapter. The 991 steering wheel also requires the STMV1 adapter from gpsadapter.us. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the non Bose setup though I imagine it would be simpler than with it.
@@nicetime74 Yes, it worked for me, though totally unexpected as I was prepared to have to go to the shop/dealer with a PIWIS. Also, keep in mind, you may need to re-calibrate your steering angle sensor especially if your swapping to a new center module. Here's the step I used - From the start, select Porsche > Your car's model > Programming > Steering Col. Switch > Customer specific settings > Multifunction or Sport/Launch Display > Edit > input today's date (I left default value) > Finish > Installed > Save/Continue/Finish. In the Steering Col Switch settings, there are selections to edit rear wiper/washer, PDK/Tiptronic, speed control system (cruise control?), push to talk (???), headlight washing system, etc though I didn't have to change these.

Thanks. It's not hard to DIY especially if you don't need to swap out the center column module if your car is a manual transmission and don't care for the multi-function/illumination. It's also a lot less expensive than before due to the availability of used Macan steering wheels.

Great videos on this mod Jim! I just picked up a 2016 Macan Turbo steering wheel and also a used steering column module for my manual transmission 997.1TT.

I found one on eBay and it has part number 95B880201M5Q0, but I’m trying to figure out how to verify it will work.
A quick way to check is the color of the 2 air bag connectors, it should match the 2 plugs of the steering wheel, tan and yellow. Also the airbag should have a silver round trim.

I'm assuming then I need GPS module, and the steering column adapter, and the wire from the mos-hur adapter to run the MF into the head unit. anything else? seems we may have similar head units so maybe i'll have similar luck
Yes, your assessment is spot on and I agree the MF is an extra hassle and expense. As you mentioned, it requires the gps adapter $350 and updated steering column module and programming. You may be able to find the blank inserts for the MF or I would just leave them non functioning. Also if you care about the MF night illumination, you will need the gps adapter. Most Macan wheel I've seen also comes with the paddle shifter which you can delete and replace with the proper shroud for about $50.
Make sure the MOS HUR adapter works with your head unit. I think Pioneer is not officially supported (but may still work?) and you may need to update the firmware of the MOS HUR. Also if updating the steering column module (specially if buying new), it will probably require programming and calibrating the steering angle sensor. I got lucky on my used unit that came off a wrecked 2010 BoxterS.
hey jim, how did you need to recalibrate the PSM steering angle sensor, even after switching the steering control module?
I suspect i may have disconnected the battery too long and now my function stalk will not even work (after switching the steering ctrl module)
really appreciate your insight.
No, I lucked out. I got mine from eBay which came off a wrecked 2010 Boxster S. I only had to enable the multi-function and get the gpsadapter for the multifunction and illumination to work. It came with the wiper/signal levers and the listing shows the following parts 997.613.261.00 + 997.613.265.00 + 997.613.055.11 + 7L5.953.541D + 997.613.289.01. The last part number is the needed updated module for the multifunction and/or paddle shifters (tip) to work on 997.1.
If you get a new module which sounds like you did as I don't think disconnecting battery too long is the culprit, you will definitely need to do some programming including enabling features like cruise control, etc.
@@atm4jim i agree with what you're saying about disconnecting the battery for too long. in fact, i ordered the steering wheel mf adapter today - so i will be disconnecting the batter for an extended period of time. 7 months ago, someone got my cruise control/function stalk to work, let's see if it gets disconnected again. Question: i noticed you didn't take off the airbag mounting plate to avoid strip t20 screws, was there enough space for you to tuck the wires underneath? How did you end up getting the wires to sit in the correct wire harness path?
@@chh7681 I don't think disconnecting the battery for a long time is an issue, though you will get a couple of warnings (PASM/PTM? failures) which goes away after a short drive. It also have to re-learn the power windows by simply raising them up/down a couple of times.
Best that I can remember, running the wires underneath wasn't difficult but may require further disassembly to gain access.
@@atm4jim yup just installed it. and i did it without removing the steering wheel! just had to be slow and precise with pliers. you're right about disconnecting the battery, my steering wheel ctrl module did not need to be reprogrammed.
regarding MF - my volume works right away, but the other buttons do not. i have an android headunit from china/aliexpress, and it's not detecting my buttons. do you think perhaps volume works by default but all the other multifunction buttons need to be programmed by turning on MULTIFUNCTION via PIWIS?
@@chh7681 You're very fortunate that the volume is working. Not all the buttons will work with aftermarket stereos. With mine, I have a MOST HUR 997 adapter for my aftermarket stereo and I only use volume and radio tuning knobs and mute.
I have the same Foxwell model, but I can't find the option,
How did you get to be able to activate the buttons on the steering wheel with Foxwell? (I don't have pee-wees like they say you have to do)
You may need the PIWIS if you are programming a new steering wheel module that's never been programmed before. Mine was from a used Boxster and I was able to enable the multifunction feature by going to programming under menu #17 Steering Col. Switch. Thanks.
Programming> Steering Col. Switch>Customer-specific settings>Multi-function or Sport/Launch dispaly =installed.
@@atm4jim Thank you very much my friend, do you know what the options are to get there but with PIWIS? Now I'm going with someone who has it, but doesn't know the options, I'll try to search and tell you how it went.
Appreciate your sharing ! However I’m still wondering as my car is a 2007 987.1 Boxster with manual non-MF wheel, and I’m gonna swap in the 991.2 non-MF manual wheel, do I need the steering column module ? Thanks !
You should not need the updated steering module. But I've read some people having issue with the horn, not sure why.
hey , i have 997.1 2006 with macan steering wheel, the shift working, horn working, but the multifunction steering is not working, can i need to replace the module or just the adapter?
i ask it because the shifters are working..
Since shifters are working, seems like you got the right module but just need it enabled via PIWIS (dealer/shop) or Foxwell scan tool.
Hey Jim, completed the swap ran into into an issue... Rusnak Porsche won't program it for me they claim they didn't do the work.
I have a friend with a PIWIS2 in La Jolla that will help me next weekend. my other choice is an Indy.
Installed a new steering module so I don't have the stalks for cruise control and the MFD working also the PSM is faulted due to the steering angle sensor not programmed.Suspension seems to be stuck in sports mode perhaps due to the angle sensor?.
You were fortunate to find a used module and save this headache.
Thanks again for all the part numbers and documentation Who needs a 992 :).
On mine, the PSM shows a fault each time I disconnect the battery but goes away after a short drive. I guess I got lucky as I didn't have to calibrate my steering angle sensor and it seems okay.
No idea about being stuck in sports mode and how it's even related to the steering angle or module, haven't read anyone else with that issue. I supposed the module you got is brand new and has no previous program which explains why the cruise control isn't working. I guess I did get lucky then as the donor car was pre-programmed except for the multifunction.
I suspect it's all related to steering angle as the active suspension has to know where the car is going to firm up that corner.Since it was working fine before now the sport button is affected.
Your right the PSM will always clear after a short drive. Could not locate a used module in Paul li's guide.
Tried playing with the Durametric Pro but won't code the steering module what a useless tool for the price.
I was able to turn off all the chimes and daytime running lights. then disable the PCM,XM,changer and NAV that I removed with the aftermarket radio. There's no need to see them listed on the MFD.

Saved about 15 pounds!
Great job! Nice addition to an older car. Those triangle wheels were downright ugly in my opinion.
I totally agree, thank you!
Hello Jim. What year is the old clock spring versus the new clock spring? I am interested in making a swap in my Cayenne. Also do u think it was the module alone that made it work or a combination of the updated clock spring an module?
I swapped out the steering column module from the 997.1 (2007-2009?) to 997.2 gen (2010-2012?) as it didn't support the multi function controls of the 991 steering wheel. The clock spring should be the same but I'm not familiar with doing steering swap on a Cayenne. You might want to contact gpsadapter.us if you have questions on getting multi function control to work on the steering wheel. I think the only time the clock spring might be different if you're trying to install a heated steering wheel and your old one didn't have it.
Jim Wong I received the new airbag but the airbag has more cables on the new harness. I would like to send you some pics to show you.
What colors are the connectors? Do the colors match between the plugs and airbag connectors? There should only be 2 locking style connectors for the airbag and maybe a wire for the horn. If you have the correct airbag for the wheel, it should be plug and play.
Can you provide a link as to where you got it? It sounds like the other connectors are for the multifunction and paddle shifter feature which you may not need.
@@atm4jim I think you are right. See pics here: rennlist.com/forums/997-turbo-forum/733311-997-1-to-997-2-steering-wheel-swap-done-11.html
If that is the case, do i need a new harness or just disregard the other connectors?
I have a 997.1 2008 C2 with TIP and just want to use a Macan Wheel plain with just the paddle shifters. (No Heating or multifuntion as the car never had those options) Can I get away without any adapters? The porsche and GPS adapters plus programming would add close to $1000 to this project.
You will not need the gps adapter but you will most likely need the updated module (part# 997.613.289.01) and programming for the paddle shifters to work. I also read a few people needing it (module and programming) for the horn to work.
@@atm4jim Thank you
I have a 997.2 that has pdk and multi-function steering wheel. I purchased a 991.2 wheel and the multi-function doesnt work. Is there another place where I can buy that box to make it work. I checked one of the links you had listed and it was like $700. Currently I removed the multi-function parts and would like to re-install in the future but $700 seems steep to just turn my volume up and down.
I don't know of another adapter. We are lucky someone reversed engineer the Porsche protocol to made it work. There was a group buy, no affiliation, cyphervehicledesign.com/collections/porsche-parts/products/stmv1-stmv1-h
Hi, do you know how to install the new steering module?
I’ve done this in Sand Beige about a year ago. Love it except I used the non multifunctional button black inserts. Your part number for the manual shroud is incorrect. Could you provide the correct one?
I just checked again, it's correct for manual transmission, no cutout. The picture on the parts diagram shows a cutout incorrectly. They must use the same photo for both parts.
Jim Wong thanks for going the extra mile and checking. You were right the photo threw me off as it had a photo of the cutouts. If you’re 100% sure, I’ll go ahead and order. Wish I could post a photo of my solution. I did a fair job but you one up’d me. Nice work finding the manual shroud and thank you!
Can also confirm it's the right part number.
Jay Persaud thank you! I’m going to place my order. I’m having the 991.2 Macan wheel wrapped in Sand Beige as opposed to Luxor Beige as the Luxor is slightly lighter and driving me nuts. The 991.2 wheel sure looks wonderful in a 997.2 cockpit!
Jason Schmidt exactly what I needed. Please post some Pictures. Thanks
Jim,
Thank you for posting this video. I am so glad i ran into it. I have a 997.1 manual. I do NOT have MF and do not care for MF. In this case, do i need the steering wheel and the new air bag from a 2016 or newer Macan? I could get the blank inserts from Suncoast along with the shroud part#: 95B419798B5Q0. Is there anything else that i need besides this? I understand he horn might not work until i have the dealer recode my current module to a MF. (From my understanding, this coding allows the power to the horn)
Sounds like you're all set, just a new Macan wheel and appropriate airbag, wheels from other models should also work (most should work except newest 971 Panamera which has different wiring connector). As you stated, the horn may require coding at the dealer to work. In my case, it just worked after the wheel swap. It appears perhaps Porsche changed the way the horn is activated from simple ground wire to LIN BUS in later production, just my guess. Just remember to disconnect the battery (do not turn on ignition without the airbag) during the install so you don't get an airbag warning light.
@@atm4jim
Jim,
Thank you for your response. Did you have MF on your car before you started this entire project? What year production is your car? Also, the tool you used to program the MF capability, what tool did you use? I have the Pro model Durametric but that does not allow me to program the MF option. I am asking just in case my dealer will have a problem coding the MF to my 997.
@@John-fv3bz Yes, on the old wheel. But to get the MF to work on the new wheel, I had to upgrade the steering control module, get the gpsadapter and enable the feature (PIWIS or similar tool). Swapping the module may also require calibrating the steering angle sensor. I was fortunate and bought a used module which made it an easy swap and I was able to program it using a Foxconn NT-520 tool I had and I didn't need to re-calibrate the SAS.
@@atm4jim did you mean Foxwell NT-520?? I can't find a Foxconn NT-520.
Thank you.
@@John-fv3bz Yes
What's the average cost for the total swap? I have a 2007 cayman .1 I want to do steering wheel swap
You can probably buy a used wheel like I did on eBay for about $600 to $1K. It will depend whether you have a manual or Tip and if you care to have the multi function buttons to work because this will require new center console module, gpsadapter and programming at a dealer or similar.
I have a 2013 panamera iam thinking of changing the steering wheel.
hi Jim, I'm thinking of doing a similar swap for a 14' Cayenne GTS as the "Macan" steeringwheel is just gorgeous . how's the gpsadapter? is it working reliably all the time?
I'm happy with the gpsadapter. I do notice the station up/down knob control isn't consistent in responsiveness. I don't think it's the adapter fault but the older PCM slower sampling rate or slower CPU if that makes sense.
Hi Jim, thank you for this video! Did you by chance purchase the steering wheel with the heated function? And if so, does it work in your car? Thanks!
No heat, but I believe you do need a hard special clock spring adapter that supports it and may need additional wires to the steering column for the heat to work. Thanks.
Unless you car came with heated wheel already, found this post in 6Speed - www.6speedonline.com/forums/997/275637-997-2-heated-wheel-conversion.html
Do you have any idea if this is a plug and play for a 997.2? i was thinking of upgrading to the same 991.2 wheel
The 997.2 should already have the required steering column module but will probably need programming at the Dealer with PIWIS to enable paddle shifters on Tiptronic or multifunction to work (will also need gpsadapter). If your car is a manual and don't need the multifunction feature, then it should be plug and play, just the new wheel and airbag.
Does it work also with the 997.1 automatíc?
Yes, but if you want the paddle shifters to work, it requires the updated steering control module part# 997.613.289.01 and programming by dealer/shop with PIWIS or similar. The paddle shifters on these newer wheels are awesome. I almost left mine even though my car is a manual.
Big thanks, great job!
Jim, did you need to install any additional control units for your multifunction controls to work with the aftermarket head unit? Like a Paser or something?
Well you do need a MOST adapter in order for the aftermarket unit to work with the factory Bose system and the aftermarket head unit has the multifunction wire connected to the MOST adapter. This is because the factory Bose system uses a fiber optic system. This (MOST H.U.R.) adapter is pricey but you can probably find cheaper alternatives nowadays. But I didn't use or need any other adapters like iDatalink Maestro steering wheel adapter, etc.
@@atm4jim My 987.2 Cayman has a basic (non-Bose) system. So I didn’t need any adapters to make my Kenwood work. I am wondering in your case, what enables the steering wheel multifunction commands control your Kenwood unit.
@@alexduhon1589 My Kenwood aftermarket head unit has a steering wheel multifunction output wire which connects to my H.U.R. MOST adapter. The 991 steering wheel also requires the STMV1 adapter from gpsadapter.us. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the non Bose setup though I imagine it would be simpler than with it.
@@atm4jim Thanks
Which version your fox well tool is? NT530? Thanks
Found the answer listening your speech: 520
It's NT520. I got it a year ago.
@@atm4jim thanks for answering: it could be used to code multifunction if it wasn't available before the steering swap, right?
@@nicetime74 Yes, it worked for me, though totally unexpected as I was prepared to have to go to the shop/dealer with a PIWIS. Also, keep in mind, you may need to re-calibrate your steering angle sensor especially if your swapping to a new center module.
Here's the step I used - From the start, select Porsche > Your car's model > Programming > Steering Col. Switch > Customer specific settings > Multifunction or Sport/Launch Display > Edit > input today's date (I left default value) > Finish > Installed > Save/Continue/Finish.
In the Steering Col Switch settings, there are selections to edit rear wiper/washer, PDK/Tiptronic, speed control system (cruise control?), push to talk (???), headlight washing system, etc though I didn't have to change these.
Also, you will need 997.613.289.01 module and adapter from gpsadapter.us
Jim .. very good job! .. I need your guide for a steering wheel adaptation for a boxster 981 ... install the steering wheel but the radio commands don't work for me ... can you give me some email or number to locate you? ..
What is the part number the last digit isn’t that clear?
Which part are you referring to?
Jim Wong the shroud for the steering wheel I have also got a new steering wheel of that style with paddles.
95B-419-798-B-5Q0, got mine from Sunset Porsche, $50 plus shipping, the product photo is misleading as it shows it with the cutout for the paddle shifters. They had to special order from Germany which took a couple of weeks.
Jim Wong perfect thanks I’ll get my local dealer onto it
Hi Jim, are you happy with your foxel NT520`?
Yes, exceeded my expectations especially for the price. But it is not able to reset the oil maintenance, fortunately I already have something that can (iCarsoft Por II).
Perfect :)
I'm looking to purchase a 997.1. I suppose you're very happy with the 997.1 ?
My is either a 997.1 Turbo or 991.1 C2S.
What do you think?
@@danielgrand3077 Two very different cars, the 991 being more modern and 997 more analog, I don't have experience on the 991 so I can't say. I suggest test driving them. I'm also biased towards the turbo models, love the styling with the wide rear fenders with the air vents for the intercoolers. Upgrading to get more horsepower is also easy with just a tune and exhaust.
I have the NT530 and trying to enable the multifunction in a 718 Cayman but the option to enable the multifunction is not that easy. It's a 16 digit hexidecimal setting. I 'm not sure what this setting should be to be enabled. On your NT520 is the setting just "enabled" and "not enabled"? Can you show how you enabled it in the NT520? Thanks in advance for your help!
@@pht0001 I don't know what the 16 digits setting is about, on mine, I just followed this thread on Rennlist, bottom page - rennlist.com/forums/997-turbo-forum/733311-997-1-to-997-2-steering-wheel-swap-done-13.html
I’m very happy that the steering wheel finally works! But did the car come with an aftermarket radio when you got it?
Thanks, Yes, which also has the MOST HUR adapter to work with the factory Bose system.
Wow Great job! Can you do mine?
Thanks. It's not hard to DIY especially if you don't need to swap out the center column module if your car is a manual transmission and don't care for the multi-function/illumination. It's also a lot less expensive than before due to the availability of used Macan steering wheels.
Thanks Jim, I loved what you have done far and all your videos. I’m actually waiting for the spacer, Agency power headers and Ti exhaust and I liked your turbo diverter diaphragm but I chose the GFB diverter from Australia we’ll see, and a few more but I really loved that steering wheel. Like to see more and learn from you, I’m from the bay as well (San Jose)
Great videos on this mod Jim! I just picked up a 2016 Macan Turbo steering wheel and also a used steering column module for my manual transmission 997.1TT. Now I'm working on an airbag for the steering wheel - do you happen to have the part number for the one you used? I found one on eBay and it has part number 95B880201M5Q0, but I’m trying to figure out how to verify it will work.
A quick way to check is the color of the 2 air bag connectors, it should match the 2 plugs of the steering wheel, tan and yellow. Also the airbag should have a silver round trim.
