Can you please provide the part numbers and costs for the clock spring and controller? Also where did you source them?

 

eurotom:

Sorry for the delayed response; I have been offline.

The necessary parts are:

Clockspring - 955-652-211-22
Controller - 997-613-299-02

These parts are for replacing a non-heated multifunction steering wheel with a heated multifunction steering wheel in a 2012 GTS, but I believe they will work for a 997 or a 997S as well, provided it has a manual transmission and heated seats. I don't know what model years these parts will fit other than 2012, but it seems reasonably likely that they will fit most or all recent 997.2 production.

I did not install these parts myself, partly because of confusion and differing advice regarding which parts were correct. My dealer did the work, and the prices were $96.36 for the clockspring and $343.56 for the controller. That at least gives you a ballpark idea of the cost, and a point of comparison for an online search.

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you I'll run it by my dealer.

means he subscribed to thread, to follow it.

one question, do you really need the clockspring?
i think the importance of the new control module is that it allows you to use the horn which is a different mechanism.

 

Of course. Subscribed. Thanks! I'm still a relative newbie.

Yes, the new clockspring is necessary, according to my (dealership) mechanic. I don't know why. The mechanic didn't think a new controller would be needed, but, if I remember it correctly, there was no provision to connect all of the leads from the new heated steering wheel to the OEM controller. There was, I think, one lead "left over" with no place to plug it in once everything else was connected. At least that is what I recall.

Happy to hear your install went so well. Mine not so well to date. A few months back tried swapping in a multi-function wheel with heated wheel on my 2011 C4S, manual w/heated seats. Bought the exact same parts you did, part numbers on mine and yours are identical. My dealer was able to activate all features other than the heated wheel. Said he kept coming up with an error code that would not allow activation of the heated feature. I think the dealer has tried but I also feel the dealer has more or less convinced itself that for whatever reason a 2011 997.2 can't do the heated wheel/MF swap even though at the time we tried it there was clearly examples out there where it worked on earlier year 997.2's.

Your conversion is the first I've seen where the swap occurred with a newer model year than mine and may inspire my dealer to try a bit harder at getting this heated feature to work. Could you give me the name of the dealer and ideally the tech who did your work? Perhaps I can get me dealer's tech to communicate with him directly. Open to any other suggestion you might have. Thanks in advance and congrats on the successful install!

 

i replaced a heated pdk wheel with a heated pdk wheel with multifunction. I just bought the wheel and fitted that - thought all i needed to do know for a 997 gen 2 car was to activate the software?

Do i infact need new parts as well?

 

Joel,

Can you share how you got the heated part of the steering wheel to work (ie what activates the heat)? I have a 997.1 MF (non heated) wheel and willl be going to a .2 CF wheel that has the heated function and am curious if I can get it to work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I am curious if anybody knows this answer as well trying to finish up this project?

 

Anybody?
