That is a different wheel that you installed on your car. The op likes the Sport Design steering wheel which it is just a plug and play, he can even go with a multifunction wheel if he chooses, he will just have to buy the triangle airbag.

the old wheel is thin plastic, is uglier than the bastard son of Gerard de Pardieu.
Just an FYI, it is not real aluminum but aluminum looking plastic.

+1 It is plug and play unless you add functionality. For my swap I had MF which required a 200.00 control module from a 997.2

I ve done it in 6 cars in greece....5 tip and one manual....for tip cars you need an ecu of steering column but not a new one from porsche...it is a litlle complicated....for manual you need wheel airbag and harness modification to operate the horn properly...if you need any further info pm me...

Due to popular demand we are updating this post, thanks to all of you who consider Suncoastparts.com your main Porsche parts source.

First thing to do when planning to update your 997.1/987.1 steering wheel to a paddle style steering wheel is to find a shop that will be able to perform the install. Sounds simple, but many Porsche dealers will not try this upgrade because it is not authorized by Porsche. This forum might be the a great source to find the right shop who will perform the work.

After you find the right shop, you will need the following items: new steering wheel, airbag and often times a steering column control unit.

The control unit is here:

Note: Control unit, steering wheel and airbag must be programmed by a Porsche dealer with a PIWIS Tester.

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product..._Code=987c2pdk

airbag is:

and the steering wheel is:

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product..._Code=987c2pdk

-Do you have an 07-08 Turbo? (https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...nic-turbo.html)

-09 TT from what we have read works Post # 4 https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...l-997-1-a.html

-Install Guide on an 09 C4S https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-2009-c4s.html

-You will lose Multifunction

-MT Sport Steering wheel (no paddles) much easier install over tiptronic https://www.suncoastparts.com/product//480GTSL.html

-Control module is for the horn to work technician must upload info from old module and download to new module with PIWIS Tester

-May be able to switch a setting to "Multifunction" and bypass the new control module purchase (not tested)


Because this is not an authorize Porsche modification there isn't an install guide and the items are non-returnable so please do your own research before purchasing the items.

If you would like to go ahead with the order, click on the links above and add them to your shopping cart, online ordering is the best way to process orders.

Hi I have done the swap from multifunction triangle airbag wheel to a sport design wheel on a manual 997.1 but the horn does not work. Could you tell me what the wiring harness mod is please?
