997.1 Pdk steering wheel upgrade
#31
Nice steering wheel swap.
Seeing as a few of you guys have done the swap I would like your help.
I have a 09 997 GT2 in the United Arab Emirates.
The steering wheel I want to put is from the Cayman GT4.. I know that it fits perfectly however the Porsche dealer here are afraid that the airbag won't work.
What do I have to do to get it to work?
Do I need to buy the airbag from the cayman gt4 ? & I'm confused as to which steering wheel module I would have to get.
I'd appreciate if I can get some guidance!

Just needs to be programmed through pwis. But pretty much otherwise.

fyi, the 991.2 MF can now be made to work on a 997 via lin-bus adapter. 997.2 steering module has to be installed on the 997.1 cars however.
the videos and feedback from the person who designed it can be found on the Facebook 997 retrofit forum.

If you know it fits you should have them try it. So what I've learned through my research is that it all depends on how good the tech is using the pwis. I went to one dealer who swore it couldn't be done but obviously it can be. I'm not sure as to the module, however if it's a 2009 I think that it may be plug and play. They just have to be willing to try and program if necessary.

I think my airbag has been modified or a different cover has been put on it. I am trying to find the pics of the airbag before I sent it out to be wrapped. The sticker is not on the airbag and I think it was before I sent it off. The airbag does not fit well. The wheel and module install I did and went very well.

I think the problem is the leather on your airbag went around the cover.

the airbag should be more flush...
i have seen plastic air bag covers being sold on eBay, so there may have been a some funny stuff going on?
where did you get that wheel? the work on it and flat bottom looks great.
great progress btw.

I’ve install the PDK steering wheel on my 2007 turbo in summer 2015 . Steering wheel, airbag and module for the wheel-99761328901. My car had a Tip. sport steering wheel without multi-function controls.
It was plug and play, everything was working right after the installation from the start of the engine, no programing was necessary in my case. There is a “sport” sing on the left side of my steering wheel when I activate “sport mode” as well No errors on dashboard and the horn is working without any issues.

I did this mod and the horn doesn't work. I bought pdk steering wheel and the appropriate airbag. Tech at indie can't get the horn to work. Everything else works, paddles, "sport" sign etc. Horn is only thing that doesn. It is piwis coded as multi function. Are there specific wheel and airbag combinations I need to consider?? Thanks.
i think the indi needs to figure it out by calling a friend.
