Ric,

Beautiful Sport Tips. Do they fit a 997.1?

 

how much are the paddle shift wheels?

 

I hate to put pricing in threads, because it always seems to change...

Here is a link to our website with the paddle wheel listed:

If you don't mind me asking, what other expenses are associated with the change of the wheel? It must be done by a Porsche dealer, I assume...

 

Can the manual version bolt directly on a 997.1 and use the sport airbag? Please let me know as soon as you can thanks!

 

Assuming you have a 997.2 then professional installation is recommended. If it is a 997.1 the install is a little more complicated.

We actually stopped selling the retrofit kit on our website because of a few install complications...

We can retrofit the manual GTS wheel to a 997.1. You will need the wheel, an airbag and also a steering column switch unit. That also must be installed by your local Porsche dealership.

Here is the GTS wheel: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product//480GTSL.html

Airbag:

The steering column switch you will need to contact us for, they typically run around $225-$250.

 

Please pm me the price on a 997.1 steering wheel with paddles! I didn't know they were compatible with tiptronic.

 

What sort of complications? I performed this retrofit on my '08 Cayman S manual without issue. '10 wheel, airbag, and switch. Curious as to what went wrong elsewhere. Switch programming issue?

 

It was mostly with the paddle steering wheel on a tiptronic car. The Turbos were not working and recently someone with a Cayman had an issue. Since we could not pinpoint which cars it would and would not work on we were not 100% confident with the retrofit.

On manual cars we have not had any issues, so I suppose we can still offer the upgrade. However, since the airbag is non returnable and if anything were to happen you have a very expensive leather paperweight.

If anything changes or we start listing the retrofit kits again I will certainly come back and update the thread.

 

Ryan, any further news on this. I'm currently looking for a 997 turbo and was not considering an auto/tip but would if I could fit the PDK wheel.

Its either going to be a manual or a PDK wheel mated to the tip gearbox. Let me know if there is any way I can check out the car to know if this is an option that will work.

I just changed my PDK 3 Spoke for a MF w Buttons.
Can I fit those paddles to my PDK MF SW?

 

I believe Tech Art makes a paddle to put on the standard PDK wheel. I have no previous experience with it, but I have seen a few posts on here about it.

 

Hi Ryan, I have 997.1 2008 tiptro with a multifunction steering wheel. I hate the buttons on the wheel and would love to change to the paddle wheel ( without the buttons ) could this work or would I have error messages.
