Hi, I have a 987.1 S and I’ve fitted a 981 steering wheel with no buttons on it, the airbag light is off but the horn doesn’t work.

The CDR24 stock headunit can't use the buttons apparently.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just thought I'd post about a little lockdown project I've done.
Got annoyed using one of the clip on aftermarket stereo remotes, and an IR repeater on the awful triangle style steering wheel.
Took a lot more effort than I expected. And several attempts when things wouldn't work.
Sourced a manual, multifunction wheel from a later 997.
Airbag from a Panamera.
Steering wheel control module from a 997.2 911 (when the 997.1 version doesn't speak to later steering wheels)
Connects2 uni-swc.5 (to connect the aftermarket headunit to the CAN-bus).
All programmed via a Foxwell 510 Elite.
EBay for the wheel, and a Qld breaker for the airbag.
If you don't need buttons, you'll not need the new control module, but you will need coding or the horn doesn't work.
Had been toying with the idea of a similar swap on mine, but will pass on it for now (not sure I'd get the bang-for-buck out of it, as I'm not handy enough to do it myself!)
...and the Porsche Centre I spoke to said it wasn't doable, as all the required wiring wouldn't be there (or something like that, and I never got around to doing a ring around for a 2nd opinion).
So, in theory, once I have a new wheel with buttons (and compatible airbag), I'd only need a steering wheel control module as well, and the means to program it? Or will I also need something else to hook up to the head unit? (have the BOSE in mine, so it runs on MOST, but have a new head unit on order...)
You need a 2008/9 module, which you should have with a 987.2. If you want a 991/992 wheel you need a module AND a dongle from GPSadaptors.
The CDR24 stock headunit can't use the buttons apparently.
I added a Connects2 uni-swc.5, to do the CAN-bus to Headunit comms.

e will that allow me to code it so the horn will work?
It worked
👍🏼
I’m over the moon, I tried OPC and they wouldn’t do it, I also tried a few independent specialists who also couldn’t do it so I did it myself, great feeling. Thanks for the advice, the Foxwell 510 Elite is a great bit of kit at a reasonable price.

Hi Bibbs,
I am currently working on a similar upgrade and found your post very helpful. However, I am a bit confused about which part number of the steering wheel control module is the correct one. From the photos, it’s not entirely clear which module is the new one you are using and which is the old one.
I have just ordered part number 997.613.289.01, and I hope this is the correct one. If you could kindly confirm whether this is the right choice, I would greatly appreciate it.
Greetings from Slovakia, Soram
I think 291 was the original, 289 was the latter one, that started talking to my new wheel.
I listed all the part numbers in this thread.
