Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Is there a way i can buy the multifunction buttons and put it on my std steering wheel?

POST 2Original post

I highly doubt it. I really wish Porsche had made a Sport Steering wheel with the multifunction buttons. I would have definitely ordered it. I just don't like the non-sport steering wheel.

POST 3Original post

In a word - no. You may not even be able to swap steering wheels to one with the buttons on it - the wiring might not be in the steering column to hook up the buttons on the multi-function wheel. Each car is built with a custom wiring harness. Ask the service people at your dealer. brad

POST 4Original post

If you have the std steering wheel, you can purchase the new wheel rim and use the same airbag and the dealer can retrofit it. I think there is actually someone on this forum that's done it, but I suggest you talk to our sponsor Suncoast and ask them their price; and also look at the prices on ebay as I've seen some carbon fiber and aluminum wheels with buttons go on there for good prices. - SS

hsjb, I agree! That is disappointing. Hopefully in the future they will find a way. Russ

POST 6Original post

Not one to dig up old threads but i've been looking into this. From what i can tell, its not a problem to install the switch module into the standard or sport wheels. All that is required, assuming you have the standard blanking covers, is the control module, harness and switches. You may have noticed that manual cars are able to have the MF steering wheel so that means the harness is the same. I have found that the following parts are required for this to work: - 997 613 445 02 - Control unit - £120 997 612 673 00 - Harness - £57 997 613 433 02 - Switch, non tip (Left) - £145 997 613 434 02 - Switch, non tip (Right) - £145 The control module fits underneath the airbag mounting plate, the harness connects it all up between the switch modules and steering column and then you use the PIWIS to reprogram the CU. I can't see a legit reason why this was not an option on the sports wheel, but if there was a question why this might not work, i'd put it down to the depth of the standard wheel to the sports wheel and the CU not fitting. I am still in the process of finalising this but if anyone has any pics of the harness behind the airbag module in-situ then i'd be obliged for a copy. Regards Popolou
