Affordable Porsche Wheel UPGRADE | Installation DIY
Рет қаралды 18,751
8 ай бұрынOne of the best ways to upgrade the interior of your Porsche is with a new steering wheel. It's also the most tactile connection we have to our cars, so it makes a huge difference to the driving experience.
I've just installed a 982/992-style steering wheel to my 981 Boxster, courtesy of Porsche Master, and I LOVE it. To get yours, go to www.porschemaster.com/. At the time of publishing, the wheels are compatible with the 997, 991, 987, 981, 718, Macan, Panamera, and Cayenne Porsche models.

I have a 987.2 Cayman and have the standard wheel with no buttons. Whilst I live and deal with it, not letting it ruin my enjoyment, I would be lying if I said having buttons on the wheel wouldn't be a nice convenience. So whether it's this wheel or my same wheel but with the buttons, i'm not sure yet, but it will happen at some point. Looks absolutely excellent on your Boxster though, and the tutorial showing how to put it on is very helpful! Keep up the great content!

Suspension, tyres, and the steering wheel have always been the things I’m quickest to update on a car - going right back to my Holden Gemini in 1986 - because they control how connected you feel with the car and the road. The buttons are definitely convenient, but the look and feel of the new wheel is really special.

That’s very good of William. I’m not a mechanic, so I can’t offer any advice beyond my own experience. However, the first code reader I connected didn’t allow me to clear codes on my car, so I gave it to my brother in law and bought a different one, which did work. It was the Foxwell NT510 Elite: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Z5JS7B9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I don’t recall what error my scanner described, but once I cleared the error, the dashboard light went out, and it never returned.

How does it compare to OEM considering this is not a genuine Porsche product? Is there fit and finish issues that make it obvious that it is aftermarket like the colors not matching or the leather being fake or poorer quality or anything? Did the airbag light come on because it wasn't a genuine Porsche airbag or something? Did you get that sorted out?
@peterfritzphoto 3 ай бұрын
It feels genuine. The airbag light comes on when you disconnect the existing one. I simply reset it with a code reader after installing the new one.

@@peterfritzphoto I got this steering wheel. The airbag seems genuine, and the leather on it seems genuine (butter soft; I was expecting the steering wheel airbag to be the textured, cheaper, non-leather surface), but the steering wheel "leather" is definitely faux leather. The metal plastic looks just a bit shinier, more like a chrome plastic than a polished aluminum plastic (just a little bit). The plastic bezel has finishing spots from the mold that mess of the lines/finish. The buttons feel okay, but they push in with a cheaper feel and less bounce-back like on an economy car. It is subtle, but all these things were noticeable to my OCD. This is a cheaper option, but I will end up selling the steering wheel, keeping the airbag, and I found a used 991.2 steering wheel that was practically flawless. The second I got it, the genuine leather was butter smooth, and the plastic materials just felt tight and solid with a more premium feel and function. This is a good, aftermarket, budget option that gets 90% there, minus the vegan leather, but it wasn't for me.

@@jirace Fair enough. I tried for a while to buy a genuine wheel, but they were $3k+, so I went looking elsewhere, and that’s when I found Porsche Master.

@@peterfritzphoto Unfortunately iCarSoft unit was unable to clear the airbag light. I don't know if it was a problem with the airbag, iCarSoft or what. It goes through the process of clearing the code, and it says the code was cleared, but the light doesn't turn off. I used the GPSadapter from a Sport Design to a 982/991.2 multifunction steering wheel, and all the buttons work, except the joker button, but it is just odd that I can't clear the airbag with the iCarSoft unit, even though it has the function. What code reader did you use?

Hi Peter, great vid. Do you know if William is still in business? I just sent email to the address given on his site, and it immediately bounced back as "address not found."
@peterfritzphoto 6 ай бұрын
I can’t see why not. We talked only a week ago. I also sent an email to RennmeisterLLC@gmail.com and didn’t get a bounce back - at least not in the first 5 minutes.

That is because the website link is wrong. Type the address Peter gives below directly into the TO field of your client and you will get a fast response (time zones permitting).

@@peterfritzphotoThanks! Yeah, I've been able to connect with him on instagram, actually. So far so good. Are the wheels and airbags that he sells OEM? I'm OK if they're not, I guess, but I'd like to know what I'm buying...in case the airbag detonates in my face and then someone says "where did you get it from?" and I say "some guy online" ha
