I've upgraded steering wheels in many vehicles. I've mostly kept to OEM upgraded parts (so not aftermarket wheels), but I have done a few re-wrapped OEM wheels too. Since you interact with the steering wheel 100% of the time when driving, I think it's THE best mod you can do if you have an older uninspiring steering wheel. It's also a very easy upgrade to do yourself.

No, that would’ve been awesome tho! It might have if I would’ve tried using the multifunction.

Bro mine is the same wheel but I have the paddle shifter pdk.. so will the new wheel I am buying with paddles automatically work on new wheel? Or module needed. To be clear it doesn’t have MF options as I don’t want them

Terrific video. Steering wheel looks fantastic. Massive upgrade. I’m thinking of doing the same thing to my 991.1. I’ve got the basic steering wheel and have never like the look or feel. Just a question for you. My car is manual as well and most of the wheels I’m finding online have paddle shifters like yours. Did you ever end up finding a replacement back cover piece? Or did you just keep it with the mod you built? I’m not confident enough in my ability to build something to fill the gaps, so would prefer to change out the trim piece. Thanks, and thanks for posting links for all the tools needed as well.

My solution was very easy. I took a red bull can and cut some squares out and turned them inside out. I used HVAC tape to hold them in place. I know it sounds crazy but it looks pretty damn close to the rest of the trim. When the steering wheel is in place you really can’t see back there anyway. I was actually trying to film it the other day for a update video I recorded and it wasn’t easy to get a camera back there.

@@KRTLyfe I like it! Ingenious simple solution. I think I'll do the same as I haven't been able to find the cover for purchase. Now I just have to find a reasonably priced steering wheel to justify the mod. Thanks again!

@@KRTLyfe Ahhh yes, I just found it and I did find one or two of those used online but call me picky, the color is a bit lighter looking. I was thinking I could always get someone to match the leather but then that center piece for the air bag might be hard to alter the colors. I'll find a way eventually, you've sparked and idea.

my comment: so stupid! what you didnt show: what happened after 20:17 ? so you need one week to solve all problems with the new airbag. what happened after you reconnect the batterie? and how can you post this video? and how can you handle a airbag without protection( and show it!!!!)? if you touch the contact with bare hands it blows because of your bodyelectricity.

KRT LYFE oops! Just seen your updated video & realised I was a bit late. If you do plan on getting another P car, I can recommend a 718 Boxster or Cayman. I had one as a loan car for a few days & loved every minute of it. If you do decide you need the 4WD, I'm sure the 991/992 would make a great choice! If all else fails, the sensible choice is a Macan. More practical & drives as well as any hot hatch. 👍

I have a Porsche 997.1 that has been completely rebuilt to a GT3 3.8 engine. I watched your video and decided to upgrade my steering wheel. My car is a trip tonic. I purchased a PDK 991 steering wheel off a Macan 2017 I took it to my mechanic which is not a Porsche specialist to have it installed. It fit perfectly and bolted up but the PDK Paddle shifters do not work. I thought it would be plug and play but three paddle shifters are not working. Is there anything you could recommend. I have spoken to another Porsche shop but they have no idea how to do this. Am I missing something

There is a lot of information pertaining to this exact thing on many of the Porsche Forums. I recommend doing your due diligence in finding specific information for your application. I do remember during the research phase of my experience , reading something about using DURAMETRIC to “turn on” certain features. I also remember reading that for certain functions to work you need a electronic adapter device. I don’t recall the exact terminology for the adapter but I’m sure you will be able to find the information you need on the P car forums. I didn’t have those features so I didn’t commit that information to permanent memory. Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!

Oh man! Followed your lead here and got the wheel installed only to find out my harness from the 997.1 doesn't snap into the macan airbag. It looks slightly different than the one you have in your car. Did you see anything about swapping out the harness to connect it to the airbag?

No, mine was plug and play. I didn’t have to remove swap or change any wiring. Those airbag plugs are color coded and can only fit in one orientation from what I recall.

Hey, awesome video. Thank you for the detail. I am about to do a similar upgrade on my 987 cayman.

Did you have any airbag light warnining light? Thank you

Sivasuss from what I read prior to doing this modification everything should be plug and play. I had to reset my airbag light because I turned my car on with out the air bag being connected. If you don’t do that you shouldn’t get an airbag light. If you do, you can easily reset it with Icarsoft.
