Porsche Steering Wheel & Airbag - DIY SWAP - 911/Cayman/Boxster/Cayenne/Macan/Panamera
Рет қаралды 16,026
Күн бұрынIt's really easy to update the look of your Porsche's interior with a new steering wheel. In this video I'm installing a 911 GTS style wheel from a 991.1 into my 958 Cayenne, replacing the factory 'boomerang' tipronic wheel.
*SPECIAL NOTE: MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FOR AT LEAST 20 MINS BEFORE STARTING THIS DIY*
No matter what model Porsche you have from around 2006 onwards, the procedure is virtually the same. It's fun for example to see 991.2 steering wheels appearing in the 991.1, 997 or even 996 generation 911s. The cross-compatibility doesn't stop there though, because many steering wheels are also interchangeable across model types: 911s, Boxster/Caymans, Macans, Cayennes and Panameras. There are a few things to look out for in terms of matching up your options (leather color, heated wheels, multi-function buttons, sports chrono functions, etc) but that's for another video. In this video we're just walking through how to safely remove the airbag, swap the wheel and put everything back together again.

Uh oh…… Edit: It actually worked this time. Good deal. I’m actually not a fan of that wheel. I know everybody loves it, it’s a popular swap but not me. I’d rather have the newer style Macan/GT3 wheel. One day! Anyway, congrats on the successful install.

Had this done on my 991.1. Much nicer wheel, paddles are sooo much better. They also added the little multi function stick which I was familiar with from older Porsches and way better to use on the move.

Another great vid. I’ve just got a 997.2 C2S PDK. It has the (boomerang) wheel which I don’t mind the slightly retro styling. I think it looks better in silver than black and mine has also been wrapped in alcantara. I do hate the shift buttons though and found myself changing down on the right and the revs going mad. It’s easier if you concentrate on 1 hand only I suppose. I’ve actually started using the stick to change up and down and have got used to the backwards nature of that! Shifts in sport plus with the stick are lightning fast. I actually think I will miss the multifunction buttons as my Bmw has them which I’m used to. My wheel also has the heating which I have not used yet due to weather and time with the vehicle. I am looking forward to it though. I imagine the sports wheel paddles are miles better as my BMW has these style shifters. I’m not sure if I should go for it to lose so much else. Maybe a newer macan wheel? What you think James?

Great observation!! Right now I can't use the screen in the cluster to cycle through any of the menu options. For $150 I found the replacement clock spring assembly with the multi-function stalk / stick. It's on its way and I'll install that shortly. Thanks for the kind words!!

Good project, James. I swapped out my 997 wheel for a Momo a few years ago and have been wondering if, when the time comes that I want to put the stock wheel back in the car, will I remember how to do it? After seeing you do this swap, I remember now how things go together. No plans to go back yet, however! Thanks, man!
@TransparentMediaTruth Жыл бұрын
Funny. ..if I had to say I would have said the replacement was standard from the factory & what you already had was the upgrade. The replacement is my exact wheel...no frills... just the paddles ...& I do like it best this way... keeping it simple. Had no idea there was an "upgraded" wheel which I guess the original owner selected back in 2011 > I'm the 2nd Owner... bought in early 2017 with 67K on the odometer > albeit mine is a S so perhaps that wheel is standard on the S line.

I'm just the opposite. My 958.1 GTS came with the sport steering wheel and I want to swap it out to a multi-function mainly because I want it heated. I believe you lose heated steering when having the sport steering wheel or at least I don't have the heated option.
@AutoAmateur 11 ай бұрын
Yes that's right. I did have to sacrifice the heated steering wheel option, and the multi-function buttons.

Also, I'm in the market for a 991, and am wondering if I find the same situation as this vid...will it also be a straight swop or will I need to get and change the Steering Electronic Module for the PDK? Thx James da AirBag Murderer!!!😂😂😂😂
@AutoAmateur Жыл бұрын
Great questions! For any of the 991 generations and wheels, you don’t need to swap the modules. The only thing you might need to do is add the instrument cluster control stalk (which means replacing the clock spring and all of the stalks) if you did what I did which is to lose the MF controls from the original wheel. My new wheel doesn’t have any MF controls, so I needed the extra stalk to control the screen menus in the instrument cluster. If you’re putting a 991.2 wheel with the newer airbags into a 997.2 or earlier, you DO need to also change the steering wheel module if you want multifunction capabilities. But for basic airbag and horn functions you don’t. Hope this helps!!
