Default Sport Design Steering Wheel Question

Does anyone know if the Sport Design Steering Wheel from a 2015 911 Turbo PDK will fit a 2013 991 PDK base car? I believe the wheel itself is a bit thicker and thought everything else is the same but not certain. I would appreciate any help.

It'll fit. If you don't have multi-function on your steering wheel, it'll be a direct swap but if you have a multi-functions, it's a different story.

I had very first launch edition 991.1 C2S with dumb push/pull button PDK steering wheel and changed to sport design PDK steering wheel and it worked fine. So as long as you have base PDK steering wheel + dash screen control **** on the steering wheel column, it'll be easy swap. I think it's must have upgrade to really enjoy the car. Go for it!

What happens if you do have the mult-function steering wheel? is there anything you can do?

If you have .1 multi-function wheel, it's a lot more work to replace with .1 Sport Design wheel since you have to add dash screen control arm/ on the steering wheel column.
In that case, getting .2 multi-function wheel would be be better direction to take.

Is it possible to put the 991.2 or Macan wheel with the multi-function dials etc on instead?

Yes! This absolutely is possible and I have a Macan multifunction wheel that I previously had in my Base 981 Cayman and moved to my new-to-me 991.1 C2S.

I got a Macan wheel and airbag off of ebay, and an adapter from gpsadapter.us. It works great, all the buttons work perfectly as intended, and the paddle shifters work! so much better than the dumb slidey buttons.

Thats fantastic. Have you got a photo? Who did it for you? I would love to do that to my 991. I'm in Melbourne hopefully I could find someone to do it. I'm not smart enough to do that.

Here is my car! I did the swap myself, it took all of maybe 20-30 min (including getting all the tools together, disconnecting the battery, etc). I originally did the swap in my 981 a few years ago. When I went to sell my 981, I put the stock wheel back in, and just popped this guy in my new car before a recent mountain drive - the paddles were super useful compared to the silly slidey buttons.

For .1 models, it's much easier to find better deals on new steering wheel since drive select **** is not required. Looking good!

That photo looks amazing!
My 991.1 including the steering is agate grey, is it even possible getting the steering and the air bag in that color ?!

That is amazing, looks fantastic. The link you sent for the adapter is great too. I will look on ebay for a Macan steering wheel.

The big problem for me is going to be trying to find someone to do it. I'm based in Melbourne. Help anyone???

It's wonderful! There are a number of other threads on Rennlist about this swap too.

What is the dimension of the new wheel? is it smaller than your original 991 MF wheel and is the visibility and everything OK? Do you need to buy a rear cover or anything like that? I've found a couple of wheels on ebay with the module included. It seems like a choice between standard and a GT with the only difference being the size.
