On some of the FB Porsche groups I’m in I’ve seen a lot of posts on lack of availability of the PSE. Hopefully it gets sorted as it’s one of the best sounding exhausts I’ve had on any car.

It’s a ridiculous cost tbh but if I ever sell the car I’d remove the wheel.

The sport wheel looks pretty decent to the multifunction mine came with, just really dated the interior.

Thanks mate, yes all working perfectly. The GPS adapter is a little fiddly if you have big hands otherwise not difficult and does what it says on the tin!

Did have the “I hope I haven’t triggered any dashlights” moment as I reconnected battery but all good. 

I can’t imagine the complexity of it on your car, makes my head hurt thinking about it 😂

Fitted my 718 GT Alcantara steering wheel 😊

With a bit of collaboration from Daz on airbags all in and good to go, really pleased. All of the multifunction buttons work perfectly as expected with the GPS Adapter box of tricks. 
 

The cost isn’t really justifiable but I hated the OEM wheel so much it had to be done.

I’ve got the same ones as per link above on ebay.

From the pictures you can barely tell it’s gold,   very subtle.   I’m thinking of doing something similar with my wheels, but I’d probably go with a slightly more obvious gold, maybe Aurum or similar (Blue car).

Out of interest, if you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay for your bumper respray? again I’m looking to do similar and would be useful having a price base. pM me if you don’t want to put on open forum.

Neodyme is a great colour, slight bronze hue compared to Aurum 

What you need to know is what the GPS Adapters box of tricks is doing I guess?

Thanks - and the airbag?

£260 from eBay as per last post, be careful though as I’m going to have to return this as it’s no good. Think I’m going to have to go new for piece of mind.

I picked mine up off eBay delivered for £260 - came from a 2017 Cayman. Wheel was brand new and got the GPS harness which you’ll need from China. All in its about £1750, not cheap but will make a huge difference to driving experience.

About to fit, hoping for it to be straight forward.. 🤞

I've finally tried this tonight but I don't think it's worth the hassle or the outlay if you have a sports design wheel. The multifunction controls don't work despite my best coding efforts and I'm not buying a £300 adapter 👎

Will maybe aim for a smaller diameter non MF pdk wheel instead.

 

 

I’ve bought the adapter which has arrived already. I will report back once all the bits have arrived albeit not expecting the wheel until after Christmas break now.

What diameter wheel have you got Daz, I’ve got the smaller 360mm GT wheel on order which is smaller than my multifunction OEM wheel. 
 

my understanding is that for my manual car with multifunction, along with the adapter harness is the wheel should be a plug and play affair - I’ll report back accordingly 👀

That's teetering on the edge of plausibility as it is. Hoping the DPD man leaves the airbag in my safe place ....

 

Are you going multifunction on the 718 wheel? I am so have the adapter harness coming from GPS Adapters, great to deal with.

I got round to assembling and fitting the side scoops today. A little bit fiddly and a bit cold for the tape but I got round it👍

I think they work well with the splitter and definitely look better in body colour (or as close as I could get to it 😂)

Overall quite a enjoyable little project, not too expensive and reversible if I change my mind.

Anyone thinking about fitting these I would recommend buying them already painted, buying some proper 10mm 3m vhb tape and be very careful removing your oem vents so you don’t lose any securing tabs😎

Looks great 👌

Long time dead, enjoy all your toys 👍

I’ve thrown caution to the wind and ordered a new 718 GT Steering wheel in Alcantara from Design911 😬

This used or new,?

Used 

Thanks, it’s from a Cayman and the 982 model denomination looks correct.

edit: quick google and looks fine https://parts.byersporsche.com/p/Porsche__718-Cayman/Steering-Wheel-Air-Bag/71958914/982880201D5Q0.html

Colours and material but you want a 95b one, the later one looks the same and almost is but sadly mounting points are different.

I’ve got 982 880 201 B 5Q0 in my basket - this not any good then?

Appreciate the help ☺️

Yep same here, the wheel I got is from the 911 but I think it's 375mm but airbag located and on its way!

It's a heated wheel so debating whether I should add it to the Cayenne instead and then add the Cayenne wheel to the 981.

👍 I definitely want the 360mm diameter wheel, seems to be loads of part numbers for airbags but not sure if there’s much difference?

I’d go ‘old school’ with silver wheels. Think black wheels is now done and silver will be making a come back, this comes from someone with black wheels currently.

If you didn't take enough pics for a how to, get out and dismantle it again

There’s an Australian guy on YT with a complete strip down of a 981 - easy to follow name is Jeff Richardson.

@Raffeis the Macan steering wheel any different?

I think they are the same but I want the 360mm GT wheel rather than the standard 375mm 718/Macan wheel.

Got it all back together successfully but ran out of times for a pic - looks great mind.

credit to Porsche engineers, the car is like an adult Lego set - not a single broken clip,or fixing.

Got a custom gear knob on order along with a alcantara with deviated stitch gaitor too. Just need to find a 718 GT multifunction wheel with airbag for a sensible price now.

Saturday I managed to get rest of interior upgrade in but what a tw*t of a job…

718 armrest is different to 981, so had to change whole mechanism not just lid as it initially looked. Not difficult but involved removing rear bulkhead carpet, rear centre console trim, dismantling armrest and removing hinge pin and spring. Thankfully all went back together no issue.

Drivers door card literally 5 min job.

Lower dash panel, there’s a hidden screw which involves removing dials 🤦🏻‍♂️ At 3.30 Sat afternoon with the light failing on the drive this is how the car looked.
