Raffe Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hi all, Just bought a 981 GTS manual and want to upgrade the wheel to a newer/smaller diameter (360) Macan/718 wheel. The current wheel has multifunction buttons, has anyone done this upgrade to their 981 as an help appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 There are a few threads about the upgrade, myself included, I did a small write up after replacing the 1959s type MF wheel with a carbon MF wheel from a 718. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driyage Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 I did this with mine, pretty straightforward, I got the GPS adapter to make the rotary mode selection switch to work as well. mine wasn’t heated so was simpler. Need a new airbag as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100wheeler Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 I’ve done this too. Bought a Macan/718 MF PDK steering wheel (heated) and new airbag. Bought the GPS adapter and works perfectly including the heating and MF buttons. I think it’s a good bit of kit and the support from the chap in China/HK is excellent too if required. Whilst I don’t have Sport Chrono I did read somewhere that the GPS adapter for this on the new wheel can be a bit temperamental(?) I think it links wirelessly to the Sport/Sport + buttons on the 981 rather than hard wired but as I say I have no experience of this. For a straight swap to the newer wheel I can thoroughly recommend the GPS solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
