- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ส.ค. 2024
- One of the best ways to upgrade the interior of your Porsche is with a new steering wheel. It's also the most tactile connection we have to our cars, so it makes a huge difference to the driving experience.
I've just installed a 982/992-style steering wheel to my 981 Boxster, courtesy of Porsche Master, and I LOVE it. To get yours, go to www.porschemas.... At the time of publishing, the wheels are compatible with the 997, 991, 987, 981, 718, Macan, Panamera, and Cayenne Porsche models.

My good sir, you are incredibly underrated. Like criminally underrated. The videos are so quality they're not full of distracting jump cuts or crazy transitions or music. Just calm collected and pleasing to watch. Literally binge watching the whole channel right now lol ❤❤
That’s the nicest thing I’ve read in while! Thank you. 🙏
@@peterfritzphoto ❤❤
I second that!
Looks surprisingly simple! Just got a new wheel and came here to see how it's done. Thanks a ton for a clear and concise video.
My pleasure.
Awesome video! Just ordered mine from PorscheMaster!
Interesting Peter, not as gruesomely complex as I was anticipating 😀
Ditto. Except for the horn issue, which we discovered on a 200 km drive to the country the next day, where it suddenly started sounding all by itself! I had to pull the fuse until I made it to my dad’s house. That’s when we discovered the need to wind back the torx screws a bit. I’m going to connect the scan tool tomorrow to clear the airbag error light.
Thanks for the great Video Peter. Spec'ed out a wheel with William, for my 981, and installed easily, thx to your video!
Wonderful. Thanks, Bill. 👍
Incredible channel.
Thank you!
thx from germany for the video! very helpful, and well documented
Thank you!
Peter, I think you could make a video about pouring a glass of water and I’d find it interesting. I didn’t know you were so handy with the tool bag. another great video, buddy!
Haha! Thanks, old mate! My dream is to create a woodworking shed and make unique furniture pieces. Some of my fondest memories include hours spent making things in my dad’s shed, and the wonderful smell of timber. Plus, there’s nothing more satisfying than creating with you hands.
@@peterfritzphoto Nice. I remember those woodworking days myself.
What a great video! This was so informative and educational. Thank you
Thanks, Dino!
Ok cheers peter .I get my new wheel tuesday exactly same as yours can't wait . Will send you pics thanks again
No worries, mate. I love mine. 👍
@@peterfritzphotoi can’t open the link to order mine please help, what is the name of the company so i can find it on google?
@@fredericwessling6886 Yes, I just noticed tonight there’s a technical issue with his domain name on the website (I’m a web designer by day). I’m going to email him now. The website is porschemaster.com.
I have a 987.2 Cayman and have the standard wheel with no buttons. Whilst I live and deal with it, not letting it ruin my enjoyment, I would be lying if I said having buttons on the wheel wouldn't be a nice convenience. So whether it's this wheel or my same wheel but with the buttons, i'm not sure yet, but it will happen at some point. Looks absolutely excellent on your Boxster though, and the tutorial showing how to put it on is very helpful! Keep up the great content!
Suspension, tyres, and the steering wheel have always been the things I’m quickest to update on a car - going right back to my Holden Gemini in 1986 - because they control how connected you feel with the car and the road. The buttons are definitely convenient, but the look and feel of the new wheel is really special.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks, Dan.
Great mod. I have the rear light bar as well and just ordered the wheel from William.
I've talked plenty with William, he is a super nice guy and will follow this guide on my steering wheel install.
Thanks to your video for the review, I would not have found his site or have the confidence in his products without your videos.
minor question, how easy was it to clear the airbag warning with the scan tool? *edit i found the answer in the replies below.
@@zinistrr Thanks, mate. I agree - William is a lovely guy.
Sub - that's what i was looking for - as well for the other videos !! thx
Great install video. I am considering the newer wheel as well. But my concern is with airbag unit, if it same or similar to OE Porsche airbag.
Thanks. What exactly is your concern?
@@peterfritzphoto quality of the airbag unit itself vs original equipment. As you were airbag unit alone cost a fortune. I know Porsche don’t make their own units but bit concerned about a manufacturing process from a 3rd party supplier, as this is a safety risk item.
@@Pcar_dad6733 It’s stamped ‘Made in Germany’, so I feel comfortable with it.
I tried to order the wheel. The website sucks. Sorry. But your video is WONDERFUL. Thanks.
I agree - as a web designer, I find William’s site a bit frustrating. I’ve offered quite a lot of advice, and he’s certainly made some improvements, but it definitely needs further improvement.
About to do this one this week!
What an improvement 👍. I thought about that mod but my 981 Cayman has the sports wheel with paddles already so not sure it’s worth it for me. Whilst not as nice as the updated one, it’s still looks nice, though has no volume controls. The cayman is the same with the windows dropping. Oh, and book arrived yesterday 😉👍. Steve.
I’ve always loved the 981 wheel with the paddles, but the concave design and smaller airbag on this new one really elevate the interior. Good luck with the book, Steve. 👊
That windshield camera rig though. Yowza! 1:01
Haha - that’s handheld at 60fps, slowed down to 30 fps.
@@peterfritzphoto I am saying that suction cup on the windshield is as big as my head.
I used to work for a company in Hollywood, CA, that is a full-service automotive prep company serving ad agencies and production company needs in digital, film, print, and event marketing projects. This one time someone accidentally deployed an airbag. Good times! 4:25
Scary! That’s is why I disconnected the battery. I’ve had an airbag go off in my face, too - when my daughter drove my wife’s car into a big boulder!
@@peterfritzphoto Yikes! Fortunately, no one was inside the vehicle we were working on when the airbag was deployed.
So it’s not the exact wheel by Porsche themselves right? Just the same design.
Would you say you noticed any differences in the craftsmanship quality particularly with the emblem in the middle and the materials compared to original wheels?
Correct - it's not an OEM wheel. I drove a current model 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 straight after my Boxster, and the difference in the two wheels was neglible. The badge in the centre looks great, the finish is excellent, everything looks and feels factory.
what a great mod...I had to buy the Porsche wheel + air bag along with the PCM module converter.....
X-73 kit next !! 😆
I was tempted to get the X73 kit, but I went cheap and installed Eibach lowering springs last week. It’s not ideal, though, so now I’m contemplating Ohlins coilovers.
@@peterfritzphoto You also get the Spyder (GT4) front and rear anti roll bars in addition to the shocks and springs,, which are thicker and a lot stiffer. These also dramatically improve the handling (less body roll) and better turn in etc... They can be purchased individually from Porsche if you're not going down the full X-73 kit route,..which I did on my previous 981. Looking forward to your next mods.
@@villaman4818 Thanks, mate. It seems I can get the kit from Suncoast, landed in Australia for US $2400, which is actually pretty good value. Very tempted, now…
@@peterfritzphoto That's not a bad price. They are around £1500 in the UK but have been on back order since the pandemic. I've been watching your other videos and watched the booze one last night which motivated me to put my G&T back and I didn't have my usual Sunday 2 or 3 + wine. Thanks for sharing mate ..one day at a time right !
@@villaman4818 Yeah, I noticed they weren’t in stock. That’s good, actually; it saves me from being tempted! Glad you liked that other video. My life feels a lot lighter and freer without booze. Plus, I’m probably saving well over $500 a month. 😄
All I know is that I would love to have a ride in that little car! Too bad I am eight thousand miles away from you!!
I would love that, Juanita. I just finished telling my wife how lovely and supportive you’ve been since I began this video-making journey. xo
Very helpful, looking to get a 2012 Panamera and my god is the steering wheel ugly, your old one looks similar so hopefully no issue for me. :)
Yep - it’s the one thing I hated each time I got into my car. Now, it looks bang up-to-date.
Looks great Peter, nice upgrade. Will check out Porschemaster.
Did the little earth wire also go back on the airbag?
No, the other end of it was attached to the old wheel. The new wheel only has the two airbag wires and the wide plug at the top.
Nice one, thank you 👍🏻
Peter, yes Cayman is the same with the window.
Ah, thanks for that.
I read so much about modules for the multifunction steering wheels and coding so that they work plug and play. Don't you need one?
No, not if the wheel you’re replacing is a multi-function wheel. You only need a module if your original wheel is not a multi-function wheel. Every function on my new wheel worked immediately, with no additional components or programming required. I only had to clear the airbag warning light on the instrument cluster.
@@peterfritzphoto oh cool thank you 🙏🏼
can you show us how to clear the airbag warning sign?
Hi Peter. I purchased the code reader after I’d completed filming the video, so I couldn’t include it. I’m afraid it doesn’t warrant a dedicated video as it’s simply a a matter of following the instructions of the code reader you choose to use. I happened to use the Foxwell NT510 Elite: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Z5JS7B9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Hi Peter, question here - my steering wheel has the sport and sport plus light indicator - by changing the wheel - Doesn't the fact that the new steering wheel doesn't have Sport and Sport Plus LEDs cause errors in the electronic system, instrument panel and in obd2 diagnostic?
Hi Paulo. My factory wheel had the same lights. Installing this wheel created no such errors. My car has also been back to Porsche for a service since the wheel was installed, and no error codes were recorded.
Hello my friend, with the change were you able to activate the functions of the buttons on the steering wheel? I have the same steering wheel and I want to replace it, but I don't know if the buttons on the steering wheel work, please tell me
Yes, they all worked correctly without any programming. Like many people, I did get an airbag warning light on the dashboard, but removed it quickly and easily with a code reader (your dealership can also do this for you).
How excellent, thank you for your response.
Is your radio the original one or did you change it for a new one?
I replaced it with a pioneer, with a kit for connecting the wiring and maintaining the original plugs.@@peterfritzphoto
@@patijua It’s the original audio system.
@@peterfritzphoto Thank you for your video and for your answers.
Last question, what is the number of the T key that you use to remove the steering wheel?
@@patijua It’s the 12mm 12-spline tool.
Nice video! Interested in if the buttons work as they should, or you need the adapter.
Thank you. Everything works perfectly without any adaptor or additional items.
Nice upgrade! By the way, don't know if you noticed, but looks like you're missing 4 strut nuts (2 on either side) on your front suspension..
We’ll spotted! I had to remove my strut brace to access the battery terminals. I filmed its reinstallation, but left it out for brevity. 👍
@@peterfritzphoto haha, ok, was a little worried 🙂
I have the prior generation wheel with the paddle shifts, glad I ordered that one vs. the thumb shifters.
Hi Peter is it just plug in and play . No software to do thanks Martin.
Yes - plug and play. However, you will need to clear the airbag warning light afterwards.
Hi Peter, looks great ! Also have a 987.2 Cayman and the update steering wheel ( with paddles ) would be a REAL improvement on the rather ‘Odd’ button things . Question … do the
Paddles feel solid and well made? Thanks
Absolutely. Everything feels Porsche-like heavy and solid. I love it.
I am guessing everything is still good? the only thing I am slightly worried about is hand tightening instead of using a measured torque wrench at 50Nm
@@zinistrr Yep, still perfect. Why can’t you use a torque wrench?
@@peterfritzphoto i can use a regular torque wrench (like what you use). I do not have a measured one for the exact torque. Forgot the precise tool name.
Thanks for clarifying; should be getting my wheel any day now.
@@zinistrr I'm sure you'll be fine. If by some remote chance you didn't tighten it sufficiently, you'd feel it on the road.
@@peterfritzphoto i got the steering wheel and William was nice enough to include and install the magnetic shifters with a discount sans the old shifters. the wheel is great and i cant wait to install it tomorrow once i get the bit.
my only real concern is the airbag, it is made by TAKATA and there has been a huge amount of recalls for this airbag, albeit the recalls are not for Porsche. How would I go about researching this airbag since I have all the serials for it?
@@zinistrr I don’t know how you’d research that other than Googling whatever markings are on it. This might sound flippant, but I’m personally not fussed either way. So long as my passenger has an airbag, I’m fine. I’ve crashed a car into a ditch without an airbag, and it was only my knees that struck anything.
Where are those accessories made,Are they Porsche quality ?
The airbag is stamped ‘Made in Germany’. I believe the wheel is made in China, which is fine with me. My iPhone, and about 1,000 other items in my house are made there.
What scan tool did you use to clear the airbag code?
The Foxwell NT510 Elite.
Do you know who makes the airbags? If its a common manufacturer that supplies the other
OEMs than I'd trust it, but if it's a knockoff then I'd be afraid it’d malfunction randomly or in crash.
Sorry, I don’t recall. But I do know it said ‘Made in Germany’.
Hey Peter, I'm just prepping for my wheel install after buying from William thanks to your video, can I ask if you managed to remove the airbag light with a regular scanner tool or did you have to go to a Porsche dealer/indi to have it coded on piwis equipment.
Cheers
Steve
I was able to do it myself. I’ve replied to a few other comments about the model of scan tool I used (I’ve forgotten right now).
Hi, can you install this wheel (very same, with buttons) on a 991.1 (no buttons of course) ? If so, will the button (all of them) work as they should and does this require any additional piece of equipment?
Another one.. :) you mentionned that you could also fit a will with the knob for mode selection. Can I fit that one on my 991.1 ? If so, what else is required ?
Finally, what torque did you use when bolting it back up ?
Thanks 🙏
Hi mate. Best thing for you to do is contact the guys at Porsche Master. They’ll advise you.
@@peterfritzphoto thanks but unfortunately they are not very helpful with this kind of information. They simply do not share anything when it comes to such modification
@@TheUnstoppableMr Have you tried emailing William? He's been very helpful for me and others. You can reach him at rennmeisterllc@gmail.com. I believe you can install the wheel with buttons when your current wheel doesn't have buttons only if you purchase the new wheel with the hairspring option. As for the mode selector dial on the wheel, I believe this requires the separate purchase of a module to make it work (assuming your car has the Sport and Sport+ drive modes available via the centre console). I didn't set my wheel nut to a set torque. I tightened by feel. I'm sure the torque value is published online somewhere.
Hey Peter, just came across your video after purchasing my 981 B/S. After changing out your wheel, did you ever try the neutral shift feature by quick pressing both paddles to see if you could get the car into neutral? I was really hoping to unlock this feature by going to a sport wheel from porschemaster. Thanks for all the content!
No, I haven't... I must try it.
@@peterfritzphoto I've been searching the entire internet for the answer to this question, you are my only hope! Thank you!
@@SkiddMcMarxx I just went out to the garage and tested it. No, it doesn't put the gearbox in neutral.
@@peterfritzphoto Bummer, thanks. Sounds like I will have to find a dealer or shop local to use a PIWIS to program the feature in. Appreciate the help!!
@@SkiddMcMarxx Happy to help.
Great video sir 🙏 So all buttons work as per the previous wheel without any other adapters needed? Looking to do this mod and importing a new wheel probably still cheaperthan buying used on ebay
Thanks, Steve. Correct - everything worked; no adapter required.
@@peterfritzphoto Thank you Peter, just placed my order, very excited to do this mod👌
@@Steve-vc1fy I’m certainly very happy with mine. I fell like I’m in a brand new car each time I go for a drive.
Having handled it, do you feel pretty comfortable using the aftermarket (Polish[?]) airbag in place of the OEM unit?
The airbag in this wheel is labelled Made in Germany.
I installed myself. About 550 AUD. After I put it on, no light came up. The only problem I met is self-centered of the steering wheel, I left to the car dealer I bought from, they gave me a free alignment when I bought the car. So they recentered the wheel and everything goes fine. Except for that, the older wheel feel much more base-solid, and it gives me more response from the chassis. Any one had the same feeling like me?
The wheel should have no impact on the responsiveness of the chassis or the steering.
@@peterfritzphoto Period. After I went thru the twisty roads for some, the wheel feels much firmer and more straightforward. I don’t know what’s happening then. Love driving it anyway
@@fastcrazy2555 Perhaps it’s the feel of the vegan leather vs the real leather of the OEM wheel.
I've been looking for this video for a longtime, I am looking to buy a porsche 991. The steeringwheel is old and I want to upgrade it, the current steering has no function buttons. If I order a steeringwheel with buttons, how do I get them to work? It will probably need some module to make it work I assume.
If your existing wheel has no function buttons, I believe you need to order your wheel with the “Function Button Hairspring with no Heat Function” option. I believe you only need an additional module if you wish to buy a wheel with the Drive Mode Selector dial option.
@@peterfritzphoto So you are saying that if the current one has MF and I get a new steering wheel with MF I need no adapter? The company that sells them says I do, but they are biased of course.
@@FreeMusicSpecialist MF?
MF = Multi Function 😮
@@MooKeyWillSon Oh yes… Seems obvious, now.
Is this wheel also for 987 boxter ?
@@vaggelis_daoutis Not this specific wheel, but they do have very similar wheels for the 987. 👍
@@peterfritzphotothanks for the fast response! Do you know any online shop that I can find wheels in europe?
@@vaggelis_daoutis Rennmeister (where I got my wheel) ships to Europe. www.rennmeisterllc.com/product-category/997-987/

@@vaggelis_daoutis My pleasure, mate. 👍
Does anyone know if a heated wheel can be retrofitted (to a 982.1 without)?
I don’t know, I’m afraid. Email the guys at Porsche Master.
Does anyone know if I can upgrades my 970 Panamera to this steering wheel?
Contact William at Porsche Master.
So this is a 981 boxter and you're upgrading the staring wheel. I look that Porsche, master and it said you had to put a horse or reprogrammit. Or something is that correct? It looks like yours was just a fit and finish. And that was it, I'm looking into getting one I followed your lead and got that light in the back. Now the steering wheel could be mix. I just need to understand it more.
My car had the factory multi function wheel, so replacing it with this new multi function wheel was a straight swap. Everything worked without any additional components. All I had to do was attach a code reader to clear the airbag warning light on my dash. Your dealer can do this for you if you don’t have a suitable code reader.
Hello Peter how are you? Great video. I did order the wheel however I want ask you if you get involved in car accident do you think theses airbags will deploy?
On age styling web page they do OEM steering and airbags but it’s cost lot more.
Cheers
Thanks
Hi David. I sure hope so! They’re made in Germany, after all. Besides, I haven’t heard of anyone making fake or dummy airbags.
@@peterfritzphoto I guarantee that wheel / airbag will be from China, and I personally wouldn't trust the airbag. Wheel is fine, just airbag is dodgy. Google knock off air bags from China
Do you think the airbag is safe and fully operational? This isn’t an oem wheel so I’m concerned about that
I feel confident. The airbag was stamped, ‘Made in Germany’.
@@peterfritzphoto Good to hear, sounds like they use oem airbags
@@milkyy4168 Or at least something of similar quality.
Hi Peter, is the wheel and airbag OEM Porsche parts or are these Chinese aftermarket? Curious as the prices seem too good to be true.
Hi, Lance. The airbag is definitely German, and labeled as such. I believe the wheel is Chinese. The quality, however, is very high - like many products from China these days. The iPhone I’m typing this on is made in China, as are my DJI drones and cameras, SmallRig and Neewer gear, my Insta360 cameras, and so many other well-made goods.
Were u able to delete the airbag light? I did that and my airbag lights up but if i put it in my macan to test the airbag theres no problem
Yes. I purchased a FOXWELL NT510 Elite code reader and managed to delete it very easily.
Any chance you were able to verify the make of the airbag itself and whether it is a real OEM unit or a Chinese ripoff? I just don't see anything on the website about the parts actually being OEM.
I’d have to remove my wheel again to check (too lazy). It did say ‘Made in Germany’, though.
@@peterfritzphoto just to clarify, the airbag or the wheel? I'm far more concerned about the airbag itself being OEM in an accident.
@@Jazz3006 Correct - the airbag had 'Made in Germany' on it - not the wheel. I'm sure the wheel is made in China, but a lot of high quality products are made there these days, so I'm okay with that.
@@peterfritzphoto great, thanks!
hello, what year do you have the car? I have a Porsche Cayenne 2013 with the same steering wheel and I want to upgrade it with a facelift steering wheel! did you put an adapter or just moved the steering wheel and then coded the steering wheel again from the switch?? I notice that at put a module on all of them so that the buttons work. thanks for the answer
Hello, Alexandru. My car is a 2013 model. I didn’t require an adapter, nor any coding. I installed it, and everything worked. The only thing I needed to do afterwards was plug in a code reader and clear the airbag light on my dashboard (a common issue when you disconnect a steering wheel). If you don’t have a code reader, your dealership can clear the light for you in a few minutes.
@@peterfritzphotothank you🙌👍
@@user-re3we4ed4y No worries.
Hi, Peter
Still can’t reset airbag light on my cayman Williams is sending me another airbag to see if that resolves.
I’m wondering if anybody had the same issue like I did.
Do you think if I install a OEM will work with the steering wheel?
Any help from anyone will be appreciated.
Thanks
That’s very good of William. I’m not a mechanic, so I can’t offer any advice beyond my own experience. However, the first code reader I connected didn’t allow me to clear codes on my car, so I gave it to my brother in law and bought a different one, which did work. It was the Foxwell NT510 Elite: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Z5JS7B9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Im having the same issue, did you get it fixed with a replacement airbag buddy?
Williams did send me a new set of wires witches resolve the problem with ease no new airbag was needed .
Good luck!
How does it compare to OEM considering this is not a genuine Porsche product? Is there fit and finish issues that make it obvious that it is aftermarket like the colors not matching or the leather being fake or poorer quality or anything? Did the airbag light come on because it wasn't a genuine Porsche airbag or something? Did you get that sorted out?
It feels genuine. The airbag light comes on when you disconnect the existing one. I simply reset it with a code reader after installing the new one.
@@peterfritzphoto I got this steering wheel. The airbag seems genuine, and the leather on it seems genuine (butter soft; I was expecting the steering wheel airbag to be the textured, cheaper, non-leather surface), but the steering wheel "leather" is definitely faux leather. The metal plastic looks just a bit shinier, more like a chrome plastic than a polished aluminum plastic (just a little bit). The plastic bezel has finishing spots from the mold that mess of the lines/finish. The buttons feel okay, but they push in with a cheaper feel and less bounce-back like on an economy car. It is subtle, but all these things were noticeable to my OCD. This is a cheaper option, but I will end up selling the steering wheel, keeping the airbag, and I found a used 991.2 steering wheel that was practically flawless. The second I got it, the genuine leather was butter smooth, and the plastic materials just felt tight and solid with a more premium feel and function. This is a good, aftermarket, budget option that gets 90% there, minus the vegan leather, but it wasn't for me.
@@jirace Fair enough. I tried for a while to buy a genuine wheel, but they were $3k+, so I went looking elsewhere, and that’s when I found Porsche Master.
@@peterfritzphoto Unfortunately iCarSoft unit was unable to clear the airbag light. I don't know if it was a problem with the airbag, iCarSoft or what. It goes through the process of clearing the code, and it says the code was cleared, but the light doesn't turn off. I used the GPSadapter from a Sport Design to a 982/991.2 multifunction steering wheel, and all the buttons work, except the joker button, but it is just odd that I can't clear the airbag with the iCarSoft unit, even though it has the function. What code reader did you use?
@@jirace I used the Foxwell NT510 Elite: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Z5JS7B9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Hello Peter, I completed my steering wheel installation on 981 Cayman but the light come on as expected how I ran the icarsoftware scanner and its saying STATE: CURRENT DRIVER AIRBAG STAGE 2, LIMIT EXCEDDED. do you had any problems with that or resenting airbag light?
Thanks Peter
I don’t recall what error my scanner described, but once I cleared the error, the dashboard light went out, and it never returned.
