    PDK Steering Wheel Options

    I just returned from my P-Car dealer where I placed an order for an October Carrera Coupe build. There seems to be some confusion about the steering wheels that are available for use with PDK. The only optional wheel we could find in the order guide that mentions PDK is the multifunction wheel (not what I want - too many buttons), but yet I found this photo (below) on the P-Car website and it shows what I believe to be a wide sport wheel with PDK buttons. Is this the standard PDK wheel and if not, what is the option code for this wheel?

    Re: PDK Steering Wheel Options

    I am with you JazzMan; don't like the button-studded 3-spoke PDK Multifunction Steering Wheel (Option 844) either.

    But your assumption is correct. The picture shows the standard PDK steering wheel.
    Porsche's Detailed Product Information states: "7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) (250) incl. new 3-spoke sports steering wheel for PDK and new, specially designed gear selector."

    My dealer told me the same. The photo above is the Sport wheel for PDK (much better than the busier multifunction disaster).

    Re: PDK Steering Wheel Options

    knowing porsche, once the options list is issued, no new options will be released till next build.
    Only option from standard PDK steering is the multifunction, and heated steering.
    No thicker PDK steering...yet

    Re: PDK Steering Wheel Options

    I currently have the thicker wheel for my 08 build C4S but having held the standard PDK wheel, I think it is about the same if not slightly thicker (still about half the diameter of my 125i M Sport wheel).

    Re: PDK Steering Wheel Options

    I had the same question at my dealer and from what we believe is that the PDK wheel is now thicker than the old 2005-08 wheel.

    You've got to be kidding me! So now I count 4 different colors on the steering wheel: the leather color, the volcano grey, the black of the buttons and the lighter aluminium plastic of the pdk buttons... This is like the hitchhikers guide to screwing up an already questionable design... (meaning the execution of the pdk buttons)

    If you order black interior it is then just 3 colours.

    I'm afraid to see what I'll get with my 2-tone black/terracotta interior.
