    MF Steering Wheel Retrofit

    I was just told by Porsche East London that the MF Steering wheel cannot be retrofitted, is this true? I have the Cocoa interior if that makes any odds.

    A friend had one retrofitted on 997 Turbo. The job was done by an independent workshop locally. It required some improvisation though. It is not a straightforward retrofit and this maybe the reason OPCs decline to do it. 

    It works well and even communicates with an aftermarket bluetooth.

    Not sure why it needed improvisation... all the parts bolt straight on, I can only assume the car had a sport steering wheel for which the covers / buttons are not designed. Everything else should be a straight swap and plug and play.

    I think you are right. The original wasn't the tringular pad steering wheel.
