GTS Panamera paddleshift steering wheel installed

It was a pretty straight forward install for guys who don't have multifunction on his steering wheel (like me).

1. Kill the battery. Leave for 10 minutes. I just immediately work on my car without even waiting.

2. Stick a small flathead screwdriver in the hole on the below on the steering wheel housing and feel for a metal bar running across. Push it upward and feel the spring tension against it. The airbag should pop out after this. If not, then you are pressing against the wrong thing.

3. Unplug all the wires inside. Use a T-55 torx bit to remove the center screw.

4. Replace the steering wheel. Make sure you have it on straight. On my first try, I found out my steering wheel is one "click" to the right, so the car is driving straight, but the steering wheel is about 15-degrees off to the right.

5. Put all the wiring back. Don't forget to plug everything back in. For the middle wire, make sure it's out of the way. For me, I forgot to put the wire back in its middle clip, so it's actually sitting on the metal hook and when I pushed the airbag back into position, the airbag won't click back into place and it became a PITA to try to take it out again since the spring mechanism doesn't work anymore. Lucky I had one of them nylon prybars meant for interior panels so I could slip it in between the stuck airbag and the steering surround to cajole it out.

Here's the end product:

That looks amazing!

I would never in a million years deal with explosives airbags myself, no matter how much of the electrics I disconnected, but good job!

Ya, I love the wheel in my turbo and thats the one I have standard for my incoming Cayenne GTS. Thing is the best. Worth the loss of dash functionality.
