Gt3 seats / Gen2 steering wheel upgrade
- Thread starter kam
- Start date
Well Kam, thanks for the info. I took some tie out today & managed to get my horn working with the Gen.2 wheel now.
As per your info. I was also able to carry out a minor addition to the procedure myself.
I discovered that the orange multi plug has a small pink plastic clip inside it (see pic) which passes through the centre & holds all of the pins in place.
If you pop it out, you can remove the two pins & swap them round, allowing you to use the original spade connector as an earth to the airbag chassis.
Afterwards, I was able to simply splice the steering wheel ground to the original wire by soldering & a small piece of heat shrink & re-assemble the connector so it looks pretty much stock.
Note: I'm not sure if this would work as easily with a M/F wheel, as it's likely the second earth wire from the original spade connector connects to the M/F controls inside the wheel, but it does work fine with the plain wheel.

997 Heated seat retrofit - Non OEM
Research on here seems to suggest that converting my recently acquired sports seats to heated using OEM Porsche parts is a rather forlorn hope.
Has anyone acheived a similar outcome using non OEM seat heaters and how and what did you use?
I would much rather make everything look standard if possible but as I have luxury of two pairs of seats right now I can work on converting the sports seats whilst the comfort ones are fitted.
Thanks in advance
David
