Upgrade sport design steering wheel to multifunction coding guide

Porsche 991.1/981/970 original equipped Sport Design Steering Wheel (with PDK shifts paddles version) and with Sport Chrono Package, can be upgraded to multifunction without needing a "Multifunction enable code". There is no ◊ button setting menu in the instrument display, a simple way to add a ◊ button setting menu in the instrument display: use PIWIS in development mode to enable the Joker key, under (Kombiinstrument, Manuelle Codierung ohne MCR Regeln):

If you need to keep the 991.1/981 'Paddle Neutral' function - 'pull both paddle shifters simultaneously and the PDK shifts to neutral', please retain the Vehicle Configuration Data steering wheel type with the Sport Design steering wheel. Changing the steering wheel type to multifunction will result in the loss of the 'Paddle Neutral' function.

If the equipped steering wheel is of the basic style (only with PDK buttons) or the control module parts number is 7PP.953.568.AR, then you must replace it with a multifunction support steering control module hardware (Parts number #958.652.568.14) and code it.

997.2/987.2 is manual without multifunction; to add multifunction, you need to replace the steering control module with multifunction support hardware and use PIWIS to code the multifunction to be installed.

If 997.2/987.2 is PDK version, to upgrade to a multifunction steering wheel, only these steps need to be performed: select to 'steering col.switch' unit, read and erase all fault memories, then switch to 'codings' and set 'Multi-function or Sport/Launch display' and 'PDK' both options as 'installed'
