Upgrading a 2014 Panamera with a 971 Steering Wheel

The new airbag finally arrived! This special interior color leather airbag had been on backorder for four months.

Only Panameras come in Marsala Red leather interior. I am waiting for the 971 wheel release and will purchase the 971 steering wheel and airbag in February 2017.

971 Panamera wheels feature a different plug type, horn, and PDK paddles that transmit LIN BUS data to the clock spring socket. Retrofitting a 971 wheel onto a 970 requires replacing the wire harness in the new wheel to ensure full functionality.
