Paddles and Multi Function Steering Wheel on 997 or 991?

[surfymark]

So from a previous thread but I thought it deserved it's own, it seems that you cannot order both the Paddles (on a PDK box) and the MFSW together.

I can kind of see why but I hadn't realised this.

Is this true of all models of both 991 and 997? Does anyone have both (even if it was retro-fitted?

It's def Paddles, or MFSW not both for the 997, but apparently a fix is incoming for the 991.

Ah that is a pain. Just about to spec a 997 and really wanted both!

I switched from MFSW to paddles when I picked up my new car last month and, while I'd rather have both, I'm amazed how little I miss the MFSW. In fact, I'm watching the road more instead of fiddling with the PCM. Hopefully you'll find the same thing.

FWIW, I missed the multi-function wheel of my wife's Boxster enormously when I picked up my 911. I was forever "thumbing" the wheel trying to adjust volume or zoom the sat nav.

For my money, I'd take the multi-function wheel over paddles any day of the week, but it wouldn't be (wasn't!) a deal breaker either way.

Having said that, I have neither on my 911 (just a heated wheel with PDK buttons and nothing else) and, after 7 months, have finally stopped thumbing the wheel.

Almost half the time I even manage to remember which way to turn the dial to zoom the sat nav in rather than out...
