The installation procedure is the same as that of the steering wheel spacer, so here are the instructions for the steering wheel spacer.
In fact, the adapter for Porsche 991 steering wheel on 996 is also a spacer on the steering wheel, because the new steering wheel will be closer to the end of the installation.
For this reason, the installation is the same, with the only difference that instead of re-installing the 996 steering wheel, you will insert the 991 steering wheel.

We recommend that you do not connect the new airbag to the 996 /993 connector, you do not guarantee the operation of the new type airbag with the old type electronics. Let’s remember that 10 years pass between the 2 generations.
In any case, it should be remembered that on all cars, not only Porsche, the functionality of the airbag is no longer guaranteed after 10 years, due to chemical decay of the properties of the pyrotechnic gas inside.
The adapter is only mechanical: if you get a 991 steering wheel with controls for radio and cruise control, you will not be able to adapt them to the 996, which did not have them, so it lacks basic electronics.

Video tutorials. We don’t yet have a video in which we install a new steering wheel on an old Porsche, so we propose the video of the spacer at the steering wheel, also because the procedure is the same.
