Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System For PORSCHE 981/982/991 Chassis
Description
The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is a motorsport-grade upgrade engineered specifically for Porsche 981, 982, and 991 chassis vehicles - including the Cayman, Boxster, 718, and 911 families. As the first system in the industry to combine both CAN bus and LIN bus technologies in a single hub, it delivers flawless communication with your factory electronics and unlocks over 20 additional vehicle functions beyond the stock steering wheel. True plug-and-play installation means no splicing, no wiring headaches, and no compromises to your factory systems.
Precision machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum using 5-axis CNC technology and finished in sleek black anodizing, every component of the PODIUM LINE is built to the same exacting standard as the cars it's designed for. The fully customizable button layout, multi-profile memory, RevLEDs CAN bus shift lights, and optional OLED Driver Information Display make this the definitive all-in-one racing steering wheel solution for serious Porsche track drivers.
Key Features
- Dual CAN Bus + LIN Bus Integration: First system in the industry to combine both protocols in one hub - enables over 20 OEM functions including wipers, turn signals, high beam flash, TC adjustment, PDK SPORT, PSE, and more.
- 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: Hub, adapter, and quick release are all 5-axis CNC precision machined and black anodized for exceptional strength, durability, and premium feel.
- True Plug-and-Play Installation: No splicing or wiring modifications required - integrates seamlessly with Porsche factory electronics on 981/982/991 chassis.
- MadtraceLAB 1.0 Software: Fully customizable button layout configured via MadtraceLAB software; a discreet USB-C port future-proofs the hub for updates and feature expansions.
- 3-Profile Multi-Setting Memory: Store up to three fully customizable profiles directly in the hub's internal memory, each with unique button mappings and RGB LED colors for instant on-the-fly recall.
- RevLEDs CAN Bus Shift Lights: Zero-delay CAN bus shift lights built into the hub; all lights flash red at redline for instant, accurate shift cues.
- 8 Front-Facing Programmable Buttons + Dual Joystick Knobs: Every input is fully remappable across profiles, covering any OEM CAN bus function the chassis supports.
- Optional Dual Magnetic Paddle Shifters: Motorsport-grade paddles machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum; all four paddles are fully programmable - not just for shifting. Compatible with both PDK and manual transmission vehicles.
- Optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID): Replaces the standard horn cap to show real-time speed and telemetry, enable on-the-fly profile switching and button remapping, and adjust RGB button colors and display brightness - no laptop required.
- Porsche 981/982/991 Fitment: Covers Cayman, Boxster, 718, 911 - with specific configurations for GT vehicles (GT3, GT3 RS, GT4, GT4 RS, Spyder, GT2 RS) and non-GT vehicles, in both PDK and manual transmission variants.
Line Up Options & Which to Choose
- NON GT Vehicles WITH PDK (RSWGEN2PD991AT): Configured for standard 981/982/991 Cayman, Boxster, 718, and 911 models equipped with Porsche's PDK automatic transmission. Ideal for drivers with an automatic PDK car who want full CAN bus function access and paddle shifter compatibility.
- NON GT Vehicles WITH MT (RSWGEN2PD991MT): Configured for standard 981/982/991 models with a manual gearbox. MT drivers can add optional paddle shifters to unlock additional programmable functions beyond shifting.

- GT Vehicles WITH MT (RSWGEN2PD991GT3MT): The full GT experience for drivers piloting a GT3, GT3 RS, GT4, GT4 RS, Spyder, Spyder RS, or GT2 RS with a manual transmission. Add optional paddles for programmable secondary functions while keeping the pure manual driving connection.

FAQ
Is the Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE legal for street use?
No. The Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is designed exclusively for off-road, track, racing, and competition use. It is not intended for street use and may not comply with local vehicle safety regulations. Installation on any motor vehicle subject to state safety inspection is strictly prohibited. Because the racing wheel is solid and does not include an airbag, a 6-point racing harness and roll bar are strongly required for use.
Which LINE UP option do I need for my Porsche?
Your selection depends on two things: whether your car is a GT-variant (GT3, GT3 RS, GT4, GT4 RS, Spyder, GT2 RS) or a standard non-GT model, and whether your transmission is PDK or manual (MT). GT cars have a unique CAN bus architecture that requires the GT-specific hub configuration. Choose the option that matches your exact vehicle - if you're unsure, you can specify your year and model in the notes at checkout.
Can I add paddle shifters to a manual transmission Porsche?
Yes. The PODIUM LINE supports optional single or dual magnetic paddle shifters on manual transmission vehicles. On MT cars, the paddles are not used for shifting gears in the traditional sense - instead, all four paddles are fully programmable and can be assigned to any supported CAN bus function, such as turn signals, TC adjustment, or other vehicle controls.
What is the OLED Driver Information Display (DID) and do I need it?
The optional OLED DID replaces the standard horn cap on the hub and adds a small display screen beneath the RevLEDs shift lights. It shows real-time telemetry data like vehicle speed via CAN bus, and allows you to switch profiles, remap buttons, adjust display brightness, and customize RGB button colors - all without connecting to a laptop. It's ideal for drivers who want maximum flexibility at the track without carrying a computer.
What steering wheels are compatible with this system?
The PODIUM LINE hub system is sold alone or bundled with several steering wheel options including Sparco L360 and R383 (330mm) in suede or leather, and MOMO Montecarlo (350mm) and Mod.78/Mod.88 (320mm) in suede or alcantara. Optional adapters are also available for MOMO Original Horn Cap (6x70mm) and Nardi-type steering wheels (6x74mm), giving you broad compatibility with aftermarket wheels.
What is the ENP Finish Kit upgrade?
The ENP (Electroless Nickel Plated) Finish Kit upgrades the paddle shifters, quick release ring, knobs, and hardware to an electroless nickel plated finish. It's a premium aesthetic and durability upgrade available for both single and dual paddle configurations, giving the system a distinctive silver finish that contrasts with the standard black anodized components.
