I wouldn’t waste money trying to make it something it isn’t. Between not what you want annd the cost I would never be happy. Upgrading is expensive, especially in the Porsche world.

For comfort they make Apple car play add ons. Only $500 or so and not too hard to install.

A steering wheel may require an expensive adapter ($400), new airbag, possible new controller on top of the price of a steering wheel. Depends on how new you upgrade.

Just get the newer model :)
