SRM Conversion Kit Plug and Play 6x

Plug in and play conversion kit for current Fanatec Wheels

I can fit this kit to any Fanatec wheel in 3 minutes - So it should not take more than 5 minutes for most people.

New for 2023 I have developed a new version of my conversion kit for Fanatec steering wheels.

This new version labelled 6x has the same electronics as version 5x and uses the same firmware.

What is different is that you do not have to open your steering wheel to fit the conversion kit, making it much easier to attach and use.

1. No need to open your steering wheel.
2. Kit plugs onto the QR pins
3. Firmly bolted to the QR pin plug
4. New Coiled USB cables with standard micro–B USB plug
5. USB cable clamp
6. Easy to swap USB cables
7. Available in Black and Red Anodised Aluminium
8. Attach almost any QR system or bolt direct to wheelbase

The 6x kit is a little taller than the 5x because the QR pins are left on the wheel.  With the 5x these are removed.

This kit will not replace the current 5x version but will be sold alongside.  It is very useful for wheels like the BMW M4 which is difficult to open.

The product is in the prototype stage, with parts on order to test and ensure it's totally reliable.  I expect to have it ready to ship in late November 2022

The Kit includes...

• Version 6x PCB with female pin plugs
• Aluminium QR mounting either in Black or Red colour
• Colied USB cable (Male A to male micro).  gold plated connections
• Custom USB clamp
• USB cable plug cover
• 5 x M5 16mm CAP bolts with black coating
• 1 x M5 10mm CAP bolt with black coating

What will work once the wheel is converted?
 
The converted wheel will connect directly to your PC via the coiled USB cable.  You will need either a USB extension, our DIN option, or a USB hub near the wheel.
Converted wheels will NOT work with consoles they are for PC use only.
 
To use the wheel simply plug the USB cable into your PC and you will see a new device appear.
Buttons, Shifters and Rotaries will all work using standard windows drivers and do not require any additional software.
 
You require the free FANALEDS software to make the display, LED’s and Rumble work on the wheel (depending on the wheel specification)
Simply instal the software and it should work with your game.
 
Formula and F1 wheels will only have the REV LED’s working.  Currently the side (Flag) LED’s do not work.
The GT7 wheel currently has no working display and the 4 joysticks do not work.
 
You can use the Fanatec APM addon with the wheels.  All four shifters will work.  The clutches will also work, but there is no option for Bit Point as each clutch is just a separate analogue device.
This is the same for the McLaren GT3 V2 - there is no Bite Point although a customer has a way of doing this with software - please see https://youtu.be/N2FLinU7Id0
 
** BMW M4 - Thse functions do not work on this wheel yet, I will be looking to get them working with new firmware.
No Display, No control of LED's and the Green Rotary Switch does not work.
 
What wheelbase can I use?
 
The converted wheel can be used with any wheelbase / Direct Drive system.  Because the wheel plugs directly into your PC it is independent of the wheelbase.
What you do need to do, however, is attach the wheel physically to the wheelbase.  You can either use a Quick Release system or bolt the converted wheel direct to the wheelbase shaft adapter.
