Conversion Kits

Fanatec wheel conversions to USB

What’s the difference between the kits?

How they attach to the wheel and the wheel PCB.

All conversion kits use the same electronics and firmware, so they can all work with the same Fanatec wheels. When a firmware upgrade is published, it can be applied to any of the conversion kits listed below.
