SRM Wheel Emulator V7
Standard for Fanatec wheel base
with the QR2 Fitted.
Notice: It has been brought to my attention in the last 10 days that there is an issue with the Emulator V7 and the Podium DD1 and DD2 wheel bases, where connecting the emulator only works some of the time. After spending a lot of time on this i'm still not sure whats wrong and why it only affects the DD1 & DD2, but I fear it might require a hardware change. So please don't purchase this product for the DD1 or DD2 wheelbase at the moment.
This product is the right choice if you have a FANATEC wheelbase but want to use a different (non Fanatec) steering wheel on it.
- SRM Emulator V7
- OEM QR2 fitted (So that everything can be classed as UK origin)
There are two things you need if you want to use a non Fanatec steering wheel on a Fanatec wheelbase.
- The physical connection
- Make the Fanatec wheelbase give force feedback.
Our Emulator product allows you to do both of these. It includes an adapter plate to allow bolting the Fanatec quick release (which has a non-standard bolt pattern) to a 70mm or 50.8mm hole profile wheel. (These are the most common hole patterns)
The Emulator basically pretends to be a Fanatec steering wheel which makes the wheelbase enable force feedback.
Supplied with an OEM QR2 fitted. The bolts are only hand tight, you will need to remove the QR1 to attach to your wheel.
Please note that you cannot connect any wheel functions through the Emulator. Your wheel must connect directly to your PC either using wireless or a USB cable. Fanatec do not have any USB connections through the quick release. The Emulator is simply to allow attaching a Fanatec quick release and making the wheelbase give force feedback.
For a DIY or custom wheel we offer a Pro version of the Emulator. This will allow you to attach buttons, a Hat switch, gear shifters and even the Fanatec button addons. This is a different product although this version can be upgraded later if required.
Version 7 of the SRM Emulator allows the code on it to be changed via a USB cable. It is intended that you will be able to choose the Fanatec steering wheel you would like the emulator to show up as. The initial wheel will show as the Universal Hub V2

Notes and warnings
This is for PC use only - We do not expect it to work on an XBOX or PS4
The OEM QR may have very slight cosmetic blemishes but has been tested to be fully functional. These come unboxed from China to keep costs to a minimum.
The QR is attached to the Emulator by hand tightened bolts. This is to make it easy to remove if you need to attach the emulator to your wheel before re-fitting the QR. Please make sure you fully tighten the bolts before use.
Why is one pin shorter than the others?
This is not a mistake, it's something that Fanatec do too. The reason for it is so that before this pin connects to the wheelbase, the other pins are already connected. This pin is a ground and it tells the wheelbase that a new wheel is now attached and basically turns the wheel on.
