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.

Which kit do I need?

Please be aware that the new Fanatec Porsche Vision GT wheel will NOT work with any existing conversion kit. So please don't ask which kit you need.

I do not get any priority on getting Fanatec wheels.  I have to order them when they are available.  I have two wheels on order and will see if I can convert it once they arrive.  There is no guarantee that I will be able to get the wheel working.
Update: 25th April 2025
A couple of the Porsche Vision GT wheels have arrived and I'm working on them now.  Hopefully I will know if it's a quick or more complex conversion later today.
