Everything is beautifully made from very high quality Aluminium which is machined, lightly sandblasted and then anodised black.
This is a premium product both in quality and quantity of connections.
Why should I buy an SRM product rather than one of the ones from China?
We came up with the emulator solution and we understand the way Fanatec wheels work better than anyone else in the world. We understand the way Fanatec encrypts steering wheels and can apply proper code to work in the same way Fanatec does. The Chinese versions are hard coded with a single wheel's details using a very basic method.
Emulator general details
This product is the right choice if you have a FANATEC wheelbase but want to use a different (non Fanatec) steering wheel on it.
There are two things you need if you want to use a non Fanatec steering wheel on a Fanatec wheelbase.
- The physical connection (adding a Fanatec QR to a non Fanatec steering wheel)
- 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.
Simply attach a Fanatec QR1 or QR2 (Not included) to one side of the emulator and the other side to your steering wheel. Then you can use your wheel with the Fanatec wheelbase.
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
This product works with. these Fanatec wheel bases...
- Podium DD (25 Nm)
- Podium DD1 and DD2
- CSW all versions 1, 2 and 2.5
- CSL Elite Xbox and PS4 versions
- Older CSL
- CSL DD
- CSL DD Pro
- CS DD
- CS DD+
- If using the QR2 you will need the QR2 wheelbase part from Fanatec as well.
This is for PC use only - We do not expect it to work on an XBOX or PS4
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.
