Conversion Kit Plug and Play 6.2x
£138.00
Description
Plug in and play conversion kit for current Fanatec Wheels including the Podium Endurance Button Box
The 6.2x is the same as the 6x kit, but with additional hardware to support the Podium Endurance button box (BME). This requires two additional pins to be used and a couple of extra resistors. The kit will work on the same wheels as the 6x but also the BME, so you do not need this version unless you will use the button box.
The BME must be used together with either the Podium Hub, Universal Hub V2.
I can fit this kit to any Fanatec wheel in 3 minutes – So it should not take more than 5 minutes for most people.
This new version labelled 6.2x has the same electronics as version 5.2x 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.
- No need to open your steering wheel.
- Kit plugs onto the QR pins
- Firmly bolted to the QR pin plug
- New Coiled USB cables with standard micro–B USB plug
- USB cable clamp
- Easy to swap USB cables
- Available in Black and Red Anodized Aluminum
- 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 Kit includes…
- Version 6.7x PCB with female pin plugs
- Aluminum QR mounting either in Black or Red colour
- Coiled USB cable (Male A to male micro).
- 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
- 5 x M4 35mm CAP bolts

Awesome. Moved to Simucube 2 Pro, and already had some fanatec wheels so this is a great option. Easy to fit and don’t have to open the wheel is a big plus. All functionality within the fanatec control panel for the wheel and LEDs work great. Already put a second order in for my other fanatec wheel.

I’ve just moved from a Fanatec DD1 to a Simucube 2 Pro. There are many great wheel options for Simucube, but I love the Fanatec Podium Shifters and Endurance Button Module I already had.
I was skeptical about this conversion kit, but very happy to report it works as advertised. Install was pretty straightforward. Documents for installation could be a little clearer. The pictures are a bit misleading. But very happy with the 6.2x kit. Can’t wait to see how much more the improve the firmware. It’s already 90% of the functionality I had on a native Fanatec base.
