Hello everyone.

 The other day I went to update the firmware of my steering wheel but this failure.

Now it shows me that it has firmware 0. I try to update the steering wheel again, manually, but it tells me that it does not find the file...

Searching a bit through the forums, I found that they posted this firmware for the steering wheel.

https://forum.fanatec.com/search?Search=McL_2_0_V47


I try to update the firmware manually, I insert the file but it tells me that it is not valid.

 file but it tells me that it is not valid and that it needs an .EFF file.

I do not have this file.


Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

I opened a support ticket but I have not received a reply yet.

    Hello, good morning.

    What do you mean by restarting the base? Turning it off and on?


    The base works perfectly. It is detected without problems and functional.

    The problem is in the steering wheel. It doesn't even turn on the little screen it has, it doesn't show anything and what's more, I can't switch to Xbox mode which is really where I usually play.

    what i talk is that software may have issue by show correct firmware version, the base restart may help some scenarios.

    if it does not help then there is not much what you can todo self about that problem.

    Having researched online I have tried every suggestion but my GT3 wheel is also stuck on v0 firmware and no screen or buttons work. I have the .hex file but can't manually flash the firmware because of the 'requires a .EFF file' issue/error which prevents this. Other wheels work with by base by the way with no issue.

    Waited over three weeks for wheel to arrive but is useless to me, wasted nearly a week so far waiting for a response from support but nothing.

    Products are great (when they work) but software and support are a frankly a joke. Wish I'd gone with another brand.

    It's the steering wheel mate they won't admit though. Purchased my setup Nov last year GT Pro base with 8nm upgrade and CSL pedals, Mclaren GTS V2 wheel and a clubsport wheel spent 2k on this garbage. First three months the display stopped working on the Mclaren wheel had it repaired, after that it continuously disconnects when trying to use it, tried all the different ways to overcome this even in the last hour I put a new collar on the shaft and tightened to 15nm, it starts working then drops out with the famous color changing on the DD start button. Funny how the clubsport wheel doesn't miss a beat however the Mclaren is nothing but trouble and a useless waste of money. I'm thinking of selling off all my fanatec gear and starting fresh with Logitech pro, looks like they are coming out with a new ecosystem. Must say I am very disappointed with Fanatec and the way they treat everybody that has problems with their products not working as they should, seems like they skipped the concept development testing stage on this wheel and went straight to market.
