Hi
I the new F1 2020 clubsport sterring wheel have a new magnetic paddle shifter.
This module will be available separately in Q3 for €99.95. But can we mount module on universal hub ? podium hub ?
thank you for response.

Its compatible to every wheel which supports the APM.
Good
Thank you.
The 2mm paddles on the APM have some flex on them (most noticeable on the big + - GT ones), will you make available a new version of just the carbon paddles to get rid of that flex? I'd be really interested as I always think I might break them if used too far off axis with a bit of force
I've seen the new paddles are 3mm thick, thats the reason of the question
If I see the messages of people that already have a review sample. The new shifters use the old 2-pin connector. That would mean it’s compatible with much more wheels. So also wheels that don’t support APM module. Like the older Formula Carbon or current Formula E-sport.
I’m very curious if they will include GT paddles like with the APM. Would be a nice upgrade for my Universal Hub.
no, the MPM uses the same connector as the APM and not the old 2pin connector from the default spring-based shifters.
Why it wouldn'r support original un.hub or original F1? It is just on/off switch/shifter and every 3rd party magnetic shifter works in un-hub v1 too. In any case, when these are available I'll order 3-4 of them to get all my wheels magnetic shifters.
Do not understand why you would need to use a 6-pin connector for a two wire signal?
I think that if needed it would be easy to mod them to 2-pin. Just cut wires and attach new connectors. They will be cheaper than ie SRM's carbon shifters so even with modification they should be worth it.
I had similar thought. Except instead of cutting wires , remove pins from 6-pin and re- installing in 2-pin from existing shifter. Since the sockets are the "same size", I have done similar on PC components. The removal is finicky/tricky to do without damaging the pins, but not impossible. I guess we will have to wait until someone, who owns a F1 2020, receives it and kindly takes the end cap off for pictures.
Not gone work the old shifter connectors are larger and have a bigger pitch. So you need to change the pins also.
You can see on the Instagram of Sim Racing Garage that it uses the new connector and that it is a smaller connector as used for the old pedals.

Yes, the outter dimensions of the female 6-pin connector is smaller than the 2-pin female, but the pin size and pitch appear the same to me (zoomed photo and measured pin spacing (pitch) , pin size and pin female slot width appear the same. My bigger question is why 6 wires instead of 2 wires if it only a "automotive-quality breaker switch" ???? What is purpose of the other 4 wires. We need more info ... it is little hard for me to believe Fanatec would want to miss out on the sells opportunity to retro-fit older UHX models, Esports F1 and CS F1 Aluminum/Carbon rims. 🙄
It's Q3, how long before these paddles are available in Australia?
Q3 has another 1,5 months and release is scheduled to the END of Q3 according to the webshop description:

So was anyone able to fit these to the older (discontinued) Universal HUB ? I was just about to order a few sets before realizing this issue :(
I want to know if they fit onto the static paddle clubsport kit??
