NEW WRC XBOX WHEEL NOT WORKING WITH CSL ELITE PS4

Hi,just bought the new WRC wheel for the csl elite PS4 from fanatec so I could also race on Xbox one.attached the wheel and locked it in place with the new quick release and powered the base up.on start up the wheel does its standard wheel right and wheel left then centre and the revleds light up ALL EXCEPT THE 3 BLUES.no display from the indicator that shows speed and the Xbox is not registering that the wheel is connected in settings.no buttons work.....nothing.tried re-attaching 3 times and nothing.attached my p1 PS4 wheel and that all works fine with PS4.i have tried pressing the mode button as the green led did not light up for Xbox mode and it only flashed green and red once I held the mode button for 4 or 5 seconds.really stumped as to whether I’m doing something wrong.the wheelbase is 2 months old and the firmware was checked in July and was up to date.

can anyone help or have any suggestions.i have tried fanatec support but have had no response as yet and don’t have any faith that they will respond soon based on other customer service comments I’ve read on internet.

any suggestions would be grateful.

thanks.

    You already updated to driver v374? And updated firmware of your base to the included version of the driver v374?

  • Pasqual

    I asked a friend at work to see if the wheel needed an update but I haven’t updated the base unit.forgive my lack of knowledge on this topic but do I need to check the firmware on the base even though it was up to date in July?

  • Yes because a new version was released when the wheel got available a few weeks ago. So your July version will be outdated to support the new WRC wheel.

    So update to the firmware included in the v374 driver which you can find on the download page of the WRC Wheel.

    ** All sorted !! , open Fanatec Wheel Property Page , select CSL Elite and do a firmware update through that and it will fix it all up , you will need to calibrate the wheel again. hope this helps

    Hi Murat, did you update the wheel base firmware using the 374 driver?

  • Hi, I just got the WRC wheel for my CSL Elite PS4 base but when trying to update the wheel base firmware it fails every time. In the updater instructions box it says "click connect button" and in the message logs box it says " CSL Elite PS4 Wheel Base Detected" if i click Flash Firmware the green bar fills then in message logs it says "No Response from the device. Operation failed" Has anyone else had this problem? I sent a support request over 2 days ago but still waiting. Previous to this i had no problems using it with F1 wheel on PS4 and PC (windows 10, 64 bit).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

  • I got a different proflem. I ordered the wrc wheel and a handbrake. i've installed the firmware, callibrated. Everything works fine on the property page. Works as intented on assetto corsa, on gran turismo sport i only have sequential and handbrake, on DiRT i only have sequential no handbrake. I can't seem to get the H shifter to work on gran turismo and dirt, i callibrated multiple times but they worked fine in the past. Could this be firmware issue?

    Any help is welcome. Thank you.

  • Ich habe das WRC auch heute bekommen, alle Treiber und Updates installiert, und es funktioniert der F1 Rim, und der Mclaren Rim auch, nur beim WRC Rim ist der Wurm drin. Hin und wieder wird es als P1 Rim PS4 erkannt und es funktioniert keine Taste. Oder es leuchtet nur der Streifen oben. Und sonst nix keine Anzeige auf der Testseite


  • Hi Torsten,

    Please right in English as per forum regulations so more users can understand and maybe try to to help you.

    When you say that you have done all the updates have updated to driver 374 with all the related firmwares as per the instructions in Fanatec website on the download section for the WRC wheel?

  • Yes i've installed the driver 374 on my Pc,and flash the firmware on the dd1 + my 2 other rim,but the wrc rim isn't appear at the property software, or sometimes as the ps4 p1 Rim but no button works. It shows no Rim Update on the Property Page for WRC ether. When i start the Base with this Rim the Wheel Icon on the Base its also missing.


  • Better contact support through your account in Fanatec site. 


    Did you also flash the wheel (like you did for your other 2) and still shows as P1? 

  • I've contact them 1st. They haven't answer till yet.

    I have updated my CSL E to the 374 in prep for my WRC wheel arriving tomorrow. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the new bRi, or bR1 setting in the wheel tuning menu. It is defaulted to off, but seems to have 1% increments. I haven't been able to find mention of it anywhere.

  • Most probably you mean the BLI setting formerly known as ABS. Got renamed because the name was confusing and it had nothing to do with Telemetry based ABS.

  • Hi. I'm having similar issues with my CSL Elite PS4 base and CSL WRC Wheel. I've installed firmware update 374 multiple times, and flashed the wheel base with and without the wheel installed. Initially, it seems like things work: the wheel can be recalibrated and lights appear correctly. But when I switch to Xbox mode, the white light above the Xbox "Home" button lights for about 5 seconds, and then the whole wheel freezes. No communication with the Xbox; unable to shut the wheel off with the power button; all buttons remain unresponsive. I have to restart the base by unplugging it.

    When I swap out the WRC wheel for a PS4 F1 wheel, the base works normally with 2020 F1 on the PS4.

    Any help is appreciated. I've reached out to Fanatec support but have yet to hear back from them.

    Thank you!

  • Hi All,

    Unfortunately I’m having similar issues here. Using the WRC wheel with the CSL Elite on a PS4. Updated to V374 drivers and at first all seems fine but then the shifters and buttons stop working after 20-30 seconds of gameplay. The FF also cuts out but I can still steer. Then after another 20-30 seconds it all comes back again only to repeat the issue again. After a few minutes the entire base shuts down and I have to unplug and restart to get it working again. As soon as I put the F1 wheel back on the base all works perfectly. I’ve tried several games all with the same outcome. Hope it’s just a software issue that can be fixed with a future update.

    if anyone has a fix please ket us know.

  • Hi

    Facing the same problem as Tom and Karl above. Any solutions yet?

    Thanks

  • WRC wheel not working in Project Cars 2, buttons work but wheel and pedals not able to calibrate or get ant movement to show. Playing on steam, works fine on Dirt Rally and F1 2018, on steam.

    Hello all,

    Also having exactly the same problem. WRC wheel not working at all on PS4 except for controller functions on WRC 9.

    Am on latest firmware on wheel base and steering wheel firmware is still 1 despite updates.

    F1 Esports Rim works perfectly fine.

    Worth noting the digital display reads "A" when plugged in and loaded into the game. Game doesn't recognise the wheel at all.

    Dirt Rally doesn't recognise the wheel at all as a controller, won't even start the game.

    Tired with Project Cars 2 and Nascar Heat 5 and woprks but throttle appears to stop working.

    CSL Elite Wheel base in PS4 mode.

    Wheel comes up fine on PC app.

  • Hi did you sort your wheel out after I have the same delivered today wrc xbox wheel but I have playstation need help don't want to send it back cheers

  • Hi I am wondering the same

    Only two buttons work on the PS4, the x box button works as the playststation button and the b as the ps4 x. Theses only work outside of a game, nothing works in either GT Sport or F1 2020.

    the wheel responds to the basic tests in the firmware update software.

    latest firmware etc, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    p.s. Does anyone have a list of which button does what for the WRC wheel on the PS4, Fanatec will not provide a list.

  • Ive got an similar problem with my today delivered DD1. On My CSL Elite (Firmware 3.99)everything works fine with the WRC Wheel, but the DD1 wants to Update the steering wheel. In the Update Screen no update shows.


    Someone got an Idea?

  • I am all sorted, turns out there is a new update file (400) I had only checked under the csl elite + wheelbase which did not have the file listed.

    the file listed under the WRC wheel had the new firmware for the wheel and base.

  • I think h-pattern only works with cars that have h-pattern in real life. I remember having this same issue, and I think that was the reason. Paddle shifters work with every car and some games recognize the sequential mode on the fanatec shifter as the paddle shifters. Thats why that works. Most people dont end up buying any other shifter than the paddle shifters the wheels come with so Im sure Polyphony feels confident they covered all the bases.


    H-pattern integration is very upsetting in most games. Its a pain to get it working in some games. Really wish there was more H-patterns on the market...
