CSL DD non compatibility with PS5

I dont know exactly on how to start this off but here it goes..
I got my CSL DD around November last year. The CSL DD Pro got announced in February 2022. All cool so far.
Out of recent luck, i got my hands on a PS5 with GT7. Only to find out my Wheelbase isnt usable on PS5. So either, I play with Controller, while sitting next to my Setup like a sad Blobb, or i buy on a Technical Level same Wheelbase i already have, just to be able to play GT7. Or i go ahead, and buy a third party Product called Drivehub witch A. costs too much, for it not working 100% all the Time and properly.
If some Hobby Programmers are able to make my Wheelbase work on a PS5, why is it, that Fanatec isnt able to sell an Adapter, Software, or some kind of Link, so i can use my Wheelbase on the PS5 too. Why do i have to either resort to janky 3rd Party Hardware, or have to spend another 600€ On the same Wheelbase i already own.
To be brutally honest, it really bothers the hell out of me. And i wont buy one of those Plastic Bombers called Logitech or Thrustmaster wheels. Thats for sure.
I really wish and hope Fanatec comes around and provides something for this issue, even if it costs 200+, but it really seems like i need to resort to 3rd Party Hardware. And I really, really dont wanna do that tbh.

Because of licensing.
Buy the GT DD PRO or buy the Drivehub. That's your only options. There wont be an Adapter from Fanatec to make not licensed PS bases PS compatible, that would void the contract with Sony.
And it was clear from Day 1 that the CSL DD is not and never will be PS compatible, so you knew that before you bought it.
Then just release a Licensed Adapter for it? Let em earn some with it too, and all is good. Let it cost 300€ just for it to be licensed.
Not possible, not happening.
Alright MegaMind
First, there is no CSL DD PRO, it’s the GT DD PRO. Second, the GT DD PRO was not announced in February 2022, it was announced in November 2021. If you “only found out” your wheelbase wasn’t PlayStation compatible then you obviously didn’t do very much research before making your purchase.
You need to sell your unit through forum sales and after that order the ps5 one, sony is the way to go my friend.....
It is not that Fanatec does not want do as you requested...
Sony is who you need to ask why they do not allow. Send Sony an email and see what they say.
