V2 Pedals / ghost handbrake issue

Hi there - I've found out that RFI on the RJ12 cable is a real problem. I connected my v2 pedals direct to a new DD1, via PS/2<->RJ12 cable that I used to use with my CSRE.

The pedals are detected fine, but in the Fanatec Wheel Property Page, I see a flickering handbrake signal, even though I have nothing plugged into the handbrake port on the DD1.

I can plug my pedals direct into the PC via USB, but ideally I'd like to plug into the DD1 so that I can use the ABS vibrator on the pedals. But Fanatec don't sell a PS/2 <-> RJ12 cable with the ferrite cores needed to eliminate RFI (there is a filtered RJ12<->RJ12 cable in the DD1 box, but the v2 pedals only have PS/2 and USB).

Any suggestions? Has anyone found a filtered PS/2<->RJ12 cable that works with Fanatec gear?


Thanks

David

    Have you tried a retrofit RFI filter on your existing cable?

    These are available e.g. from Amazon in all types of diameters and forms, just search for "RFI filter"...

    Ah, hadn't thought of that! I'll give it a go...
