Fanatec csl elite F1 bundle for PS4

Hi everyone,
I recently bought this bundle and installed it but it looks like my ps4 does not recognize any of the fanatec products. The light on the wheelbase is blue and I guess thats what it should be.
If I go in game (F1 2020) the game does not seem to know this wheelbase is installed.
Before I had the logitech g29 which is a plug and play and it just worked the moment I plugged it in.
Now I've been searching on the internet and I see alot of people saying to install the drivers. I didn't know there were drivers for a console? So I found drivers on the fanatec website but when I want to download them from my ps4 it says that PS4 does not support the download. If I look at the driver file names, its a 32 and a 64 version, so I guess they are for pc users?
Can anyone help me with this? Would be greatly appreciated.

You have to install the drivers in your Windows PC.
Then, you have to plug you wheelbase to the PC and update the wheelbase firmware and wheel if necessary.
Does this mean with brand new CSL elite ps4 bundle that I will not be able to use it with PS5 without a PC to install drivers?
I don’t have access to PC where I am, being Mac only.
There are some workarounds to use Windows on a Mac using Bootcamp. I don't use a Mac at home, but surely you can find tutorials in YouTube.
thanks but that requires buying a copy of windows as well as partitioning the hard drive.
I have a hard time believing Fanatec would sell a PS4 wheel that doesn’t have at least some version of a driver installed (without at least explicitly stating it) Under non pandemic times, it wouldn’t be that big a deal to visit someone with a PC, but now it’s quite difficult.
For some reason the issue is fixed.
I tried the wheel on different games and was no problem. Then tried again on F1 2020 and suddenly the wheel was in the list. Really strange.
Maybe another question: With the loadcell pedal comes the different kind of "rubbers" you can use to make the loadcell feel harder or softer. Right now I'm using the softest and I can't press my brakes 100%. The game only registers about 60 when I press as hard as I can.
I can adjust the saturation of the break settings in game so I don't have to press that hard to get 100% but is there a way to have it softer?
Are there other people here with the loadcell pedal that find the softest rubbers really hard to press?
Use the BRF setting in your wheel to adjust the the desired pressure.
Thanks alot! Now i can press like I normally would and get 100%. You my hero!
Another question maybe. How long did it take to get used to the pedals. I'm coming from a logitech g29 and I was able to get reasonable times on most tracks with it. But with these pedals now, I'm at least 7 tenths slower and on some tracks even over a second or two seconds.
Another question maybe. How long did it take to get used to the pedals.
I can't answer because I don't use Fanatec pedals, just keep practicing and you'll get used to them, :)
