It's funny, the F1 steering wheel is only recognized when I reinstall the QR firmware again. If I then put the steering wheel on it, the display lights up and is recognized immediately. But as QR version it shows 0.0.0.0 (and that's the only way it works). Even if I restart the Fanatec app it stays that way. I can then also drive with Sims and it is recognized.
When I switch off the base it is over again and it is then no longer recognizedwhether I leave it plugged in or power on it later. Before, it was enough to restart the base without the steering wheel and then plug in the steering wheel, but that no longer works anymore. Now the QR firmware has to be reinstalled every time and
Hello. For each response from Fanatec support it takes 4/5 days. When they give you the OK they will notify you by sending you a separate email with the RMA code which you must write visible on the package. I sent my Clubsport DD to support on January 5th, and it should arrive on Wednesday the 24th. Let's hope for the best. I will keep you informed if the problem has been resolved.
Our Clubsport DD + lasted one day. I changed settings in PC mode through my laptop, unplugged it, plugged it into our XBOX, hit the power switch a few times to change the mode to XBOX and it died. It won't turn on or hard-reboot. The McLaren GT3 wheel shows the Fanatec logo and that's it. You can't toggle out of it.
Thanks for letting us know it takes 4-5 days for a RMA from Fanatec. There doesn't seem to be any confirmation that the request was received either.
Hey guys finally i can say. Problem solved. It tooks a while and i have done 2 RMA´s instead i get a new Base and there ist no problem at all. Even the Firmware Update process works well.
Out of my first RMA cause of coile whining i had the same Problem (wont power on).. So i went to a second RMA process and get a new Base.
Sometimes xbox don't detect the base. But when it happens, i disconnect it from the power with a switch, remove the wheel from qr, power on again the base and connect again the wheel and xbox is detecting it again.
Be careful with press the power button more than 6 seconds to power off the base. I think that it briks the base .
Better disconnect the base from power with a switch.
I got my CS DD back from RMA (a new base) and it seems first, everything works fine with out of the box firmwares. But after Update to driver 455 then the issues again...
just noticed my F1 wheel will not be recognized after power off and on again when attached on the base.
When I plug out and in again then it works. After booting the QR Firmware shows the number 0.0.0.0 and when I plug out and in the wheel then it show 1.0.0.3 and the wheel will be reconized.
Tested with Driver 455 same result.
I think it's WQR Firmware bug. The very old firmware version 0.6.6.5 was fine. But the lowest version update fimrware Update with 454 is 1.0.0.3 and this is buggy.
I have an other question for you Xavier... With your new CS DD, if you start it without USB connected (just with the battery) , is it calibrate normaly ? Or nothing happened (just red light on power button and steering wheel don't moove ) ?

same here with my CS DD:

Thank you for the update Florian. I may try the second RMA.
Florian, wich firmware version update on your new base? Do you put version 455 or another?
Sorry i did not recognize you´re Message.
Yeah i am @455. i have first flashed without attached wheel.
Ok.Fanatec sends to me a new base.I'm waiting to receive it today.
I doubt to install driver version 455, but if you haven't problems maybe i'll upgrade to this.
Can you tell us ,Xavier,
Xavier, Can you tell us if all is right with your "new" CS DD with driver 455 ?
Thanks !
Yes, for the moment all is working fine.
Sometimes xbox don't detect the base. But when it happens, i disconnect it from the power with a switch, remove the wheel from qr, power on again the base and connect again the wheel and xbox is detecting it again.

did they send you another base and does it have any defects?
They send another base.
They send a new base.
I think is a firmware problem, not a base problem. We have to wait and update

Xavier, have you received a track number or something else in your orders page when Fanatec send you your new CS DD ?
They send me an email with the track number, and in my fanatec's account I have a new order only with the new base for free.
Thanks you !
