I had a similar problem and finally found a solution. I created a thread about this topic and posted what worked for me. This is the post:
„It finally worked!
Long story short: it appears to be the original cable needs to be plugged in directly into PC.
Because my SimRig is far away from my PC I used to use an USB 3.0 extension which has always worked with my DD Pro before. I needed to dissemble my DD+ from my SimRig to get it close enough to the PC.
I erased all Fanatec hardware from hardware manager. I uninstalled Fanatec Control Panel. Several restarts inbetween to make sure to start from scratch. I also cleaned my regsitry just in case…
I powered on DD+ in PC Mode. I plugged in original Fanatec USB cable to a USB 3.0 Port of my mainboard. Driver was successfully installed. Wheel Base appeared as Gamecontroller in Hardware Manager (as container). I installed driver 455. I has to restart my PC. Wheel Base still plugged in and powered on. After restart I opened Fanatec Control Panel and started Firmware Manager. This time it ran through. It showed several USB disconnections but reconnected successfully again.
So possible causes might be:
Thanks Buddy! It was a USB 2.1 Port not the 3.0.
THX so Much
There really needs to be a USB 3.0 or greater hardware check in the Fanatec software/firmware BEFORE it allows you to continue.
To many customers are being tripped up, causing some to brick their damn wheelbases unnecessarily.
