I still don't like how the kill switch isn't included with the DD1.

[Mikey]

A little late....Fanatec. Lol

For others buying a DD2 or the Kill Switch for the DD1 please take this advice.

Pro tip: Use the kill switch at your pedals. If your arm is snagged in the wheel. How are you going to hit the emergency stop?

Why Is the csl elite f1 set now at 699€?

[madzangels]

Got my entire Fanatec rig today so excited, and then the only thing that didn't turn up was the DD1 :( I have to wait 24 more hours...It's like your teasing me Fanatec!!

[chrisjohnson]

Ill be back in a yr or 2 when Fanatec Masters the software and quick release. Loved my DD2. Cant wait to get another one

Quality video by @amstudio. Good choice Fanatec!

[nilsgrenholm]

I dont have a A button on my wheel to calibrate with, why is it so impossible to find info on how to calibrate and setup the actual gear you have bought from Fanatec! really shitty tbh. Even on there site i can not find the information i need linked to the products i have.

[antonhesse]

what a master piece. in south Africa we don't get this. i had to be happy with a logitech g29 and g920 with my ps4 and xbox 1.i had no choice. the thrustmaster wheels are a bit better, but far from Fanatec. i don't have to test a wheel to see if it is quality. the build quality and interchangeable says it all. i hope i can one day get a test on a fanatec wheel.this is the best wheel on the marked to date to buy.a steering wheel works like F1.look at the lap times of drivers.a good driver with a bad wheel will never get close to a bad driver(not the entry level drivers.i meam a driver that is not rank in the top 10 of a certain track ect. Just imagine driving a logitech g29 wheel and suddenly you upgrade to a fanatec wheel.Your driving will improve with 2 seconds a lap.trust me on that. i am not saying Logitech is bad, they are value for money, but not in a class on fanatec wheels. there is actually no better wheel than fanatec. pls come to South Africa.

My DD2 doesn’t center when I power on the base. It’s slightly off, maybe at the 12:04 position. I’ve calibrated it a few times. Anyone else?

[simonchidgey]

why doesn t said unit come with mounting screws....$2.00 worth of screws???

[Kidz]

Hi, Where can I buy Clamping ring??? Thanks

[AKT]

Can anyone tell me what the difference is with this "new" RJ12 cable for the pedals compared top the pedals one?

[bizzlea]

Very informative, but do you offer any kind of bracket or brace for those of us who do not have a Sim rig? I have to mount mine on a desk but don't really see any way that would work with the DD2

[ktwbit]

How do i mount the killswitch to the shifter?

[luissandoval]

Hi where do you get the bracket to mount the kill switch, or handbrake at?

[quellidelgameplay]

I got a question: what If I got just a desk and not the entire cockpit, I can still set it on it?

[heavyrocknroll]

Can the DD1/DD2 easily mounted onto the Obutto R3volution cockpit?

[yungdadi]

So no podium software and no podium Porsche button box ? What a shame

[meisterp]

It would be great if some kind of key was developed for the DD1/DD2 and maybe for the DD to use with the PS4/5 as well. Similar to the Torque Key, except that you then plug it into the data port or can port. I think many would welcome it and would be happy to pay for it, of course. Especially in view of the approaching competition from Logitech and Trustmaster. I'll register as a test pilot ;-)

[dutchinfinity]

Allright, there is no info on this. I didnt want to ask it here... but im intrested in these 2 direct drives. Question is about the quickrelease ... do you sell a solid release system as in mounting the wheel with screws tight instead of the fast release system with a rubber squeeze thingy holding it almost solid.
