The following steps are for using Drive Hub with a wheel that does not normally work with your console platform of choice:
Ensure you have read the Updating Firmware page.
With your controller powered off, make a wired connection to Drive Hub's "Controller" port. Ensure any cable you source is of high quality & certified for data transfer, and connect the appropriate controller for your console:
Xbox Series X|S® / Xbox One®: Standard Xbox Wireless Controller®.
PlayStation®4: Standard DualShock®4 V2 (CUH-ZCT2) Controller.
PlayStation®5: Supported PS4® Specialty Controller; Hori® Mini Pad, Hori® Octa, Nacon® Compact, or Razer® Raiju.
Where possible, connect any accessories that already work with your wheel to the wheel itself.
If present, set the mode switch on your wheel accordingly; non-native Fanatec® wheels must be switched to PC mode, Logitech® G29 wheel must be switched to PS4® mode, etc.
Connect your non-native wheel to Drive Hub's "Wheel/Controller" port.
If you have an additional accessory, connect it to Drive Hub's "Accessory" port.
To connect more than one accessory, connect a powered USB hub (one that plugs into the wall) to the "Accessory" port. Power issues usually manifest as disconnections, and Force Feedback (FFB) dropping out.
Connect the included 6ft Micro USB cable to Drive Hub's "Console" port, and then connect the other end to your console.
Your controller will automatically turn on, going through its usual connection sequence, before remaining on. Drive Hub will begin calibration, displaying the wheel's model number on Drive Hub's display (e.g. Logitech G27 will be displayed as G-2-7) before indicating it is successfully connected.
An E (or backwards "3") on Xbox®/PS5®/PS4® means Error and is likely a cable issue somewhere. A bad or power only cable is the most common culprit. Check to see if all connected ports are lit up on the back of the Drive Hub. Try other cables if you have to.
For Logitech® wheel users on PS4/5®, if you want to use a handbrake, you will need to switch to LogiFan mode (FFF) which will be covered on the next page.
When converting a non-native wheel, Drive Hub is emulating a supported wheel of your console, and it is this wheel that will show up in your game. Drive Hub can only scale to what is there. Advanced wheel features may be unavailable, and as conversion scaling can never be 1:1, it is normal to expect differences in feel from when you use your wheel in its native environment.
Please be aware wheels do not support headsets! This means a non-functional 3.5mm audio port on any controller connected to Drive Hub for the purpose of authenticating a non-native wheel. You will need to use another solution, such as a wireless headset or USB wired headset if supported.
For Xbox®/PS5®/PS4®, successfully connected is a solid zero .
PRESS the P1 button to the left of the Gearhead on the Drive Hub to reboot it & recalibrate your wheel. Do not touch anything during the calibration sequence. It is now ready to use.
For Fanatec® wheel users on PS4/5®, PRESSING the P1 button will automatically switch to the native Fanatec® protocol mode (F) for an optimal experience; saving this setting for future use. For certain older games, the wheel will not work in this mode, and you will need to switch to FanaLogic mode (L) instead. Both modes will be covered on the next page.
