How to change the PS5-unlicensed FANATEC Wheelbase Compatible with PS5?
A smart man discovered the way to use unlicensed FANATEC with PS5 by using a non-SONY-made wired controller.

Of course, you can use the gear directly with PS5 if the wheelbase is a PS4-licensed FANATEC Product such as the 2 products below.
Even if you have Non-PS4&PS5-licenced FANATEC products, using the Drive Hub solves the problem for you.
Though this is my guess, the CSL DD also may be compatible with the PS5 by using this method.
Because non-licensed Fanatec CSL, CSW, and DD are applicable. Please wait till someone will try.
It can make unlicensed FANATEC and logicool wheels compatible with PlayStation 4 (PS4) and actually Playstation 5(PS5). But it isn’t officially compatible with PlayStation 5 (PS5).
If you use the Drive Hub with the PS5 for the PlayStation4 or PlayStation 5-unlicensed FANATEC, maybe the connection between FANATEC and PS5 will be disconnected in about 10 minutes. This is considered that the PS5 will cut the Bluetooth connection between PS5 and a controller in 10 minutes after leaving it. So if we prepare the wired controller, the connection to the PS5 may last forever.
A man bought the HORI wired PS4-compatible controller and just connected the Drive Hub instead of using SONY made PS5 controller.
As a result, he confirmed the continuous operation of Grand Tourismo Sport for more than 30 minutes without disconnection with the below system.
PS5 + DriveHub + Fanatec CSL Elite V1.1 (PS4/5 Non- licensed) + Hori’s Wired Controller Light for PS4 (Wired Controller)
For CSL Wheel Base V1.1, I recommend Mclaren GT3 V2 Wheel due to its high-cost performance.
Also, other Japanese confirmed no problem with the below combination
PS5 + Drivehub + Fanatec DD1(PS4/PS5 Non-licensed) + PS4 wired controller
For Podium DD, I recommend Wheel which has Quick Release (QR) system such as Formula V2 Wheel to endure DD’s high torque. It’s better to avoid purchasing Mclaren GT3 V2 Wheel, WRC Wheel, and CSL Universal Hub considering the rigidity of the simplified QR system.
