Fanatec Base Connects but Xbox Does Not Recognize Input

Fanatec Xbox compatibility depends on an Xbox-licensed steering wheel attached to a compatible base.

Why this happens

A base that works on PC does not itself provide Xbox licensing.

What to check

1. Check the steering wheel or hub for Fanatec's Xbox license.
2. Confirm the wheel and base quick-release versions physically match.
3. Select the supported Xbox mode and connect pedals through the base as directed.
