DATA PORT-C

The DataPort-C on the bottom of the Podium Hub is to connect compatible FANATEC ® peripherals with your wheelbase.
ATTENTION: It is NOT a USB data port and cannot transfer any data between a PC and any attached device that is not from Fanatec®.

ANALOGUE PADDLE MODES

To switch the Mode of your Podium Advanced Paddle Module you need to enter the Tuning Menu. This can be accessed using the FanaLab software, driver or a button/display module (sold separately). For further information about the APM Modes, please read the Quick Guide or Manual for the Podium Advanced Paddle Module.

ATTENTION: Download driver V336 or higher.

WHEEL COMPATIBILITY

Use M5 bolts with a maximum internal reach of 16 mm in order to avoid internal damage of the Podium Hub.  Fanatec Wheel Rims come with the correct bolts. If your wheel rim is not pre-drilled, you can use the drilling template for the Podium Hub.
