Hi Ensonic. I am very interested in how you did this mod. I have a possibility of picking up a BMW 3 series e46 shifter for a good price but i am concerned about my ability to carry out the mod to convert it for sim racing.
Do you have a construction video or instructions so that i can check whether i think it is in my ability to take this project on or do yo have any ideas as to whether it is possible to carry it out with the shifter i have listed.
it MUST be a STEPTRONIC Shifter. Only with this version you can shift up / down seq. in real life. We use it's two microswitches. Only connect the cables coming from these switches to a USB Controller (Brodnar, are one from a cheap USB gamepad )
lol, i am just trawling the iRacing cockpit forums and i have found yours there.. If i need help i may fire questions at you on the iRacing forums instead.
1st question is can i wire the micro switches to a ps2 cable and connect it straight to thr port on my Fanated PWTS instead of using a USB gamepad or bodnar board?
hi mal ne frage ich hab gesehn im virtual racing forum das du es an einem fanatec dran hast wie hast du den anschluss zum fanatec gemacht mit den original kabel von den shifter die man bei fanatec kaufen kann ? oder gibts da ein anderen weg weil ich will mir nich erst die normalen kaufen will nur für die kabel ....
Im Original Shifter ist ja eine normale PS2 Buchse wie sie auch für PCs verwendet wird. Diese einfach bei Conrad oder so bestellen und anhand der Pinbelegung die im Forum ist anschließen. Kostet dich nur 2 Euro. Kabel ist ein normales PS2 Kabel auf beiden Seiten männliche Stecker.
Ensonic,
I noticed you post at the iracing forums. I have hit an issue with the shifter i bought and would appreciate your input.
Can i ask that you pop over to the iracing forums and have a look at my thread called
"Sequential Shifter Build Assistance" in the Hardware section on the iRacing forums.
Cheers
Marcus.

Thanks for the quick reply Ensonic. I have pulled the trigger on a BMW M3 E46 Steptronic Shifter so hopefully this will be ok.
I will pick up a cheap gamepad and connect to it initially. However i think as long as that works i may pick up a Bodnar board.
If you think it will not work can you let me know.
Cheers
