Wii (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

[Xi]

Hi, I recently bought a Wii Wheel. However I tried everything just can't make it work.

When I plug into the USB stick, the built in light kept on flashing. And the light is off during the game loading. 

While in the game(NFS Undercover), nothing happens after I pressed the buttons and rotated the wheel.

I noticed there's a button on the usb stick, but can't find any instructions about it.

Could anyone help me out of this?

Thanks.

Well, let's do a logical rundown.

When you plug in the AC adapter, does the wheel move to center?

Yes, the wheel moves to the center when I plug in the AC Adapter.

What should I do next? 

Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it.

Hi,

I am in the exact same situation. Wheel moves to the center when plugged in. Green light flashes on USB stick. Any news?

I apologize for my delay in responding. I've been slammed and completely forgot about this thread.

It sounds like the wheel might need to be reconnected. After powering everything on, press the button on the receiver, then press one of the face buttons on the right side of the wheel, and it should connect.

Hi Charles,

I have tried to power on in the following order. Wii power on, Plug in power for the Wheel, Plug in USB. Press button on USB. Press button on face of the wheel. The result is: green light still flashes on the USB and wheel does not appear to connect. There is a green light on the top of the wheel that is steady on. I have also tried reversing the order of powering the USB and then the wheel but it has the same result. I wonder if I need to exchange the wheel?

Thanks for your response,

Steve

Are you using it wiht Need for Speed undercover?  As far as I know that is the only game the wheel works with as it needs support built into the game.

It was a nice idea, but so far doesn't look like the game developers have supported it.

I ended up getting Dirt 2 (I had heard that it works with the Speed Force Wheel) and it does work with the game but the light still blinks. Anyway, the NFS Undercover I have is one of the first ones ever released. I was thinking that perhaps they did not include the Speed Force Wheel driver in the game. On a whim, I was able to get another NFS undercover from eBay really cheap and this game seems to work with it too. It would be nice if Logitech would update their compatible games list.

I just purchased both the Logitech Speed Force wheel and the NSF undercover. The wheel is not being recognized by the wii at all.  I have the same problem as everyone else. The green light on the usb flashes and I have the green light on the wheel. I've powered the Wii down changed outlets. I've held down the 1 button and the button on the usb. I tried every button on the front, even the home key. If there's buttons must  be pressed shouldn't instructions be included? I've even pressed the sync button on the WII nothing is working. What should I do?

I have exactly the same problem with this wheel.
