Why is Xbox series S not detecting steering wheel Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider?

The version you are using is the old RW Ferrari 458 Racing Wheel that is compatible with xbox 360 and not compatible with xbox one.

The new version Thrustmaster VG Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel is compatible with Xbox One.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Expert, and I'll do my best to help you.

It's possible that the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider steering wheel is not compatible with the Xbox Series S, or it may need to be configured properly in order for it to work with Forza 5. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Check compatibility: Make sure the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider is compatible with the Xbox Series S by checking the product specifications on the manufacturer's website or in the product manual.

Update the firmware: If the steering wheel has a firmware update available, make sure to update it to the latest version.

Connect the wheel properly: Make sure the wheel is connected to the Xbox Series S properly and securely.

Configure the wheel in the game: Some games may require you to manually configure the wheel settings in order for it to work properly. Check the game settings to see if there is an option to configure the wheel.

Contact the manufacturer: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the wheel for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or support.

If the wheel is not compatible with the Xbox Series S, you may need to consider purchasing a wheel that is specifically designed to work with the console.

I forgot to mention my steering wheel control is a ferrari 458 spider for xbox one

Hi Phil seychell,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

I understand that you would like to use your Ferrari 458 spider on Windows 10 PC. Upon doing research as per article My Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel does not work on my PC - Thrustmaster - Technical support website. The Ferrari 458 Spider is not supported by Windows platforms, and there are no drivers for it to work on Windows. Windows computers may detect the wheel and some of its buttons might work, but it will not be fully functional.

Been hoping a wheel comes out at a good price myself. Just seen in amazon (uk) that the thrustmaster Ferrari 458 spider racing wheel is for sale there now for under £90. I'm feeling very tempted!!
