Howdy! I've got an older CSL Elite (belt drive) and 2 pedals setup (black with single orange bumper for the brake). This has been used with my PlayStation 4 & 5 for a couple years. I wanted to upgrade to DD so I picked up a CSL 5nm DD base and pedals (same CSL Elite pedals but with a clutch & the load cell brake). This new setup is connected to a pc running ACC and AC while the old setup will stay on the PS5 for my son to play F1'25.

I had some weird issues with the new pedals not connecting to the PC through the fanatec app when plugged into the base. On a whim I used a usb-a cable from the pedals to the PC and voila, it recognized the pedals on the PC and I can tune, adjust etc.

I'm happy I have two rigs working but was curious if there's any advantage to using the rj12 cable to connect to the base? I can continue to troubleshoot, but didn't want to waste time if it wasn't worth the effort.
