Connecting the GT Neo Steering Wheel Q: "SimPro Manager does not show my GT Neo steering wheel as connected." A: After securely attaching the wheel to the base, use the Quick Frequency Pairing feature to establish a connection. Quick Frequency Pairing Steps:

Press and hold the two buttons closest to the RPM light on the inner side of the steering wheel.

Hold until the button lights turn blue, placing the wheel into frequency pairing mode.

Once the lights return to normal, open SimPro Manager and confirm the connection status.

If pairing fails, connect the wheel via the supplied USB-C cable:

Connect the wheel to your PC using the USB cable.

When SimPro Manager shows the wheel as connected, click the Gear icon → Set as current base channel.

Disconnect the USB cable and reattach the wheel to the base. Wireless communication should now function normally.

Using the Absolute Value Encoder Function Q: "How do I use the absolute value encoder function on the GT Neo steering wheel?" A:

Press the 7-way funky switch on the left side of the steering wheel.

Turn the knob clockwise once to enter absolute value mode.

To return to standard incremental mode, repeat the same action but turn the knob counterclockwise once.

Note:

Due to hardware button limits on the Simagic Alpha series bases, only the top two knobs currently support absolute value mode. When connected via USB, all four knobs can be used freely. Calibrating the Clutch Paddles Q: "The clutch paddles on my GT Neo steering wheel aren’t inputting correctly." A: Perform a Clutch Paddle Calibration to reset the input response:

Push both 7-way funky switches upward until the steering wheel LEDs show a white breathing effect.

Press the left and right clutch paddles one after another.

Press any button on the steering wheel to save and complete calibration.
