I have not personally seen an update on this myself. I reached out about it though. Once we get an update on it, we will post it here for you!
Thanks!

Game is still incompatible with DD Extreme wheel, which was released on February 9th, 2024. It's been nearly ONE YEAR.
I have supported and defended the game on message boards and forums since it's initial release. I can no longer do so. This is categorically unreasonable.
I've been unable to play the game significantly longer than I was able to play it.
Message I received from Fanatec's Level 2 tech support earlier today:
"Good morning (redacted),
Today, I got the needed feedback regarding your problem. What I initially asumed in your case has now been confirmed.
Our IT/Development department is already aware of the fact that the GT DD X steering wheel has not yet been implemented by the game developer. (emphasis mine)
We´ve just forwarded this once more, according to your case, but have to kindly ask you for your understanding, that we can not influence this any further, as sorry as we really are. Therefore, we unfortunately have to wait until the steering wheel will being updated by EA WRC. (again, mine)
If you have any else questions in the meantime, please don´t hesitate to let us know. Otherwise, we will now close this ticket as solved. If you will ever experience another error with your items, just create a new support ticket via your Fanatec-Shop account, and we will gladly assist you, shortly."
This is a problem on your end, EA. Do better.
Same issue here.
Device:- Fanatec 15Nm DD+ GT Extreme Wheel
It's an officially licenced PS5 wheel so EA WRC need to do better with this, especially as Fanatec sponsor the WRC and they've released the replica Ford M-Sport wheel to use with these wheel bases.
The base is incorrectly recognised as a 5Nm/8Nm GT DD Pro Wheel.
Please understand the difference between the wheel bases as they are totally different.
CSL GT DD Pro 5Nm/8Nm - Works fine.
DD+ GT Extreme 15Nm - BROKEN
Throttle/Brake work, and steering recognised OK, but.....
No Force Feedback
No menu control (need to use PS5 controller for menu work)
No paddle shift
No handbrake
