We are comparing two entirely different upgrades: a premium cosmetic overhaul for Asetek wheels and a budget-friendly utility cable to bridge Protosimtech pedals with third-party wheelbases. One targets high-end visual personalization, while the other solves a critical hardware connectivity gap.
Some users report an occasional calibration bug over RJ12 where custom pedal travel is not read, requiring a wheelbase restart. Additionally, the Asetek kit does not include matching aluminum thumb rotaries, which leaves the visual upgrade feeling incomplete to some.
The SimNet RJ12 cable requires you to calibrate your pedals on a PC via SimNet Manager before connecting to a console wheelbase. Also, connecting to Thrustmaster bases might require a physical modification due to clip alignment differences on the RJ12 ports.
If you want to customize your Asetek wheel and do not drive in VR, the $89.00 Aluminum Button Color Kit offers a premium tactile upgrade. However, if you need to connect SimNet SP Pro pedals to a third-party wheelbase, the $6.60 SimNet RJ12 cable is an essential, budget-friendly utility despite its minor calibration quirks.
