  4. V9 GEN2 Integration (Optional):

    2. Select the Action You Want to Bind: Choose the in-game action you want to assign to a button on the CB1. For example, in iRacing or Assetto Corsa, you might want to bind the wiper control or a pit stop button.

    3. Press the Button on the CB1: Once you’ve selected an action, press the corresponding button on the CB1 that you want to assign. The game will recognize the button press, and the action will be bound to that button.

    4. Test the Binding: After assigning the keys, test them in the game to make sure everything is functioning as expected. If needed, adjust the bindings within the game’s settings.
