5. Connecting and Pairing DRC

5. Connecting and Pairing Your DRC

The DRC provided to you has the option of working wirelessly or using a coaxial cable to provide a wired connection. The wired connection acts as an antenna and is useful for environments where there is a lot of wireless noise, or if you have many systems in a close proximity. It does not provide power to or automatically sync the DRC.

  1. (Wired Only) Using the included coaxial cable, connect the DRC to the DRC1 port on the Right Side of the CAT-DEV.



  2. Set the DRC switch on the Front of the system to your preferred choice.



    The BT switch is for Bluetooth connections. Set this to Wireless, as this setting will only affect the controllers that use Bluetooth, such as the Wii Remote Controller and the Wii Balance Board. Having this switched to Wired will make it more difficult to sync those types of controllers.
  3. On the DRC itself, set the switch to your preferred settings.



  4. Holding down the L and ZL Buttons at the same time, press the Power button on the DRC. This will open the DRC's settings menu (DK Menu). Now select 'System Settings'.



  5. Using Left or Right on the + Control Pad, select either Wired or Wireless. Press the B Button and select 'Exit' when you're finished.



  6. In the System Config Tool on the CAT-DEV, select Wii U GamePad (DRC) Setting.
  7. Select Pair DRC. A display box will appear that shows a four character PIN Code.



  8. While the PIN code is displayed on the screen, power on your DRC by pressing the Power Button located on controller.

    A Nintendo racetrack logo will appear. Press the small red Sync button on the back of the DRC, just below the battery cover. You may want to use the Wii U Gamepad's Stylus to accurately press the sync button.

  9. After pressing the Sync button, the DRC will display a PIN entry screen. Enter the same PIN that is displayed on your Television.

    NOTE: Depending on the firmware installed on the GamePad, the DRC screen may have a 10-digit keypad rather than the four symbols. In this case, enter the PIN code displayed in the parenthesis to the right of the symbol PIN code displayed on-screen.

    If the pairing fails, ensure that the Wired/Wireless settings are set correctly. Also, if you are using a wired connection, be sure that the coaxial cable is tightly attached.

    If the DRC is paired, the 'Firmware Version' field will display the version information of both the DRH (the CAT-DEV-side of the connection) and the DRC itself. If no DRC is attached then only the DRH information will be displayed.

  10. If the DRC is attached and there is an update to the firmware available, an option to update the firmware will be displayed.



    Select the Update DRC firmware option to update the firmware on the DRC. A progress bar will appear displaying the update progress. Be sure that the DRC is not low on battery power when updating.

    If your DRC displayed the number pad when pairing, this firmware update will take a bit longer than normal. The progress bar will reach 100%, but it will take a little while longer before control is regained. You will also need to re-pair the DRC after this update, as the update will break the pairing connection.

    The amount of time necessary to perform the update may vary. A normal update will only take a couple of minutes and would not require pairing the DRC again. In this specific case, the update may take around 10 minutes to complete.

  11. If listed, select Update WOWL Firmware as well. This is a short update that will disappear when complete.

    At this point, your DRC should now be paired and up-to-date!
