2. Put the controller into pairing mode.
3. Select the gaming controller in the Bluetooth settings of your smartphone/tablet to establish the connection.
4. Download the free SIKUCONTROLL APP from the App Store (iOS) / Google Play Store (Android) or update it to the latest version (at least version 1.4.0).
5. The SIKUCONTROL APP automatically receives data from the connected gaming controller – you're ready to go!

The gaming controller can only be used in conjunction with a Bluetooth-based SIKUCONTROL product and is therefore cannot be combined with tractors based on 2.4 GHz radio technology:
Item 6880 Fendt 939 Set with Remote Control
Item 6881 John Deere 8345R Set with Remote Control
Item 6882 Claas Axion 850 Set with Remote Control

No. All Bluetooth controllers that can be connected to a smartphone/tablet and are compatible with the Android or iOS operating systems can be used to control SIKUCONTROL products. For maximum driving pleasure, we recommend gaming controllers from well-known manufacturers.

Yes. All electronic trailers have a cable that can be used to connect them to the respective towing vehicle (tractor or lorry). The trailers thus receive the control command via the respective towing vehicle, which is driven by a gaming controller.

Control via a gaming controller is just one of three ways to control Bluetooth-based SIKU CONTROL items.
1. Via a gaming controller in combination with the SIKUCONTROL APP
2. Via the SIKUCONTROL APP only
3. Via the siku Bluetooth remote control (item no. 6730 / 6717)
If you do not yet own a siku remote control, please note that only a limited number of remote controls are still available and, for reasons of sustainability, they will not be reproduced.
If your gaming controller does not connect to your smartphone/tablet or the SIKUCONTROL APP, please check the following possible sources of error:
• Is the gaming controller compatible with the operating system of the smartphone/tablet?
• Is the operating system of the smartphone/tablet running the latest version?
• Is the SIKUCONTROL APP updated (at least version 1.3.4)?
• Is there a connection between the SIKUCONTROL item and a siku remote control (item 6730/6717)?
• Is the gaming controller sufficiently charged?
• Is the gaming controller within range?
• Is the gaming controller paired with another device?
