I got my code as well, I am in EU so if anyone interested in purchasing the V2 + already registered on Fanatec site just PM me with your email and I´ll transfer the code to you.
First one to ask...
Just make sure you really certain you are going to buy it if you ask for the code, do NOT feel like handing out my code to someone who is not gonna use it right away. I could potentially regret it later and would feel better if I know for certain my code went to someone who really needed/wanted it.

Box of goodies:
Big thanks to Eric for helping me get this gear, honestly man I can't thank you enough.
Not sure if anyone's spotted this before but check out the rim for this csr elite in the quick guide for the formula rim:
You can see on the bottom of the rim it's fully wrapped in leather, to me it look a little similar to the bmw rim

So a few guys asked me about my code for purchase from within the EU zone, I feel I have to stand by my word and hand code out to first man who asked me and if he already got one I just to next name just to keep it fair here.
EDIT: I saw that it already sorted itself out for MrPix, really glad to hear that good news for sure.
@ferid you are first man to ask, please let me know as soon as you can should I send it out or not? I´ll give you some time to get back to me.
Hope all of you who need/want a code get one.

Thanks Eric, gotta do what we can right..
However it´s not working for me (or for feric?), is ownership of previous V1 necessary for it to work?
Think he created account today but not bought from Fanatec earlier, or could be wrong about that have to ask?

Although I do have a v1, it doesn't show in my account in the webshop as I ordered it over the phone on the day the v2 was launched... so I don't think it matters whether or not you have a v1 to be a recipient of the code... the region however is important.Thanks Eric, gotta do what we can right..

Fanatec's T's and C's on the transfer of code:
You can transfer the code to a friend as long as he is a registered member at this webshop and in the same region as you. For example it is not possible to transfer a Japanese code to a member of the US webshop.
Please use the same e-mail address of the recipient which was used during registration. The code will automatically appear in his user profile and he will be notified by e-mail.

@superslowme You don't need to be a previous Fanatec owner to receive or use a code - just registered at Fanatec.com and in the same region as the person transferring the code. Are you sure he's in your region? If he just registered today maybe there is a slight delay? Try after a few more hours have gone by maybe.
I had been negotiating for a few weeks with the sales department and was waiting for a bonus from work... I had no idea about the v2 until the morning it was announced... went to pre-order and found it had been removed from the shop. Called them and they said as I had missed the pre-order window by a few hours, they would not let me pre-order without an invitation, but they had some held back stock on the shelf for replacements that they needed to shift.. and offered me a v1. I accepted as it got me a base and 3 rims + CSPv2 (and CSS SQ on backorder, due 30/9) there and then, it all arrived the following Monday.
You may think me mad but I thought, I know a lot of people and I can get a code before xmas... so the v1 will only have had a few months use, be in perfect condition and I can sell on at a small loss (if any as I got a discount on the bundle).... hence my desperation to get a code for a v2... so I can lose less on the v1.
I also estimated at the time that I will be at the back of the queue for an invitation as I can guarantee I was one of, if not the last person to get a v1 so I may have to wait 6-12 months until an invitation comes direct or the base is available to jo public.... so the v1 with 20 months warranty will be very appealing at the price I can afford to sell for.

I am currently in a conversation with support about the whereabouts of my code. I have the email saying I have it, but I don't. I don't even know if I want to use it. I just...if they say it's there, I want it to be there!
We'll see what support does for me.

That email address I got from you ferid never did work, not yesterday not today same error over and over again for me when trying to transfer it, I´m at home in bed (mostly anyways) with a pretty nasty infection in my lungs + on several different antibiotics at once so it drove me half mad yesterday felt so bad ferid could not get that darn code from me tried over and over again...
Anyways I got another temporary email address from him via PM today so tried that one with success right away.
This time I thought ahead and asked if he could consider giving away the second V2 code he will get from buying that V2, I suggested giving to Eric or someone who can make sure the right guy get it and that it is really being used!

Between the thread with support and the Fanatec message board I believe I've been asked this about 900 times now.
Yes. There is no code on my account, nor is there a "Configure" button on the V2 base like there should be for folks with a code. By reading the Fanatec forum it is clear that this same thing happened to quite a few people.

Sorry to hear that nubrocket, in that case I´m not sure there is much you can do about it for now, if it´s indeed a problem on Fanatec site that is? Think you have to contact Fanatec directly and get it sorted out, kinda sucks but what else to do my friend?
If you should decide that you wannt buy the V2 wheel asap then perhaps you could ask for someone else code and later on transfer your´s back to him when Fanatec sort out the problems?
Besides you also get a extra code after V2 purchase as well from what I understand.
Just a thought though I did read that you not sure if you want to purchase right away or not, I get that it must be frustrating when you expect the code to be there and they already sent the mail about it.
Not very helpful I know + it´s weekend now so I suppose you need to wait until Monday to contact then right?
Really do hope it gets sorted out for you.

@eKretz Mate do you know anybody in Australia with a code they don't intend on using? I assume now that they are pretty much finished with the first wave of preorders that us lowly "Other Clubsport Product" owners are next but it would be good to get the order underway now.

A bit frustrating but all good. Thanks for the suggestions! I just need to whine about it more than anything while I wait for them to fix it up.

Whining worked!
They fixed me up. Well, sort of. At some point in time I ended up with two Fanatec accounts. Maybe when they did the fancy site redesign? Anyhow, an old email address received the code and I was able to login with that account. The UI is a little different in the support section but, just like they said, there's a code there. Now to decide if I want to use it...
I have a buddy who gets first dibs. If he passes I'll offer it up here.

From Fanatec site: You can transfer the code to a friend as long as he is a registered member at this webshop and in the same region as you. For example it is not possible to transfer a Japanese code to a member of the US webshop.
